Metallicity Evolution of Damped Lyman-Alpha Galaxies

, 2002
We have reanalyzed the existing data on Zinc abundances in damped Ly-alpha (DLA) absorbers to investigate whether their mean metallicity evolves with time. Most models of cosmic chemical evolution predict that the mass- weighted mean interstellar metallicity of galaxies should rise with time from a low value ~ 1/30 solar at z ~ 3 to a nearly solar ...

Damped Lyman α systems in galaxy formation simulations [PDF]

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2008
We investigate the population of z=3 damped Lyman alpha absorbers (DLAs) in a recent series of high resolution galaxy formation simulations. The simulations are of interest because they form at z=0 some of the most realistic disk galaxies to date. No free parameters are available in our study: these have been fixed by physical and z=0 observational ...

The clustering of Lyman Alpha Emitting galaxies at [PDF]

Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics
We measure the clustering of Lyman Alpha Emitting galaxies (LAEs) selected from the One-hundred-square-degree DECam Imaging in Narrowbands (ODIN) survey, with spectroscopic follow-up from Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI). We use DESI spectroscopy to optimize our selection and to constrain the interloper fraction and redshift distribution of ...

The galaxy-IGM connection in THESAN: the physics connecting the IGM Lyman-$α$ opacity and galaxy density in the reionization epoch

The Open Journal of Astrophysics
The relation between the Lyman-$\alpha$ effective optical depth of quasar sightlines ($\tau_\mathrm{los}$) and the distribution of galaxies around them is an emerging probe of the connection between the first collapsed structures and the IGM properties ...

Escape Fractions from Unattenuated Lyα Emitters around Luminous z > 6 Quasars

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Ionized proximity zones around luminous quasars provide a unique laboratory to characterize the Ly α emission lines from z  > 6 galaxies without significant attenuation from the intergalactic medium (IGM).

Cosmology from clustering of Lyman-alpha galaxies: breaking non-gravitational Lyman-alpha radiative transfer degeneracies using the bispectrum

, 2012
Large surveys for Lyman-alpha emitting (LAE) galaxies have been proposed as a new method for measuring clustering of the galaxy population at high redshift with the goal of determining cosmological parameters.

The Sunburst Arc with JWST. IV. The Importance of Interaction, Turbulence, and Feedback for Lyman-continuum Escape

The Astrophysical Journal
At present, the best opportunity for detailed Lyman continuum (LyC) escape studies is in gravitationally lensed galaxies at z  ≳ 2. Only one such galaxy currently exists in the literature with sufficient magnification and spatial resolution: the Sunburst
