H alpha kinematics of a z similar to 1 disc galaxy from near-infrared integral field spectroscopy

In this Letter we present the first 3D spectroscopic study of Hα emission in a z ∼ 1 field galaxy with an integral field unit. Using the Cambridge Infrared Panoramic Survey Spectrograph (CIRPASS) on Gemini-South, we map the spatial and velocity distribution of Hα emission in the z = 0.819 galaxy CFR...
