Early disk galaxies revealed by gravitational lensing: What did the Milky Way look like at z~2?

  • 1. University of Hawaii / University of California, Davis

Description

This talk focuses on evolution of galaxies similar to the Milky Way. Magnification from gravitational lensing offers a promising way to study these galaxies at intermediate redshifts, which are otherwise poorly resolved in current surveys. I discuss measurements of gas kinematics and chemical abundances, which reveal in situ formation of thick disks in Milky Way-like galaxies at z~2.
