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…
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…
Power-law Emission-line Wings and Radiation-Driven Superwinds in Local Lyman Continuum Emitters
Lena Komarova, Sally Oey, Rui Marques-Chaves +27
We investigate broad emission-line wings, reaching , observed in 26 galaxies with Lyman continuum (LyC) observations, primarily from the Low-redshift Lyman C…
The Lyman-alpha and Continuum Origins Survey. I. Survey description and Ly imaging
Alexandra Le Reste, Claudia Scarlata, Matthew Hayes +25
Understanding the mechanisms driving the escape of ionizing or Lyman continuum (LyC) emission from the interstellar medium of galaxies is necessary to constrain the evolution of re…
