Link between the properties of circumgalactic outflows and the recent star formation history of their host galaxies

Ismael Pessa, Lutz Wisotzki, Constanza Muñoz López +8

Galactic outflows play a key role in galaxy evolution, yet their connection to the star formation history of their host galaxies remains poorly constrained. Building on previous wo…

Are High-EW LAEs good analogs for the earliest galaxies? A study on the ionizing conditions and gas properties of LAEs at $2\lesssim z\lesssim7

Lena Pless, Themiya Nanayakkara, Karl Glazebrook +3

Lyman- emitters (LAEs) are frequently proposed as analogs of the low-mass, metal-poor galaxies thought to dominate cosmic reionization. In particular, galaxies with large Ly…

Two domains of extended Lyman-alpha emission around galaxies: from local radiation to environmental regulation

Daria Kozlova, Lutz Wisotzki, John Pharo +7

We examine the relation between extended Ly halos around high-redshift galaxies and the main factors responsible for driving the emission in such halos, in particular at distanc…

CRexit observed: probing cosmic ray transport in the circumgalactic medium with absorption line spectra

Matthias Weber, Timon Thomas, Christoph Pfrommer +1

Cosmic rays (CRs) likely provide dynamically important non-thermal pressure support in the circumgalactic medium (CGM), but how their transport physics shapes observable absorption…

Lyman-alpha haloes in the aftermath of reionisation

Daniil Smirnov, Lutz Wisotzki, Tanya Urrutia +8

We present a comparative study of Ly haloes (LAHs) around low-luminosity (L erg s) Ly-emitting galaxies (LAEs) at very high redshifts…

First statistical constraints on galactic scale outflows properties traced by their extended Mg II emission with MUSE

Ismael Pessa, Lutz Wisotzki, Tanya Urrutia +7

Galaxies evolve within vast gaseous halos that fuel star formation and carry signatures of feedback-driven outflows. Deep integral field data have enabled the study of MgII halos,…

A galactic outflow traced by its extended Mg II emission out to a kpc radius in the Hubble Ultra Deep Field with MUSE

Ismael Pessa, Lutz Wisotzki, Tanya Urrutia +12

We report the discovery of a rare Mg II 2796, 2803 doublet emission halo around a star forming galaxy with /M at in deep (9.…

The Intrinsic Distribution of Lyman- Halos

John Pharo, Lutz Wisotzki, Tanya Urrutia +10

The emission and escape of Lyman- photons from star-forming galaxies is determined through complex interactions between the emitted photons and a galaxy's interstellar and circu…

The Blue Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (BlueMUSE) on the VLT: science drivers and overview of instrument design

Johan Richard, Rémi Giroud, Florence Laurent +47

BlueMUSE is a blue-optimised, medium spectral resolution, panoramic integral field spectrograph under development for the Very Large Telescope (VLT). With an optimised transmission…

The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) Science White Paper

Vincenzo Mainieri, Richard I. Anderson, Jarle Brinchmann +214

The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) is proposed as a new facility dedicated to the efficient delivery of spectroscopic surveys. This white paper summarises the initial con…
