Predicted Capabilities of the SPRITE SmallSat for a Low-Redshift Lyman Continuum Emission Survey
Yi Hang Valerie Wong, Brian Fleming, Elena Carlson +13
Ionizing Lyman continuum (LyC; ) radiation from low-redshift () galaxies provides crucial insight into the processes that contributed to cosm…
Inflight performance and future improvements for the INtegral Field Ultraviolet Spectrographic Experiment, the first far ultraviolet integral field spectrograph
Alex Haughton, Emily M. Witt, Brian T. Fleming +9
Integral field spectroscopy allows for spectral mapping of extended sources in a time efficient manner. An integral field unit (IFU) in the ultraviolet on Habitable Worlds Observat…
Resolving the Origins and Pathways of Ionizing Radiation Escape with UV Integral Field Spectroscopy
Cody Carr, Renyue Cen, Brian Fleming +4
The Epoch of Reionization marks the last major phase transition in the early Universe, during which the majority of neutral hydrogen once filling the intergalactic medium was ioniz…
Push-broom Mapping of Galaxies and Supernova Remnants with the SPRITE CubeSat
Elena Carlson, Brian Fleming, Yi Hang Valerie Wong +12
Supernovae (SNe) enrich and energize the surrounding interstellar medium (ISM) and are a key mechanism in the galaxy feedback cycle. The heating of the ISM by supernova shocks, 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…
