We study the formation and evolution of a sample Lyman Break Galaxies in Epoch Reionization by using high-resolution ($\sim 10 \,{\rm pc}$), cosmological zoom-in simulations part SERRA suite. In SERRA, we follow interstellar medium (ISM) thermo-chemical non-equilibrium evolution, perform on-the-fly radiative transfer radiation field (ISRF). The simulation outputs are post-processed to compute emission far infrared lines ([CII], [NII], [OIII]). At $z=8$, most massive galaxy, `Freesia', has an...

The recent discovery of dusty galaxies well into the Epoch Reionization (redshift z > 6) poses challenging questions about properties interstellar medium in these pristine systems. By combining state-of-the-art hydrodynamic and dust radiative transfer simulations, we address focusing on recently discovered galaxy A2744_YD4 (z = 8.38, Laporte et al.). We show that can reproduce observed spectral energy distribution (SED) only using different physical values with respect to inferred ones by...

ABSTRACT A tight relation between the [C ii] 158 $\mu$m line luminosity and star formation rate is measured in local galaxies. At high redshift (z > 5), though, a much larger scatter observed, with considerable (15–20 per cent) fraction of outliers being ii]-deficient. Moreover, surface brightness ($\Sigma_{\rm [C\, \small {II}]}$) these sources systematically lower than expected from relation. To clarify origin such ii]-deficiency, we have developed an analytical model that fits data has...

We study the kinematical properties of galaxies in Epoch Reionization via [CII] 158$\mu$m line emission. The profile provides information on kinematics as well structural such presence a disk and satellites. To understand how these are encoded profile, first we develop analytical models from which identify inclination gas turbulent motions key parameters affecting profile. gain further insights, use "Althaea", highly-resolved ($30\, \rm pc$) simulated prototypical Lyman Break Galaxy,...

We introduce SERRA, a suite of zoom-in high-resolution ($\sim 10\,\rm pc$) cosmological simulations including non-equilibrium chemistry and on-the-fly radiative transfer. The outputs are post-processed to derive galaxy UV+FIR continuum emission line properties. Results compared with available multi-wavelength data constrain the physical properties (e.g., star formation rates, stellar/gas/dust mass, metallicity) high-redshift $6 \lesssim z 15$ galaxies. This flagship paper focuses on $z=7.7$...

We investigate the radiative transfer of Lyman alpha photons through simplified anisotropic gas distributions, which represent physically motivated extensions popular 'shell-models'. Our study is by notion that (i) shell models do not always reproduce observed spectral line profiles, (ii) (typical) allow for escape ionizing photons, and (iii) observation & expectation winds are more complex, phenomena. examine influence inclination on spectra, relative fluxes fractions. find flux to be...

We derive the halo mass function (HMF) for fuzzy dark matter (FDM) by solving excursion set problem explicitly with a mass-dependent barrier function, which has not been done before. find that compared to naive approach of Sheth–Tormen HMF FDM, our higher cutoff and changes less strongly redshifts.

We study the CO line luminosity (LCO), shape of spectral energy distribution (SLED), and value CO-to-H2 conversion factor in galaxies Epoch Reionization (EoR). For this aim, we construct a model that simultaneously takes into account radiative transfer clumpy structure giant molecular clouds (GMCs) where lines are excited. then use it to post-process state-of-the-art zoomed, high resolution (30 pc), cosmological simulation main-sequence (M* ≈ 1010 M⊙, SFR 100 M⊙ yr− 1) galaxy, 'Althæa', at z...

ABSTRACT Extended Lyman alpha emission is now commonly detected around high-redshift galaxies through stacking and even on individual basis. Despite recent observational advances, the physical origin of these haloes (LAHs), as well their relationships to galaxies, quasars, circumgalactic gas, other environmental factors remains unclear. We present results from our new full radiative transfer code voroiltis which runs directly unstructured Voronoi tessellation cosmological hydrodynamical...

We compare the physical and morphological properties of z ~ 2 Lyman-alpha emitting galaxies (LAEs) identified in HETDEX Pilot Survey narrow band studies with those optical emission line (oELGs) via HST WFC3 infrared grism spectroscopy. Both sets extend over same range stellar mass (7.5 < logM 10.5), size (0.5 R 3.0 kpc), star-formation rate (~1 SFR 100). Remarkably, a comparison most commonly used parameters -- mass, half-light radius, UV slope, star formation rate, ellipticity, nearest...

We present simulations of Lyman-Alpha radiation transfer in an isolated disk galaxy with a turbulence sub-grid model, multi-phase interstellar medium and detailed star formation modelling. investigate the influence inclination on observed properties for different snapshots. The Lyman-alpha spectrum, equivalent width distribution escape fractions vary significantly morphology disk, leading to variations from one snapshot another. In particular, we find that supernova-driven cavities near...

In the context of structure formation with ultralight axion dark matter, we offer an alternative explanation for mass relation solitonic cores and their host halos observed in numerical simulations. Our argument is based entirely on gain that occurs during major mergers binary largely independent initial core-halo assigned to hosts have just collapsed. We find a between halo ${M}_{h}$ corresponding core ${M}_{c}$, ${M}_{c}\ensuremath{\propto}{M}_{h}^{2\ensuremath{\beta}\ensuremath{-}1}$,...

The intrinsic strength of the Ly α line in young, star-forming systems makes it a special tool for studying high-redshift galaxies. However, interpreting observations remains challenging due to complex radiative transfer involved. Here, we combine state-of-the-art hydrodynamical simulations ‘Althæa’, prototypical Lyman Break Galaxy (LBG; stellar mass |$M_{\star }\simeq 10^{10}\, {\rm M}_{\odot }$|⁠) at z = 7.2, with detailed computations dust/continuum, [C ii]158 |$\mu$|m, and clarify...

ABSTRACT We investigate the infrared (IR) emission of high-redshift (z ∼ 6), highly star-forming (${{\rm SFR}\gt 100\,{\rm M}_{\odot }\, {\rm yr}^{-1}}$) galaxies, with/without active galactic nuclei (AGN), using a suite cosmological simulations featuring dust radiative transfer. Synthetic spectral energy distributions (SEDs) are used to quantify relative contribution stars/AGN heating.
