The Cosmic Archipelago is an ensemble of galaxies, strongly lensed by the cluster MACSJ0416, showing extreme physical properties at . We combine JWST/NIRCam with deep VL…
SPURS: Evidence for Clumpy Neutral Envelopes and Ionized IGM Surrounding Little Red Dots in Abell 2744 from Ultra-Deep Rest-UV Spectroscopy
Mengtao Tang, Daniel P. Stark, Charlotte A. Mason +14
Rest-frame ultraviolet (UV) spectra of Little Red Dots (LRDs) often show Ly emission. Along with broad Balmer emission, LRDs are expected to produce broad Ly emission. Howeve…
The MUSE Ultra Deep Field (MUDF) VIII. The cool gas distribution surrounding galaxies at redshifts z ~ 0.5-2
Edoardo Santo, Michele Fumagalli, Seok-Jun Chang +5
We use deep MUSE data from the MUDF survey to investigate the cool gas around galaxies at redshifts 0.5 < z < 2. We constructed two samples: one sample for a down-the-barrel analys…
