This is an ongoing project.

During last few years, new instruments like GIRAFFE (Flores, H., Hammer, F., Puech, M., et al., 2006, A&A 455,107) or SINFONI (Förster Schreiber, N.M., Genzel, R., Lehnert, M.D., et al., 2006, ApJ 645,1062) have began investigations on 3D kinematics of high redshift galaxies. This is just the head of the iceberg as Extremely Large Telescope will allow this kind of study on a larger sample. By now, it is important to be able to recover the actual kinematic parameters, and overall to disentangle evolutionnary effects from distance effects.
