SUMMARY:The Kinematic Assembly of Disk Galaxies - Susan Kassin (STSCI)
DTSTART:20150626T103000Z

CONTACT:Martin Haehnelt
DESCRIPTION:One of the most important open issues in astronomy is the asse
 mbly of galactic disks.   I approach this subject from an observational pe
 rspective\, tracing the kinematic  evolution of star-forming galaxies\nsin
 ce a redshift of 1\, or over the last 8 billion  years of the Universe.  I
  will discuss recent results that show the progressive (and mass-dependent
 ) assembly of disk galaxies over this time period. I will also introduce a
  mass threshold\, below which disk formation is\nnot guaranteed in today's
  universe.  These results strongly challenge the traditional analytic mode
 l of galaxy  formation and provide an important benchmark for simulations.
