Reionization with star-forming galaxies: insights from the Low-z Lyman Continuum Survey
Maxime Trebitsch, Pratika Dayal, John Chisholm +18
The fraction of ionizing photons escaping from galaxies, , is at the same time a crucial parameter in modelling reionization and a very poorly known quantity, especially a…
The Far-Ultraviolet Continuum Slope as a Lyman Continuum Escape Estimator at High-redshift
J. Chisholm, A. Saldana-Lopez, S. Flury +25
Most of the hydrogen in the intergalactic medium (IGM) was rapidly ionized at high-redshifts. While observations have established that reionization occurred, observational constrai…
Lyman alpha and Lyman continuum emission of MgII-selected star-forming galaxies
Y. I. Izotov, J. Chisholm, G. Worseck +3
We present observations with the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph onboard the Hubble Space Telescope of seven compact low-mass star-forming galaxies at redshifts, z,in the range 0.3161-…
The X-shooter/ALMA Sample of Quasars in the Epoch of Reionization. II. Black Hole Masses, Eddington Ratios, and the Formation of the First Quasars
Emanuele Paolo Farina, Jan-Torge Schindler, Fabian Walter +20
We present measurements of black hole masses and Eddington ratios for a sample of 38 bright (M < -24.4 mag) quasars at 5.8 < z < 7.5, derived from VLT/X-shooter near-IR sp…
No correlation of the Lyman continuum escape fraction with spectral hardness
R. Marques-Chaves, D. Schaerer, R. O. Amorín +25
The properties that govern the production and escape of hydrogen ionizing photons (Lyman continuum, LyC; with energies >13.6 eV) in star-forming galaxies are still poorly understoo…
Tracing Lyman-alpha and Lyman Continuum Escape in Galaxies with Mg II Emission
Xinfeng Xu, Alaina Henry, Timothy Heckman +29
Star-forming galaxies are considered the likeliest source of the H I ionizing Lyman Continuum (LyC) photons that reionized the intergalactic medium at high redshifts. However, abov…
The Low-Redshift Lyman Continuum Survey II: New Insights into LyC Diagnostics
Sophia R. Flury, Anne E. Jaskot, Harry C. Ferguson +44
The Lyman continuum (LyC) cannot be observed at the epoch of reionization (z {\gtrsim} 6) due to intergalactic H I absorption. To identify Lyman continuum emitters (LCEs) and infer…
Strong Lyman continuum emitting galaxies show intense CIV 1550 emission
D. Schaerer, Y. I. Izotov, G. Worseck +7
Using the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph, we have obtained ultraviolet (UV) spectra from to 2000 Å of known Lyman continuum (LyC) emitting galaxies at low redshif…
The Low-Redshift Lyman Continuum Survey I: New, Diverse Local Lyman-Continuum Emitters
Sophia R. Flury, Anne E. Jaskot, Harry C. Ferguson +44
The origins of Lyman continuum (LyC) photons responsible for the reionization of the universe are as of yet unknown and highly contested. Detecting LyC photons from the epoch of re…
The Low-Redshift Lyman Continuum Survey. Unveiling the ISM properties of low- Lyman continuum emitters
Alberto Saldana-Lopez, Daniel Schaerer, John Chisholm +24
Combining 66 ultraviolet (UV) spectra and ancillary data from the Low-Redshift Lyman Continuum Survey (LzLCS) and 23 LyC observations by earlier studies, we form a statistical samp…
