Evolution of gaseous disk viscosity driven by supernova explosion. II. Structure and emissions from star-forming galaxies at high redshift

(Abridged) High redshift galaxies are undergoing intensive evolution of dynamical structure and morphologies. We incorporate the feedback into the dynamical equations through mass dropout and angular momentum transportation driven by the SNexp-excited turbulent viscosity. We numerically solve the equations and show that there can be intensive evolution of structure of the gaseous disk. Secular evolution of the disk shows interesting characteristics that are 1) high viscosity excited by SNexp can efficiently transport the gas from 10kpc to $\sim 1$kpc forming a stellar disk whereas a stellar ring forms for the case with low viscosity; 2) starbursts trigger SMBH activity with a lag $\sim 10^8$yr depending on star formation rates, prompting the joint evolution of SMBHs and bulges; 3) the velocity dispersion is as high as $\sim 100~\kms$ in the gaseous disk. In order to compare the present models with the observed dynamical structure and images, we use the incident continuum from the simple stellar synthesis (GALAXEV) and CLOUDY to calculate emission line ratios of H$α$, H$β$, $\OIII$ and $\NII$, and H$α$ brightness of gas photoionized by young massive stars formed on the disks. The models can produce the main features of emission from star forming galaxies and the observed relation between turbulent velocity and the H$α$ brightness. We successfully apply the present model to BX 389 and BX 482 observed in SINS high$-z$ sample, which are bulge and disk-dominated, respectively. High viscosity excited by SNexp is able to efficiently transport the gas into a bulge to maintain high star formation rates, or, to form a stellar ring close enough to the bulge so that it immigrates into the bulge of its host galaxy. This leads to a fast growing bulge. Implications and future work of the present models have been extensively discussed for galaxy formation.
