Deviations of  300 km/s - Vel gradients of 50 km/s/kpc - Associated with the stellar envelope - Average velocities of E and W lobes: +8 and -79 km/s - Not dominated by central, starburst-driven wind - Average velocities of E and W lobes consistent with merger simulations (to first order)

14  Velocity field on scales of few to several kpc does not correspond in general to that of an ordered, rotating system  Peak-to-peak velocity amplitudes of up to 600 km/s are detected in tidally induced structures: tails and extranuclear star-forming regions  The peak of the velocity dispersion in 60% of the ULIRGs studied does not coincide in position with the stellar nucleus  Velocity dispersions associated with extranuclear, diffuse ionized gas are large: 150 to 250 km/s  Velocity dispersion associated with the less massive, secondary nucleus in pairs is not distinguishable from that of the extended, diffuse gas  Extended ionized gas velocities on scales of few to several kpc are not wind-related but merger-induced 2D KINEMATICS OF ULIRGS: SUMMARY

17 IMPLICATIONS FOR HIGH-Z GALAXIES: SFR and MASS LIRGS and ULIRGs carry a large fraction oof SF at z> 1 SPITZER and HERSCHEL most likely to detect LIRGs at high-z KEY PARAMETERS  SFR AND DYNAMICAL MASS  H  line Strong differential extinction effects Decoupled ionized & stellar structures INTEGRAL FIELD SPECTROSCOPY Complex 2D velocity field H  line shifts into the near and mir-IR (1 to 10 micron) for z> 1 near-IR multi-slit spectrographs NOT GOOD ENOUGH  MISLEADING DERIVATIONS OF SFRs AND MASSES IN HIGH-Z LUMINOUS DUST-ENSHROUDED STARBURST

18 IMPLICCATIONS FOR HIGH-Z GALAXIES (I) García-Marín, Colina & Arribas, see poster A v (C)= 5.6 mag A v (D)= 2.2 mag

19 IMPLICATIONS FOR HIGH-Z GALAXIES (II) García-Marín, Colina & Arribas, see poster HST F814W NIRCam Z=2.5 INTEGRAL H  NIRSpec IFU H  SFR(1)/SFR(2)= 2 m(1)/m(2)=0.25 1 2

20 IMPLICATIONS FOR HIGH-Z GALAXIES: SUMMARY IF most high-z galaxies are merging systems such as low-z ULIRGs THEN  H  velocity amplitudes should not be used in general to estimate M dyn  H  central velocity dispersions are a more reliable tracer of the M dyn, provided the true nucleus is known from near-IR imaging  H  -based star formation rates can be underestimated, factors 2 or 3 in some systems, even if corrected by strong differential extinction effects  Long-slit spectroscopy could give misleading results. IFS desirable.
