Thirty Meter Telescope International Observatory Detailed Science Case 2024
Warren Skidmore, Bob Kirshner, David Andersen +168
The Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) International Observatory (TIO) will be a revolutionary leap forward in astronomical observing capabilities, enabling us to address some of the mos…
An Emission-Line Search for Star-Forming Dwarf Galaxies Toward Abell 851
Crystal Martin, Jennifer Lotz, Henry C. Ferguson
(Abridged) We present deep, narrow-band images of the redshift 0.41 galaxy cluster Abell 851 (Cl 0939+4713) which isolate [OII] 3726,29 line emission. The [OII]-selected galaxies l…
The Prevalence of Turbulence-Regulated Multiphase Galactic Winds in Star-Forming Galaxies
Zhihui Li, Timothy Heckman, Max Gronke +8
We build upon our previously developed multi-ion radiative transfer (RT) framework, PEACOCK, to investigate the kinematic and energetic structure of cool-to-warm galactic winds in…
The Influence of Supershells and Galactic Outflows on the Escape of Ionizing Radiation from Dwarf Starburst Galaxies
Akimi Fujita, Crystal Martin, Mordecai-Mark Mac Low +1
We study the escape of Lyman continuum radiation from the disks of dwarf starburst galaxies, with and without supershells, by solving the radiation transfer problem of stellar radi…
Galactic Winds across the Gas-Rich Merger Sequence II. Lyman Alpha Emission and Highly Ionized O VI and N V Outflows in Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies
Weizhe Liu, Sylvain Veilleux, David S. N. Rupke +3
This paper is the second in a series aimed at examining the gaseous environments of z0.3 quasars and ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs) as a function of AGN/host galaxy…
Serendipitous Discovery of an Overdensity of Lyman-Alpha Emitters at z~4.8 in the Cl1604 Supercluster Field
Brian C. Lemaux, Lori M. Lubin, Marcin Sawicki +6
We present results of a spectroscopic search for Lyman-alpha emitters (LAEs) in the Cl1604 supercluster field using the extensive spectroscopic Keck/DEIMOS database taken as part o…
Temperature-based metallicity measurements at z=0.8: direct calibration of strong-line diagnostics at intermediate redshift
Tucker Jones, Crystal Martin, Michael C. Cooper
We present the first direct calibration of strong-line metallicity diagnostics at significant cosmological distances using a sample at z=0.8 drawn from the DEEP2 Galaxy Redshift Su…
The brightest UV-selected galaxies in protoclusters at : Ancestors of Brightest Cluster Galaxies?
Kei Ito, Nobunari Kashikawa, Jun Toshikawa +13
We present the results of a survey of the brightest UV-selected galaxies in protoclusters. These proto-brightest cluster galaxy (proto-BCG) candidates are drawn from 179 overdense…
Kinematically Coherent Multiphase Galactic Winds in Star-Forming Galaxies Revealed by Unified Radiative Transfer Modeling of UV Emission and Absorption Lines
Zhihui Li, Timothy Heckman, Max Gronke +8
We present PEACOCK, a three-dimensional Monte Carlo radiative transfer (RT) framework designed to self-consistently model rest-frame ultraviolet emission and absorption lines arisi…
Spectroscopically Identified Emission Line Galaxy Pairs in the WISP survey
Y. Sophia Dai, Matthew M. Malkan, Harry I. Teplitz +20
We identify a sample of spectroscopically measured emission line galaxy (ELG) pairs up to z=1.6 from the WFC3 Infrared Spectroscopic Parallels (WISP) survey. WISP obtained slitless…
The Faint-End Slope of the Redshift 5.7 Lyman Alpha Luminosity Function
Alaina Henry, Crystal Martin, Alan Dressler +2
Using new Keck DEIMOS spectroscopy, we examine the origin of the steep number counts of ultra-faint emission-line galaxies recently reported by Dressler et al. (2011). We confirm s…
The Metal Content of Dwarf Starburst Winds: Results from Chandra Observations of NGC 1569
Crystal Martin, Henry Kobulnicky, Timothy Heckman
(Abridged) We present deep, Chandra spectral imaging of the dwarf starburst galaxy NGC 1569. The unprecedented spatial resolution allows us to spatially identify the components of…
