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…
