High Resolution Observations of HI in the IC 63 Reflection Nebula

L. Bonne, B-G Andersson, R. Minchin +7

Photodissociation regions (PDRs), where the (far-)ultraviolet light from hot young stars interact with the gas in surrounding molecular clouds, provide laboratories for understandi…

A Deep Hubble and Keck Search for Definitive Identification of Lyman Continuum Emitters at z~3.1

Brian Siana, Alice E. Shapley, Kristin R. Kulas +13

Narrow-band imaging of the rest-frame Lyman continuum (LyC) of galaxies at z~3.1 has produced a large number of candidate LyC-emitting galaxies. These samples are contaminated by g…

The Ly-alpha Properties of Faint Galaxies at z2-3 with Systemic Redshifts and Velocity Dispersions from Keck-MOSFIRE

Dawn K. Erb, Charles C. Steidel, Ryan F. Trainor +13

We study the Lya profiles of 36 spectroscopically-detected Lya-emitters (LAEs) at z2-3, using Keck MOSFIRE to measure systemic redshifts and velocity dispersions from rest-frame op…

Evolved stars with complex atmospheres - the high spectral resolution, mid-IR view

N. Ryde, J. Lambert, M. J. Richter +12

The physical structures of the outer atmospheres of red giants are not known. They are certainly complex and a range of recent observations are showing that we need to embrace to n…

Strong Nebular Line Ratios in the Spectra of z~2-3 Star-forming Galaxies: First Results from KBSS-MOSFIRE

C. C. Steidel, G. C. Rudie, A. L. Strom +11

We present initial results of a deep near-IR spectroscopic survey covering the 15 fields of the Keck Baryonic Structure Survey (KBSS) using MOSFIRE on the Keck 1 telescope, focusin…

The Exemplar T8 Subdwarf Companion of Wolf 1130

Gregory N. Mace, J. Davy Kirkpatrick, Michael C. Cushing +8

We have discovered a wide separation (188.5") T8 subdwarf companion to the sdM1.5+WD binary Wolf 1130. Companionship of WISE J200520.38+542433.9 is verified through common proper m…

The Mass-Metallicity Relation Of A Z~2 Protocluster With MOSFIRE

Kristin R. Kulas, Ian S. McLean, Alice E. Shapley +7

We present Keck/MOSFIRE observations of the role of environment in the formation of galaxies at z~2. Using K-band spectroscopy of H-alpha and [N II] emission lines, we have analyze…

Performance of the HgCdTe Detector for MOSFIRE, an Imager and Multi-Object Spectrometer for Keck Observatory

Kristin R. Kulas, Ian S. McLean, Charles C. Steidel

MOSFIRE is a new multi-object near-infrared spectrometer for the Keck 1 telescope with a spectral resolving power of R 3500 for a 0.7" slit (2.9 pixels). The detector is a substrat…

The Kinematics of Multiple-Peaked Ly-alpha Emission in Star-Forming Galaxies at z~2-3

Kristin R. Kulas, Alice E. Shapley, Juna A. Kollmeier +3

We present new results on the Ly-alpha emission-line kinematics of 18 z~2-3 star-forming galaxies with multiple-peaked Ly-alpha profiles. With our large spectroscopic database of U…
