CLASSY XIII. Cutting through the Clouds - Comparing Indirect Tracers of Ionizing Photon Escape
Kaelee S. Parker, Danielle A. Berg, John Chisholm +25
The Epoch of Reionization (EoR) provides critical insights into the role of early galaxies in shaping the ionization state of the universe. However, because of the opacity of the i…
Spatially Resolving the Fundamental Elements of Reionization in Galaxies
Xinfeng Xu, Stephan McCandliss, Allison Strom +10
Cosmic reionization marks a critical epoch when the first galaxies ionized the intergalactic medium through the escape of Lyman continuum (LyC) radiation. Young, massive star clust…
Identifying the contributors to cosmic reionization with the Habitable World Observatory: LyC escape calibration in faint galaxies
Annalisa Citro, Cody. A. Carr, Yumi Choi +9
Investigating how small-scale physical processes shape large-scale astrophysical phenomena is one of the key science themes of the Astro2020 decadal Survey. An example of this inte…
CLASSY XII: Nitrogen Enrichment Shaped by Gas Density and Feedback
Karla Z. Arellano-Córdova, Danielle A. Berg, Matilde Mingozzi +25
We investigate the chemical evolution of N/O using a sample of 45 local star-forming galaxies (SFGs) from the CLASSY survey. This sample spans a wide range of galaxy properties, wi…
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…
