“…The different redshifts of the sources are indicated by different colors. As expected from the known evolution of the "main sequence" of star-forming galaxies (e.g., Whitaker et al 2012;Schreiber et al 2015), sources at higher redshifts tend to have a higher SFR per unit stellar mass. Comparing with the Herschel-based results by Schreiber et al (2015), we find that half of the galaxies in our sample (ID.1, 2, 4, 8, 9, 10) lie on the main sequence (within a factor3 ) at their redshift.…”

“…These extreme sources might contribute significantly to the star formation budget in the universe at > z 4, but their role declines with cosmic time (Casey et al 2014). Indeed, the bulk of star formation up toz 2 is observed in galaxies along the so-called "main sequence" (Elbaz et al 2007Noeske et al 2007;Daddi et al 2010aDaddi et al , 2010bGenzel et al 2010;Wuyts et al 2011;Whitaker et al 2012), a tight (scatter rms ∼0.3 dex) relation between the SFR and the stellar mass, M * . Addressing the molecular gas content of main-sequence galaxies beyond the local universe has become feasible only in recent years.…”

We study the molecular gas properties of high-z galaxies observed in the ALMA Spectroscopic Survey (ASPECS) that targets a ∼ 1 arcmin 2 region in the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (UDF), a blind survey of CO emission (tracing molecular gas) in the 3 mm and 1 mm bands. Of a total of 1302 galaxies in the field, 56 have spectroscopic redshifts and correspondingly well-defined physical properties. Among these, 11 have infrared luminosities L IR > 10 11 L , i.e. a detection in CO emission was expected. Out these, 7 are detected at various significance in CO, and 4 are undetected in CO emission. In the CO-detected sources, we find CO excitation conditions that are lower than typically found in starburst/SMG/QSO environments. We use the CO luminosities (including limits for non-detections)

“…Our targets are marked by blue symbols; those detected in the PEP survey have been highlighted by a red star. From this figure it is possible to see that, with the exception of XID60053 which is above the MS, our targets lie in or below the MS of star forming galaxies at z∼ 1.5 as defined by the black line (Whitaker et al 2012). For the 6 PEP undetected sources, we report in Fig.…”

We present X-shooter@VLT observations of a sample of 10 luminous, X-ray obscured QSOs at z∼ 1.5 from the XMM-COSMOS survey, expected to be caught in the transitioning phase from starburst to AGN dominated systems. The main selection criterion is X-ray detection at bright fluxes (L X > ∼ 10 44 erg s −1 ) coupled to red optical-to-NIR-to-MIR colors. Thanks to its large wavelength coverage, X-shooter allowed us to determine accurate redshifts from the presence of multiple emission lines for five out of six targets for which we had only a photometric redshift estimate, with a 80% success rate, significantly larger than what is observed in similar programs of spectroscopic follow-up of red QSOs. We report the detection of broad and shifted components in the [OIII]λλ5007,4959 complexes for 6 out of 8 sources with these lines observable in regions free from strong atmospheric absorptions. The FWHM associated with the broad components are in the range FWHM∼ 900 − 1600 km s −1 , larger than the average value observed in SDSS Type 2 AGN samples at similar observed [OIII] luminosity, but comparable to those observed for QSO/ULIRGs systems for which the presence of kpc scale outflows have been revealed through IFU spectroscopy. Although the total outflow energetics (inferred under reasonable assumptions) may be consistent with winds accelerated by stellar processes, we favour an AGN origin for the outflows given the high outflow velocities oberved (v> 1000 km s −1 ) and the presence of strong winds also in objects undetected in the far infrared.

“…Another type of lookback study involves using the observed correlation between stellar mass and star formation rate, hereafter referred to as the SFR-M * relation (e.g., Brinchmann et al 2004;Noeske et al 2007;Gilbank et al 2011;Whitaker et al 2012;Speagle et al 2014). By tracing along this evolving star formation sequence it is possible to predict how galaxies should evolve due to star formation (e.g., Leitner 2012;Speagle et al 2014).…”

We explore star formation histories (SFHs) of galaxies based on the evolution of the star formation rate stellar mass relation (SFR-M * ). Using data from the FourStar Galaxy Evolution Survey (ZFOURGE) in combination with far-IR imaging from the Spitzer and Herschel observatories we measure the SFR-M * relation at 0.5 < z < 4. Similar to recent works we find that the average infrared spectral energy distributions of galaxies are roughly consistent with a single infrared template across a broad range of redshifts and stellar masses, with evidence for only weak deviations. We find that the SFR-M * relation is not consistent with a single power law of the form M SFR * µ a at any redshift; it has a power law slope of α ∼ 1 at low masses, and becomes shallower above a turnover mass (M 0 ) that ranges from 10 9.5 to 10 10.8 M e , with evidence that M 0 increases with redshift. We compare our measurements to results from state-of-the-art cosmological simulations, and find general agreement in the slope of the SFR-M * relation albeit with systematic offsets. We use the evolving SFR-M * sequence to generate SFHs, finding that typical SFRs of individual galaxies rise at early times and decline after reaching a peak. This peak occurs earlier for more massive galaxies. We integrate these SFHs to generate mass growth histories and compare to the implied mass growth from the evolution of the stellar mass function (SMF). We find that these two estimates are in broad qualitative agreement, but that there is room for improvement at a more detailed level. At early times the SFHs suggest mass growth rates that are as much as 10× higher than inferred from the SMF. However, at later times the SFHs under-predict the inferred evolution, as is expected in the case of additional growth due to mergers.
