A spatially resolved map of the kinematics, star formation and stellar mass assembly in a star-forming galaxy at<i>z</i>= 4.9
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We present a detailed study of the spatially resolved kinematics, star formation and stellar mass in a highly amplified galaxy at z= 4.92 behind the lensing cluster MS 1358+62. We use the observed optical, near- and mid-infrared imaging from Hubble Space Telescope ACS & NICMOS and Spitzer IRAC to derive the stellar mass and the Gemini/NIFS IFU to investigate the velocity structure of the galaxy from the nebular [O ii]λλ3726.8,3728.9 emission. Using a detailed gravitational lens model, we account for lensing amplification factor 12.5 ± 2.0 and find that this intrinsically L* galaxy has a stellar mass of M★= 7 ± 2 × 108 M⊙, a dynamical mass of Mdyn= 3 ± 1 × 109csc2(i) M⊙ (within of 2 kpc) and a star formation rate of 42 ± 8 M⊙ yr−1. The source-plane UV/optical morphology of this galaxy is dominated by five discrete star-forming regions. Exploiting the dynamical information we derive masses for individual star-forming regions of Mcl∼ 108−9 M⊙ with sizes of ∼200 pc. We find that, at a fixed size, the star formation rate density within these H ii regions is approximately two orders of magnitude greater than those observed in local spiral/starburst galaxies, but consistent with the most massive H ii regions in the local Universe such as 30 Doradus. Finally, we compare the spatially resolved nebular emission-line velocity with the Lyα and UV interstellar medium (ISM) lines and find that this galaxy is surrounded by a galactic scale outflow in which the Lyα appears redshifted by ∼150 km s−1 and the UV-ISM lines blueshifted by ∼−200 km s−1 from the (systemic) nebular emission. The velocity structure of the outflow mirrors that of the nebular emission suggesting the outflow is young (≲15 Myr), and has yet to burst out of the system. Taken together, these results suggest that this young galaxy is undergoing its first major epoch of mass assembly.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
