Stellar angular momentum and star formation history of intermediate-redshift galaxies

Studying the galaxy's angular momentum at different cosmic times and environments is crucial for understanding how the galaxy's kinematics evolves. We studied the stellar rotation of galaxies parametrized by the spin parameter (λR), a proxy for the stellar angular momentum in a sample of 106 intermediate-redshift galaxies (0.1 < z < 0.8) in the CANDELS/GOODS-S and CANDELS/COSMOS regions observed with MUSE. I will present the results from extracting spatially resolved stellar velocity and velocity dispersion maps, computing and correcting the spin parameter. We do not find in our sample a population of slow rotators, and we do not see an evident evolution or trend in the stellar angular momentum with redshift. Furthermore, we characterized the galaxy environment using two different indicators: a local estimator based on the Voronoi tesselation method, and a global estimator derived by the use of the friends-of-friends (FoF) algorithm. We find no correlation between the environment and λR given that we are not probing dense regions or massive galaxy structures. Additionally, we retrieve the global stellar population parameters and study the star formation histories of the galaxy sample. I will conclude my presentation with a discussion on the visible connections between the mass assembly and the kinematic properties of galaxies.
