Stars were born in significantly denser regions in the early Universe [PDF]

, 2014
The density of the warm ionized gas in high-redshift galaxies is known to be higher than what is typical in local galaxies on similar scales. At the same time, the mean global properties of the high- and low-redshift galaxies are quite different.

Accurately predicting the escape fraction of ionizing photons using restframe ultraviolet absorption lines [PDF]

, 2018
The fraction of ionizing photons that escape high-redshift galaxies sensitively determines whether galaxies reionized the early universe. However, this escape fraction cannot be measured from high-redshift galaxies because the opacity of the ...

Spectral Templates Optimal for Selecting Galaxies at z > 8 with the JWST

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The selection of high-redshift galaxies often involves spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting to photometric data, an expectation for contamination levels, and measurement of sample completeness—all vetted through comparison to spectroscopic redshift

The evolution of the cluster optical galaxy luminosity function between z=0.4 and 0.9 in the DAFT/FADA survey [PDF]

A&A 575, A116 (2015), 2014
We compute optical galaxy luminosity functions (GLFs) in the B, V, R, and I rest-frame bands for one of the largest medium-to-high-redshift (0.4 < z < 0.9) cluster samples to date in order to probe the abundance of faint galaxies in clusters. We also study how the GLFs depend on cluster redshift, mass, and substructure, and compare the GLFs of clusters

Spatial Extent of Molecular Gas, Dust, and Stars in Massive Galaxies at z ∼ 2.2–2.5 Determined with ALMA and JWST

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
We present the results of 0.″6-resolution observations of CO J = 3 − 2 line emission in 10 massive star-forming galaxies at z ∼ 2.2–2.5 with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA).

Structural and Morphological Properties of Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies at 1 < z < 3

Open Astronomy, 2015
Using the Hubble Space Telescope (HST)/Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) near-infrared high-resolution imaging from the 3D-HST survey, we analyze the morphology and structure of 502 ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs; LIR > 1012L⊙) at 1 < z < 3. Their rest-

CEERS Key Paper. III. The Diversity of Galaxy Structure and Morphology at z = 3–9 with JWST

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
We present a comprehensive analysis of the evolution of the morphological and structural properties of a large sample of galaxies at z = 3–9 using early James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) CEERS NIRCam observations. Our sample consists of 850 galaxies at z

The differential magnification of high-redshift ultraluminous infrared galaxies [PDF]

, 1998
A class of extremely luminous high-redshift galaxies has recently been detected in unbiased submillimetre-wave surveys using the Submillimetre Common-User Bolometer Array (SCUBA) camera at the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope.

Companions of Bright Barred Shapley Ames Galaxies [PDF]

Astron.J.126:1707,2003, 2003
Companion galaxy environment for a subset of 78 bright and nearby barred galaxies from the Shapley Ames Catalog is presented. Among spiral barred galaxies there are Seyfert galaxies, galaxies with circumnuclear structures, galaxies not associated with any large scale galaxy cloud structure, galaxies with peculiar disk morphology (crooked arms) and ...
