The SINS Survey: Broad Emission Lines in High-Redshift Star-Forming Galaxies (2009)
Shapiro, Kristen L., Genzel, Reinhard, Quataert, Eliot, Förster Schreiber, Natascha M., Davies, Richard, Tacconi, Linda, ...
High signal-to-noise, representative spectra of star-forming galaxies at z ~ 2, obtained via stacking, reveal a high-velocity component underneath the narrow Hα and [NII] emission lines. When...
Training the Next Generation of Astronomers (2009)
Williams, Peter K. G., Huff, Eric, Maness, Holly, Modjaz, Maryam, Shapiro, Kristen L., Silverman, Jeffrey M., ...
While both society and astronomy have evolved greatly over the past fifty years, the academic institutions and incentives that shape our field have remained largely stagnant. As a result, the...
The SINS Survey: Broad H-alpha Emission in High-Redshift Star-Forming Galaxies (2009)
Shapiro, Kristen L., Genzel, Reinhard, Quataert, Eliot, Schreiber, Natascha M. Förster, Davies, Richard, Tacconi, Linda, ...
High signal-to-noise, representative spectra of star-forming galaxies at z~2, obtained via stacking of the galaxies observed in the context of the SINS survey, reveal broad (FWHM > 1500 km/s) H-alpha...
Star-Forming Galaxies at z~2: An Emerging Picture of Galaxy Dynamics and Assembly (2009)
Shapiro, Kristen L., Genzel, Reinhard, Bouché, Nicolas, Buschkamp, Peter, Cresci, Giovanni, Davies, Ric, ...
In these proceedings, we summarize recent results from our "SINS" VLT/SINFONI integral-field survey, focusing on the 52 detected UV/optically-selected star-forming galaxies at z~2. Our H-alpha...
The SINS survey: broad emission lines in high-redshift star-forming galaxies (2009)
Shapiro, Kristen L., Genzel, Reinhard, Quataert, Eliot, Förster Schreiber, Natascha M., Davies, Richard, Tacconi, Linda, ...
Shapiro, Kristen L., Genzel, Reinhard, Schreiber, Natascha M. Förster, Tacconi, Linda J., Bouché, Nicolas, Cresci, Giovanni, ...
We present a simple set of kinematic criteria that can distinguish between galaxies dominated by ordered rotational motion and those involved in major merger events. Our criteria are based on the...
Genel, Shy, Genzel, Reinhard, Bouché, Nicolas, Sternberg, Amiel, Naab, Thorsten, Förster Schreiber, Natascha M., ...
Shapiro, Kristen L., Cappellari, Michele, De Zeeuw, Tim, McDermid, Richard M., Gebhardt, Karl, ...
We combine Hubble Space Telescope spectroscopy and ground-based integral-field data from the SAURON and OASIS instruments to study the central black hole in the nearby elliptical galaxy NGC 3379....
Young Kinematically Decoupled Components in Early-Type Galaxies (2006)
McDermid, Richard M., Emsellem, Eric, Shapiro, Kristen L., Bacon, R., Bureau, M., Cappellari, Michele, ...
We present results from a series of follow-up observations of a sub-sample of the representative SAURON survey elliptical (E) and lenticular (S0) galaxies using the OASIS integral-field spectrograph....

Observational Constraints on Disk Heating as a Function of Hubble Type (2003)
Shapiro, Kristen L., Gerssen, Joris, Van Der Marel, Roeland P.
Current understanding of the secular evolution of galactic disks suggests that this process is dominated by two or more heating mechanisms, which increase the random motions of stars in the disk. In...
