Abstract
Observations of the internal kinematics of local
galaxies have played a key role in the development of our current
scenario for galaxy formation. Recently, it has become possible to
measure the internal kinematics of large samples of galaxies (~500 to
~25,000) to high redshift (z~1). I will present new results from
studies of galaxy kinematics over 0.1 < z < 1.5 using data from the
DEEP2 Survey and discuss how they inform our picture of galaxy
formation. The focus of this talk will be on two studies: the
relation between galaxy stellar mass and rotation velocity (the
stellar mass Tully-Fisher relation), and the distribution of galaxy
line widths (the galaxy velocity function).
