Supernovae Driven Winds Impede Lyman Continuum Escape from Dwarf Galaxies in First 10 Myr
Cody Carr, Renyue Cen, Stephan McCandliss +25
Observations suggest that UV-bright, compact star-forming galaxies produce enough ionizing (Lyman continuum; LyC) photons to reionize the Universe. Yet, the efficiency of LyC escap…
Building a Roadmap for Hubble science into the 2030s: Crucial UV spectroscopy of Oe stars in nearby galaxies
A. Wofford, D. Pauli, A. A. C. Sander +12
Hubble's unique COS G130M+G160M and STIS E140M UV spectral capabilities are essential for characterizing and understanding fundamental properties of main-sequence O-type emission-l…
Extending Hubble into the 2030s to Resolve the Physics of LyC Escape
Cody Carr, Stephan McCandliss, Michelle Berg +6
Current observations with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) suggest that star-forming galaxies produce enough ionizing (LyC; nm) photons to drive cosmic reionization…
Cold molecular gas distribution and kinematics in the low-metallicity dusty starburst of Mrk 996 resolved with ALMA
R. Slater, R. AmorÃn, J. A. Fernández-Ontiveros +10
Detecting cold molecular gas in metal-poor starbursts remains a major challenge. Low carbon and oxygen abundances hinder CO formation, while low dust content reduces shielding agai…
The Lyman-alpha and Continuum Origins Survey II: the connection between the escape of ionizing radiation and Lyman-alpha halos in star-forming galaxies
A. Saldana-Lopez, M. J. Hayes, A. Le Reste +24
One of the current challenges in galaxy evolution studies is to establish the mechanisms that govern the escape of ionizing radiation from galaxies. Here, we investigate the connec…
The Ly and Continuum Origins Survey. III. Investigating the Link between Galaxy Morphology, Merger Properties and LyC Escape
Alexandra Le Reste, Anne E. Jaskot, Jordanne Brazie +20
Characterizing the mechanisms and galaxy properties conducive to the emission and escape of ionizing (LyC) emission is necessary to accurately model the Epoch of Reionization, and…
