Abstract We present a new measurement of the Ly α luminosity function (LF) at redshift z = 6.9, finding moderate evolution from 5.7 that is consistent with fully or largely ionized ∼ 7 intergalactic medium. Our result based on four fields LAGER (Lyman Alpha Galaxies in Epoch Reionization) project. survey volume 6.1 × 10 6 Mpc 3 double next largest survey. combine two (WIDE12 and GAMA15A) previously reported (COSMOS CDFS). In fields, we identify N 95 6.9 emitter (LAEs) candidates,...

Massive star-forming galaxies in the high-redshift universe host large reservoirs of cold gas their circumgalactic medium (CGM). Traditionally, these have been linked to diffuse H I Lyman- α (Ly ) emission extending beyond ≈10 kpc scales. In recent years, millimeter and submillimeter observations started identify even colder CGM through molecular and/or atomic tracers such as [C II ] 158 μm transition. this context, we studied well-known J1000+0234 system at z = 4.54 that hosts a massive...

We present gravitational-arc tomography of the cool-warm enriched circumgalactic medium (CGM) an isolated galaxy (``G1'') at $z \approx 0.77$. Combining VLT/MUSE adaptive-optics and Magellan/MagE echelle spectroscopy we obtain partially-resolved kinematics MgII in absorption [OII] emission. The unique arc configuration allows us to probe 42 spatially independent positions transverse G1, plus 4 front it. cover G1's minor major axes impact parameters $\approx 10-30$ kpc 60$ kpc, respectively....

High-redshift quasars are thought to live in the densest regions of space which should be made evident by an overdensity galaxies around them. However, campaigns identify these overdensities through search Lyman Break Galaxies (LBGs) and $\alpha$ emitters (LAEs) have had mixed results. These may explained either small field view some experiments, broad redshift ranges targeted LBG searches, inherent large uncertainty quasar redshifts estimated from UV emission lines, makes it difficult place...

Abstract Spatially extended halos of H i Ly α emission are now ubiquitously found around high-redshift star-forming galaxies. But our understanding the nature and powering mechanisms these is still hampered by complex radiative transfer effects line limited angular resolution. In this paper, we present resolved Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) observations SGAS J122651.3+215220, a strongly lensed pair L * galaxies at z = 2.92 embedded in halo (6.2 ± 1.3) × 10 42 erg s −1 . Globally,...

Context: Outflows from low-mass star-forming galaxies are a fundamental ingredient for models of galaxy evolution and cosmology. Aims: The onset kpc-scale ionised filaments in the halo metal-poor compact dwarf SBS 0335-052E was previously not linked to an outflow. We here we investigate whether these provide evidence Methods: obtained new VLT/MUSE WFM deep NRAO/VLA B-configuration 21cm data galaxy.

Abstract We report spectroscopic confirmations of 15 Ly α galaxies at z ∼ 7, implying a confirmation rate ∼80% on candidates selected from the Galaxies in Epoch Reionization (LAGER), which is largest (24 deg 2 ) survey aimed finding emitters (LAEs) 7 and uses deep narrowband imaging Dark Energy Camera CTIO. LAEs high redshifts are sensitive probes cosmic reionization, robust effective method for selecting large number LAEs. In this work, we present results follow-up LAE two LAGER fields,...

ABSTRACT In recent years, the astronomical scientific community has made significant efforts to automate quasars’ detection. Automatic classification of these objects is challenging since they are very distant and appear as point sources, outnumbered by other sources. Thus, performing automatic morphological not straightforward; colour dimension seems better a key concept. Previous work using machine learning tools proposed classifiers that use features such magnitude colour, working only...

The epoch of reionization is a landmark in structure formation and galaxy evolution. How it happened still not clear, especially regarding which population objects was responsible for contributing the bulk ionizing photons to this process. Doubly peaked Lyman-alpha profiles are particular interest since they hold information about escape radiation environment surrounding source.
