Possible chemical signatures of first-star enrichment in a very metal-poor galaxy overdensity near the end of reionization
Zihao Li, Koki Kakiichi, Lise Christensen +24
The first generation of stars, known as Population III (Pop III), formed from primordial gas consisting solely of hydrogen and helium and is believed to have emerged only a few hun…
Constraining the nature of active galactic nuclei through circumgalactic Lya emission at z=2-3
Shiwu Zhang, Zheng Cai, Fabrizio Arrigoni Battaia +8
We present a comprehensive analysis of circumgalactic Lya nebulae around 59 unobscured and 26 obscured quasars at z=2-3, observed with the Keck Cosmic Web Imager (KCWI), to constra…
A dual AGN at z = 5.4 associated with a Lyman-alpha Nebula in the Center of a Cosmic Filament
Qiong Li, Christopher J. Conselice, Qiao Duan +9
Predictions from current theories and simulations suggest that dual AGN systems are exceedingly rare at high redshifts. The intense radiation and powerful outflows from AGNs regula…
AGNs in the extremely overdense galaxy region BOSS 1441: A Chandra observation
Jiahua Wu, Liming Dou, Zheng Cai +6
We present a Chandra/ACIS-I study of X-ray sources in BOSS 1441, a protocluster at that exhibits a prominent overdensity of Ly emitters (LAEs). Using a 45 ks ob…
A 13-Billion-Year View of Galaxy Growth: Metallicity Gradient Evolution from the Local Universe to with JWST and Archival Surveys
Zihao Li, Zheng Cai, Xin Wang +25
The galaxy gas-phase metallicity gradients have been extensively studied over the past four decades, both in the local and high-redshift universe, as they trace the baryon cycle an…
Testing the AGN unified model with simulated emission lines from the circumgalactic medium (CGM)
Shiwu Zhang, Zheng Cai, Aura Obreja +5
The CGM around unobscured AGN has received much attention in recent years. Comparatively, nebulae associated with obscured AGN are less studied. Here, we simulate the Ly, H…
