RELICS: Strong Lensing Analysis of MACS J0417.5-1154 and Predictions for Observing the Magnified High-Redshift Universe with JWST
Guillaume Mahler, Keren Sharon, Carter Fox +37
Strong gravitational lensing by clusters of galaxies probes the mass distribution at the core of each cluster and magnifies the universe behind it. MACS J0417.5-1154 at z=0.443 is…
RELICS: High-Resolution Constraints on the Inner Mass Distribution of the z=0.83 Merging Cluster RXJ0152.7-1357 from strong lensing
Ana Acebron, May Alon, Adi Zitrin +37
Strong gravitational lensing (SL) is a powerful means to map the distribution of dark matter. In this work, we perform a SL analysis of the prominent X-ray cluster RXJ0152.7-1357 (…
MMT/MMIRS spectroscopy of extreme [OIII] emitters: Implications for galaxies in the reionization-era
Mengtao Tang, Daniel Stark, Jacopo Chevallard +1
Galaxies in the reionization-era have been shown to have prominent [OIII]+H emission. Little is known about the gas conditions and radiation field of this population, making it…
The Lyman Continuum Escape Survey: Ionizing Radiation from [O III]-Strong Sources at a Redshift of 3.1
Thomas J. Fletcher, Mengtao Tang, Brant E. Robertson +4
We present results from the LymAn Continuum Escape Survey (LACES), a Hubble Space Telescope (HST) program designed to characterize the ionizing radiation emerging from a sample of…
Photometric identification and MMT spectroscopy of new extremely metal-poor galaxies: towards a better understanding of young stellar populations at low metallicity
Peter Senchyna, Daniel P. Stark
Extremely metal-poor star-forming galaxies (XMPs) represent one of our only laboratories for study of the low-metallicity stars we expect to encounter at early epochs. But as our u…
RELICS: Strong-lensing analysis of the massive clusters MACS J0308.9+2645 and PLCK G171.9-40.7
Ana Acebron, Nathália Cibirka, Adi Zitrin +37
Strong gravitational lensing by galaxy clusters has become a powerful tool for probing the high-redshift Universe, magnifying distant and faint background galaxies. Reliable strong…
RELICS: A Strong Lens Model for SPT-CLJ0615-5746, a z=0.972 Cluster
Rachel Paterno-Mahler, Keren Sharon, Dan Coe +30
We present a lens model for the cluster SPT-CLJ06155746, which is the highest redshift () system in the Reionization of Lensing Clusters Survey (RELICS), making it the…
Dust in the Wind: Composition and Kinematics of Galaxy Outflows at the Peak Epoch of Star Formation
Tucker Jones, Daniel P. Stark, Richard S. Ellis
Galactic-scale outflows regulate the stellar mass growth and chemical enrichment of galaxies, yet key outflow properties such as the chemical composition and mass loss rate remain…
The redshift evolution of rest-UV spectroscopic properties in Lyman Break Galaxies at z ~ 2-4
Xinnan Du, Alice E. Shapley, Naveen A. Reddy +8
We present the first comprehensive evolutionary analysis of the rest-frame UV spectroscopic properties of star-forming galaxies at z ~ 2-4. We match samples at different redshifts…
Spectroscopic Constraints on UV Metal Line Emission at z~6-9: The Nature of Lyman-alpha Emitting Galaxies in the Reionization-Era
Ramesh Mainali, Adi Zitrin, Daniel P. Stark +6
Recent studies have revealed intense UV metal emission lines in a modest sample of z>7 Lyman-alpha emitters, indicating a hard ionizing spectrum is present. If such high ionization…
The VANDELS ESO public spectroscopic survey: observations and first data release
L. Pentericci, R. J. McLure B. Garilli, O. Cucciati +93
This paper describes the observations and the first data release (DR1) of the ESO public spectroscopic survey "VANDELS, a deep VIMOS survey of the CANDELS CDFS and UDS fields". VAN…
RELICS: Strong Lensing analysis of the galaxy clusters Abell S295, Abell 697, MACS J0025.4-1222, and MACS J0159.8-0849
Nathália Cibirka, Ana Acebron, Adi Zitrin +37
We present a strong-lensing analysis of four massive galaxy clusters imaged with the Hubble Space Telescope in the Reionization Lensing Cluster Survey. We use a Light-Traces-Mass t…
The VANDELS ESO public spectroscopic survey
R. J. McLure, L. Pentericci, A. Cimatti +92
VANDELS is a uniquely-deep spectroscopic survey of high-redshift galaxies with the VIMOS spectrograph on ESO's Very Large Telescope (VLT). The survey has obtained ultra-deep optica…
The Role of Galaxies and AGN in Reionising the IGM - I: Keck Spectroscopy of 5 < z < 7 Galaxies in the QSO Field J1148+5251
Koki Kakiichi, Richard S. Ellis, Nicolas Laporte +7
We introduce a new method for determining the influence of galaxies and active galactic nuclei (AGN) on the physical state of the intergalactic medium (IGM) at high redshift and il…
The JWST Extragalactic Mock Catalog: Modeling galaxy populations from the UV through the near-IR over thirteen billion years of cosmic history
Christina C. Williams, Emma Curtis-Lake, Kevin N. Hainline +24

A Candidate Galaxy Strongly Lensed into a Spatially Resolved Arc
Brett Salmon, Dan Coe, Larry Bradley +27
The most distant galaxies known are at z~10-11, observed 400-500 Myr after the Big Bang. The few z~10-11 candidates discovered to date have been exceptionally small- barely resolve…
