Lyman Break Galaxies and the Lyman-alpha Forest

open access: yes, 2002
We use hydrodynamic simulations to predict correlations between Lya forest absorption and galaxies at redshift z~3. The probability distribution function (PDF) of Lya flux decrements shifts systematically towards higher values in the vicinity of galaxies, reflecting the overdense environments in which these galaxies reside. The predicted signal remains

Deciphering Spatially Resolved Lyman-Alpha Profiles in Reionization Analogs: The Sunburst Arc at Cosmic Noon

open access: yesThe Open Journal of Astrophysics
The hydrogen Lyman-alpha (Ly$\alpha$) emission line, the brightest spectral feature of a photoionized gas, is considered an indirect tracer of the escape of Lyman continuum (LyC) photons, particularly when the intergalactic medium is too opaque for ...

In Search of the First Stars: An Ultra-compact and Very-low-metallicity Lyα Emitter Deep within the Epoch of Reionization

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present JWST observations of a gravitationally lensed, extremely metal-poor galaxy at redshift z = 8.203 ± 0.001 from the CANUCS survey. Based on the low oxygen to Balmer line ratios, we infer a gas-phase metallicity of 12 + log(O/H) = 6.85 (1.4 ...

Lyman Alpha Driven Outflows Around Star Forming Galaxies

open access: yes, 2008
We present accurate Monte-Carlo calculations of Lyman Alpha (hereafter Lya) radiation pressure in a range of models which represent galaxies during various epochs of our Universe. We show that the radiation force that Lya photons exert on hydrogen gas in the neutral intergalactic medium (IGM), that surrounds minihalos that host the first stars, may ...

The Redshift Evolution of Extended Lyα Emission in HETDEX. I. Imaging Methods and Emission Measurements

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We investigate extended Ly α emission using integral-field unit (IFU) data from the Hobby–Eberly Telescope Dark Energy Experiment (or HETDEX). We apply the modified Shepard method to image 106,853 Ly α emitters (LAEs) and median-stack them as functions ...

CECILIA: Ultradeep Rest-optical Spectra of Faint Galaxies at Cosmic Noon

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
Intrinsically faint galaxies at z  ∼ 2–3 offer critical insights into early galaxy formation, tracing low-metallicity, low-mass systems during cosmic noon and serving as analogs to reionization-era galaxies. We present ultradeep JWST/NIRSpec spectroscopy

CLASSY. XI. Tracing Neutral Gas Properties Using UV Absorption Lines and 21 cm Observations

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Rest-frame far-ultraviolet (FUV) observations from JWST are revolutionizing our understanding of the high- z galaxies that drove reionization and the mechanisms by which they accomplished it.
