Comparing the VANDELS sample to a zoom-in Radiative Hydrodynamical Simulation: using the Si II and C II line spectra as tracers of galaxy evolution and Lyman Continuum leakage

Simon Gazagnes, Fergus Cullen, Valentin Mauerhofer +8

We compare mock ultraviolet C II and Si II absorption and emission line features generated using a ~10${}^9$ $M_{\odot }$ virtual galaxy with observations of 131 $z3$ galaxies from the…
