CLASSY XIII. Cutting through the Clouds - Comparing Indirect Tracers of Ionizing Photon Escape
Kaelee S. Parker, Danielle A. Berg, John Chisholm +25
The Epoch of Reionization (EoR) provides critical insights into the role of early galaxies in shaping the ionization state of the universe. However, because of the opacity of the i…
CLASSY XII: Nitrogen Enrichment Shaped by Gas Density and Feedback
Karla Z. Arellano-Córdova, Danielle A. Berg, Matilde Mingozzi +25
We investigate the chemical evolution of N/O using a sample of 45 local star-forming galaxies (SFGs) from the CLASSY survey. This sample spans a wide range of galaxy properties, wi…
Lyman Continuum leakage from massive leaky starbursts: A different class of emitters?
Namrata Roy, Timothy Heckman, Alaina Henry +11
The origin of Lyman Continuum (LyC) photons responsible for reionizing the universe remains a mystery, with the fraction of escaping LyC photons from galaxies at z 6 to 12 be…
Intergalactic Medium Tomography with the Sunburst Arc
Michelle A. Berg, John Chisholm, J. Xavier Prochaska +9
Gravitational lensing has transformed the field of gas tomography in the intergalactic medium (IGM) and circumgalactic medium (CGM). Here we use the brightest lensed galaxy identif…
pySTARBURST99: The Next Generation of STARBURST99
Calum Hawcroft, Claus Leitherer, Oskar Arangure +8
STARBURST99 is a population synthesis code tailored to predict the integrated properties or observational characteristics of star-forming galaxies. Here we present an update to STA…
Exploring the mysterious high-ionization source powering [Ne V] in high-z analog SBS0335-052 E with JWST/MIRI
Matilde Mingozzi, Macarena Garcia Del Valle-Espinosa, Bethan L. James +19
Nearby blue compact dwarf galaxies (BCDs) share similar properties with objects from the Epoch of Reionization revealed by JWST, in terms of low stellar mass, low metallicity and h…
