The KMOS3D Survey: Data Release and Final Survey Paper*

Abstract: We present the completed KMOS 3D survey − an integral field spectroscopic survey of 739, log(M /M ) > 9, galaxies at 0.6 < z < 2.7 using the K-band Multi Object Spectrograph (KMOS) at the Very Large Telescope (VLT). KMOS 3D provides a population-wide census of kinematics, star formation, outflows, and nebular gas conditions both on and off the star-forming galaxy main sequence through the spatially resolved and integrated properties of Hα, [NII], and [SII] emission lines. We detect Hα emission for 91% of galax… Show more

“…At all redshifts up to the (z ∼ 2) peak of the galaxy or SFR, MS SFGs have disky, exponential rest-frame optical-light distributions with Sersic indices, n Sersic ∼ 1-2 (Wuyts et al 2011b), despite the often clumpy and irregular appearance of z > 1 SFGs in the rest-frame UV. The majority of massive [log(M * /M ) > 10] SFGs are rotationally supported disks (e.g., Wisnioski et al 2015Wisnioski et al , 2019Simons et al 2017). With increasing redshift, the fraction of lower-mass SFGs with dispersiondominated kinematics increases, suggesting that these systems are not settled, equilibrium disks (Kassin et al 2012, Newman et al 2013, Simons et al 2017.…”

“…We are currently in an era of large IFU surveys of galaxies (Sánchez et al 2012;Bundy et al 2015;Bryant et al 2015;Stott et al 2016;Förster Schreiber et al 2018;Wisnioski et al 2019;den Brok et al 2020). Such statistical samples are now able to eliminate the selection biases from previous studies and give an overall picture of the ISM dynamics in the presence of both star formation and AGN processes.…”

“…Disk galaxies are increasingly clumpy and irregular at high redshift (e.g., Cowie et al 1995;van den Bergh et al 1996;Elmegreen & Elmegreen 2005;Elmegreen et al 2007aElmegreen et al , 2007bGuo et al 2018), and the gas velocity dispersions are several times higher than in local disk galaxies (e.g., Tacconi et al 2010;Wisnioski et al 2015Wisnioski et al , 2019Simons et al 2017). Starforming clumps (often referred to in local galaxies as "complexes" or "star-forming complexes;" "clumps" will be used throughout this paper) of kiloparsec size can be resolved out to redshifts z = 4-5 (Elmegreen & Elmegreen 2005;Elmegreen et al 2007aElmegreen et al , 2007bElmegreen et al , 2009bGuo et al 2015Guo et al , 2018, but their substructure is not resolved.…”
