The HiZELS/UKIRT large area survey for bright Lyman-alpha emitters at z~9

David Sobral, Philip Best, Jim Geach +7

We present the largest area survey to date (1.4 deg2) for Lyman-alpha emitters (LAEs) at z~9, as part of the Hi-z Emission Line Survey (HiZELS). The survey, which primarily targets…

The Properties of the Star-Forming Interstellar Medium at z=0.8-2.2 from HiZELS - II: Star-Formation and Clump Scaling Laws in Gas Rich, Turbulent Disks

Mark Swinbank, Ian Smail, David Sobral +3

We present adaptive optics assisted integral field spectroscopy of nine Halpha-selected galaxies at z=0.84--2.23 selected from the HiZELS narrow-band survey. Our observations map t…

HiZELS: the High Redshift Emission Line Survey with UKIRT

Philip Best, Ian Smail, David Sobral +7

In these proceedings we report on HiZELS, the High-z Emission Line Survey, our successful panoramic narrow-band Campaign Survey using WFCAM on UKIRT to detect and study emission li…

From fields to a super-cluster: the role of the environment at z=0.84 with HiZELS

David Sobral, Philip Best, Ian Smail +2

At z=0, clusters are primarily populated by red, elliptical and massive galaxies, while blue, spiral and lower-mass galaxies are common in low-density environments. Understanding h…

The Properties of the Star-Forming Interstellar Medium at z=0.84-2.23 from HiZELS - I: Mapping the Internal Dynamics and Metallicity Gradients in High-Redshift Disk Galaxies

Mark Swinbank, David Sobral, Ian Smail +5

We present adaptive optics assisted, spatially resolved spectroscopy of a sample of nine H-alpha-selected galaxies at z=0.84--2.23 drawn from the HiZELS narrow-band survey. These g…
