Spatially Resolved Nebular-Stellar Reddening with JWST/NIRISS

Peter J. Watson, Benedetta Vulcani, Tommaso Treu +7

An accurate determination of the dust attenuation within galaxies is essential to derive key physical properties such as the star formation rate (SFR). We present an analysis using…

Revealing Cosmic Ecosystems with the Hubble Space Telescope in 2030s and Beyond

Sanchayeeta Borthakur, Tanmay Singh, David French +22

Ultraviolet spectroscopy with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) provides the most direct and sensitive probe of the disk-circumgalactic medium (CGM) interface at radii of 20 kpc, wh…

Astronomical Advantages of a Boost Mission to Facilitate HST Science into the 2030s: Imaging the Circumgalactic Medium of Galaxies

Matthew J. Hayes, Kate H. R. Rubin, Michelle A. Berg +20

We present the case for imaging ultraviolet line emission from highly ionized metals and HI Lya in the circumgalactic medium of galaxies, should the Hubble Space Telescope receive…

Extending Hubble into the 2030s to Resolve the Physics of LyC Escape

Cody Carr, Stephan McCandliss, Michelle Berg +6

Current observations with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) suggest that star-forming galaxies produce enough ionizing (LyC; nm) photons to drive cosmic reionization,…

Witnessing the Earliest Phases of Galactic Wind Formation in Superluminous Supernova Hosts: Implications for Star-formation-driven Outflows in Low- and High-redshift Galaxies

A. Saldana-Lopez, A. Gkini, M. J. Hayes +6

Direct observational constraints on the earliest phases of galactic outflows remain scarce. We present Very Large Telescope/X-shooter spectroscopy of seven Type I superluminous sup…

JWST Reveals Two Overmassive Black Hole Candidates in Dwarf Galaxies at z 0.7: Pushing Black Hole Searches into the Dwarf-Galaxy Regime

E. Iani, P. Rinaldi, A. Torralba +35

We report the discovery and characterization of two compact galaxies, Pelias and Neleus, at z ~ 0.71 and z ~ 0.75, identified in MACS J0416.1-2403 and GOODS-North. Both exhibit unu…

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…

Modeling Emission-Line Surface Brightness in a Multiphase Galactic Wind: An O VI Case Study

Zirui Chen, Zixuan Peng, Kate H. R. Rubin +6

We present a fast and robust analytic framework for predicting surface brightness (SB) of emission lines in galactic winds as a function of radius up to kpc out in the c…

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 II: the connection between the escape of ionizing radiation and Lyman-alpha halos in star-forming galaxies

A. Saldana-Lopez, M. J. Hayes, A. Le Reste +24

One of the current challenges in galaxy evolution studies is to establish the mechanisms that govern the escape of ionizing radiation from galaxies. Here, we investigate the connec…

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…

The Lyman Alpha Reference Sample. XVI. Global 21cm HI properties of Lyman- emitting galaxies

A. Le Reste, M. J. Hayes, J. M. Cannon +9

The Lyman- (Lya) line of hydrogen is a well-known tracer of galaxies at high-z. However, the connection between Lya observables and galaxy properties has not fully been establis…
