Mass-metallicity relation from z=5 to the present: Evidence for a transition in the mode of galaxy growth at z=2.6 due to the end of sustained primordial gas infall
P. Moller, J. P. U. Fynbo, C. Ledoux +1
We analyze the redshift evolution of the mass-metallicity relation in a sample of 110 Damped Ly absorbers spanning the redshift range and find that the zero-point…
UltraVISTA: a new ultra-deep near-infrared survey in COSMOS
H. J. McCracken, B. Milvang-Jensen, J. Dunlop +18
In this paper we describe the first data release of the UltraVISTA near-infrared imaging survey of the COSMOS field. We summarise the key goals and design of the survey and provide…
A Lyα blob and zabs {\approx} zem damped Lyα absorber in the dark matter halo of the binary quasar Q 0151+048
Tayyaba Zafar, Palle Møller, Cédric Ledoux +7
Q0151+048 is a physical QSO pair at z ~ 1.929 with a separation of 3.3 arcsec on the sky. In the spectrum of Q0151+048A (qA), a DLA is observed at a higher redshift. We have previo…
Sizing up Lyman-alpha and Lyman Break Galaxies
Sangeeta Malhotra, James E. Rhoads, Steven L. Finkelstein +4
We show that populations of high redshift galaxies grow more luminous as they grow in linear size. This is because the brightness per unit area has a distinct upper limit due to th…
X-ray Constraints on the Lyman-Alpha Escape Fraction
Zhen-Ya Zheng, Sangeeta Malhotra, Jun-Xian Wang +7
We have coadded X-ray flux of all known Lyman Alpha Emitters (LAEs) in the 4 Msec Chandra Deep Field South (CDF-S) region, to place sensitive upper limits on the average unobscured…
Evolution of the observed Ly-alpha luminosity function from z = 6.5 to z = 7.7: evidence for the epoch of reionization ?
B. Clément, J. -G. Cuby, F. Courbin +17
Aims. Ly-alpha emitters (LAEs) can be detected out to very high redshifts during the epoch of reionization. The evolution of the LAE luminosity function with redshift is a direct p…
The Hubble Legacy Archive ACS Grism Data
M. Kuemmel, P. Rosati, R. Fosbury +8
A public release of slitless spectra, obtained with ACS/WFC and the G800L grism, is presented. Spectra were automatically extracted in a uniform way from 153 archival fields (or "a…
Lyman-alpha emitters as tracers of the transitioning Universe
Kim K. Nilsson, Palle Møller
Of the many ways of detecting high redshift galaxies, the selection of objects due to their redshifted Ly-alpha emission has become one of the most successful. But what types of ga…
Stellar properties of z ~ 1 Lyman-break galaxies from ACS slitless grism spectra
Kim K. Nilsson, Ole Möller-Nilsson, Piero Rosati +5
Lyman-break galaxies are now regularly found in the high redshift Universe by searching for the break in the galaxy spectrum caused by the Lyman-limit redshifted into the optical o…
Ly-alpha emitters: blue dwarfs or supermassive ULIRGs? Evidence for a transition with redshift
Kim K. Nilsson, Palle Moeller
The traditional view that Ly-alpha emission and dust should be mutually exclusive has been questioned more and more often; most notably, the observations of Ly-alpha emission from…
Understanding Lyman-alpha emitters
Kim K. Nilsson, Klaus Meisenheimer, Nicholas Bond +5
This publication contains the conference summary of the Understanding Lyman-alpha Emitters conference held at the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy in Heidelberg October 6 - 10, 2…
