The Lyman Continuum Escape and ISM properties in Tololo 1247-232 - New Insights from HST and VLA

Johannes Puschnig, Matthew Hayes, Göran Östlin +7

Low- and intermediate mass galaxies are widely discussed as cause of reionization at redshift . However, observational proof of galaxies that are leaking ionizing radiat…

Lyman continuum leaking galaxies - Search strategies and local candidates

Nils Bergvall, Elisabet Leitet, Erik Zackrisson +1

Star-forming dwarf galaxies leaking Lyman-continuum (LyC) radiation may have played an important role in the reionization of the Universe. Local galaxies exhibiting LyC leakage cou…

Escape of Lyman continuum radiation from local galaxies - Detection of leakage from the young starburst Tol 1247-232

Elisabet Leitet, Nils Bergvall, Matthew Hayes +2

The escape fraction of hydrogen ionizing photons (f_esc) from galaxies has been suggested to be evolving with time, but the picture is far from clear. While evidence for significan…

GRB 090417B and its Host Galaxy: A Step Towards an Understanding of Optically-Dark Gamma-Ray Bursts

Stephen T. Holland, Boris Sbarufatti, Rongfeng Shen +10

GRB 090417B was an unusually long burst with a T_90 duration of at least 2130 s and a multi-peaked light curve at energies of 15-150 keV. It was optically dark and has been associa…

Early spectroscopic identification of SN 2008D

D. Malesani, J. P. U. Fynbo, J. Hjorth +27

SN 2008D was discovered while following up an unusually bright X-ray transient in the nearby spiral galaxy NGC 2770. We present early optical spectra (obtained 1.75 days after the…

The impact of nebular emission on the broadband fluxes of high-redshift galaxies

E. Zackrisson, N. Bergvall, E. Leitet

A substantial fraction of the light emitted from young or star-forming galaxies at ultraviolet to near-infrared wavelengths comes from the ionized interstellar medium in the form o…
