Mapping the dynamics, star-formation rates, and chemical properties of galaxies with integral field spectroscopy
Major advances in the development of instruments for eight and ten meter class telescopes are revolutionising our understanding of galaxy formation. In particular, Integral Field Spectrographs (which produce a three dimensional (x, y, velocity) map of a galaxy) now permit studies of distant galaxies...
