4.  The galaxy lies in a region underdense in L* galaxies. This may have allowed its formation and survival, enabling it to evolve in the unusual LIRG  Grey: galaxies in 10Mpc volume around HIZOA The Environment NIR (JHK) imaging survey of 2.24 ☐ o  404 galaxies; phot-z: quiet low density area 0.03 < z < 0.04

5. Various composite images of HIZOA J0836-43 Opt: nearly invisible NIR: prominent bulge; 20cm extended MIR: extended SF disk Similar to 20cm Extended SF also strong in PAHs (6.2,7.7, 11.3) And [NeII]  All SF indicators extend beyond the old evolved stellar pop.  50kpc SF disk Cluver et al. ApJ 2010

7. resembles Sc-galaxy Note:not S0/Sa as from NIR imaging/photometry strong MIR emission (5- 8μm)  but PAH’s strong emission from cold dust (λ > 60μm) But it does not match starburst (see M82) Cluver, Jarrett et al. ApJL (2008) SED of HIZOA J0836-43: NIR, IRAC, MIPS L TIR = 1.2 ×10 11 L   Luminous Infrared Galaxy (LIRG) SFR = 20.5 M  / yr (Kennicutt 1998)

8. Spitzer IRS Spectroscopy (MIR) of nucleus Combined SL (5-14μm) + SH (10-20μm) + LH (19- 38μm) Relatively weak continuum Strong excited nebular lines Typical of SF/SB regions but also of PDR (RN) But no [Ne V] & [O IV]  AGN absent (or weak) Strong PAH Emission  extended > nucleus but weak MIR continuum weak rotational H 2 lines - T ~ 330K - M = 1.3 × 10 7 M  Strong PAH emission Cluver et al. ApJ (2010)

9. CO observations using Mopra (2009,2010) What about cold molecular gas? Observed: very little warm H 2 -gas  Prediction: from L FIR  M gas = 1.3 x 10 10 M  Central pointing, 16.6 hrs, beam 30”; entire disk 1’ Most of gas in beam; lower limit for mass estimate - Rapidly rotating mol disk - No low velocity gas - M cold gas = 3.9 x 10 9 M   lower than predicted - M(H 2 )/M(HI) = 5 % - f mol gas = 8% - Gas fraction = 64 %

10. Lots of stars + lots of gas + building M* = 4.4×10 10 M  + M HI = 7.5×10 10 M  + M H2+He = 3.9 ×10 9 M  SFR = 20.5 M  /yr & sSFR = 0.47 Gyr -1 Gas Fraction ~ 64% & Molecular Gas Fraction > 8%  vigorously star-forming extended stellar disk (inside-out)  Properties as scaled-up version of local disk galaxies (a) How does this compare to other local SF disk galaxies? (b) How does this compare to more distant systems? (c) Can we say something about the star formation processes, bimodality? What’s the connection?

11. (a) Comparison to SINGS galaxies (Dale et al. 2009)

12. M * = 4.4 x 10 10 M  (using Bell et al.; 2003) - implies young stellar- building phase - sSFR = 0.47 Gyr -1 - can double stellar mass in 2Gyr HIZOA J0836-43 (hashed lines indicate SFR of 10, 30, 100M  /yr)  (a) Comparison to sample of local LIRG’s (z < 0.1) (Wang et al.; 2006)

13. (b) Comparison to higher redshift SF Galaxies HIZOA J0836-43 is building stellar mass… → HIZOA J0836-43 is more similar to the z ~ 0.7 galaxies than local star forming galaxies Bell et al. (2005) 

14. SFR = 150(M ★ /10 11 ) 0.8 ([1+z]/3.2) 2.7 (Bouché et al. 2010) The so-called main sequence of SF at a given M ★ as a f(z)  20.5 M  /yr corresponds to z ~ 0.95 (b) Gas-Star Formation relation over Cosmic Time Genzel et al. (2010) for normal SF galaxies (crosses from CO-line emission) Grey crosses: Noeske et al (2007), Daddi et al. (2007)

15. z ~ 0 LIRGs are relatively rare locally (5% of ED IR ) Local ones: mostly major mergers HIZOA is coldest LIRG (MIR cont) compared to GOALS  scaled-up galaxy wrt gas mass, SF properties From z~ 0.1 - 1.0 LIRG;s show little evidences of major merging, mostly minor; heightened SF because of high gas fraction (e.g. Bell 2005, Melbourne et al 2008, Robaine 2009, … Noorden et al. 2011) z ~ 1.0 LIRGs are more common (70% of ED IR ) Have high gas fraction, hence high SF BUT low SF efficiency  similar to scaled-up local disk galaxies Noorden et al. 2011: ”Larger gas fractions at higher redshift permit larger LIR before invoking special events like mergers and will shift correlations with LIR. Discussion

16. (c) Understanding Star Formation : Gas content  SFR  Stellar mass Daddi et al. 2010 ApJL

17. Main points: a local LIRG Rapidly rotating HI and CO (molecular gas) disk - “large gas reservoir”; is it accreting? Old bulge + ‘new’ (forming) stellar disk - not a major merger - instead it is a "disk" starburst --> we see clear *inside-out* disk building - consistent to higher z: larger SFR is due to larger gas reservoirs Similarities to *z~1* (gas content, stellar mass, SFR - but not molecular gas fraction ) - study mechanism of "big disk" star formation (inside-out formation) - at an observationally feasible distance (z~0.036) compared to distant disks at *epoch of peak stellar building*

19. Future Plans ATCA : long baselines = higher angular resolution Distribution and kinematics of HI (and warp) Probe interface between H 2 and HI  DONE (Feb 2011) Herschel Proposal Some of the results: -Cluver et al. 2008 ApJL 686, L17 (arXiv:0808.4040) -Cluver et al. 2010 ApJ 725, 1550 (arXiv: 1010.3550) - Michelle Cluver at : mcluver@ipac.caltech.edu

20. Noeske et al. (2007) : AEGIS galaxies form a “main-sequence” with a limited range of SFRs at a given M stellar and z MS as a whole moves to higher SFR as z increases LIRGs at z~1 mostly reflect the high SFR typical for massive galaxies at that epoch Daddi et al. (2010): Two modes of SF : long-lasting for disks vs rapid for starbursts Difference due to fraction of molecular gas in dense clouds? Different α CO for mergers vs non-mergers (c) Understanding Star Formation : Gas content  SFR  Stellar mass

23. Molecular gas fractions and star formation mechanisms 34% @ z~1.2 (update 45%) 44% @ z~2.2 (update 56%) HIZOA (from CO): 3.9 x 10 9 M   8.8 % (lower limit) Genzel et al. (2010)Tacconi et al. (2010)  HIZOA lies on the line of actively starforming galaxies,  and not on the line of of major merger
