Resonantly Scattered CIV Emission in Local Star-forming Galaxies: Radiative Transfer Constraints on High-ionization Gas in Reionization Analogs
Zhihui Li, Danielle A. Berg, Simon Gazagnes +4
Rest-frame ultraviolet emission lines are diagnostics of hard ionizing spectra and highly ionized gas in galaxies resembling the sources of cosmic reionization. Nebular CIV emissio…
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…
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…
BLUEPRINT: Blue-dominant Lyman- emission as evidence of gas inflow in ultra-low-mass galaxies at z = 3
Tamal Mukherjee, Zhihui Li, Tayyaba Zafar +4
We report the detection of a clumpy, blue-dominated Ly emission at z = 3.066 located in the heart of a cosmic web filament in the MUSE eXtremely Deep Field (MXDF), spatially ass…
Synergistic Radiative Transfer Modeling of MgII and Lyα Emission in Multiphase, Clumpy Galactic Environments: Application to Low-Redshift Lyman Continuum Leakers
Zhihui Li, Max Gronke, Timothy Heckman +9
We conducted systematic radiative transfer (RT) modeling of the Mg II doublet line profiles for 33 low-redshift Lyman continuum (LyC) leakers, and Ly modeling for a subset of si…
Gas Accretion Traced by Blue-Dominated Ly Emission and Redshifted UV Absorption Lines in Protocluster Galaxies at z = 2.3 from the KBSS-KCWI Survey
Claire Bolda, Zhihui Li, Dawn K. Erb +2
Ly emission with a dominant blueshifted peak can probe gas flowing through the circumgalactic medium as it accretes onto galaxies and fuels new star formation, although it has s…
ALPACA: A New Semi-Analytic Model for Metal Absorption Lines Emerging from Clumpy Galactic Environments
Zhihui Li, Max Gronke, Charles Steidel
We present a new semi-analytic formalism for modeling metal absorption lines that emerge from a clumpy galactic environment, ALPACA. We predict the ''down-the-barrel'' (DTB) metal…
The Circumgalactic Medium of Extreme Emission Line Galaxies at z ~ 2: Resolved Spectroscopy and Radiative Transfer Modeling of Spatially Extended Lyman-alpha Emission in the KBSS-KCWI Survey
Dawn K. Erb, Zhihui Li, Charles C. Steidel +5
The resonantly scattered Lyman- line illuminates the extended halos of neutral hydrogen in the circumgalactic medium of galaxies. We present integral field Keck Cosmic Web Image…
Deciphering the Lyman- Emission Line: Towards the Understanding of Galactic Properties Extracted from Ly Spectra via Radiative Transfer Modeling
Zhihui Li, Max Gronke
Existing ubiquitously in the Universe with the highest luminosity, the Lyman- emission line encodes abundant physical information about the gaseous medium it interacts with. Nev…
Where Outflows Meet Inflows: Gas Kinematics in SSA22 Lyman- Blob 2 Decoded by Advanced Radiative Transfer Modelling
Zhihui Li, Charles C. Steidel, Max Gronke +2
We present new spectroscopic observations of Lyman- (Ly) Blob 2 ( 3.1). We observed extended Ly emission in three distinct regions, where the highest Ly surface…
The KBSS-KCWI Survey: The connection between extended Ly halos and galaxy azimuthal angle at
Yuguang Chen, Charles C. Steidel, Dawn K. Erb +9
We present the first statistical analysis of kinematically-resolved, spatially-extended Ly emission around galaxies in the Keck Baryonic Structure Survey (KBSS) using…
