Investigating ionising sources and the complex interstellar medium of GHZ2 at
M. Castellano, L. Napolitano, B. Moreschini +27
An accurate characterisation of the physical properties of galaxies at cosmic dawn is key to understanding the origin of the high abundance of UV-bright galaxies at z10. W…
Near-infrared emission line diagnostics for AGN from the local Universe to redshift 3
Antonello Calabrò, Laura Pentericci, Anna Feltre +35
Optical rest-frame spectroscopic diagnostics are usually employed to distinguish between star formation and AGN-powered emission. However, this method is biased against dusty sourc…
Ly visibility from z = 4.5 to 11 in the UDS field: Evidence for a high neutral hydrogen fraction and small ionized bubbles at z 7
L. Napolitano, L. Pentericci, M. Dickinson +28
The resonant scattering nature of Ly photons interacting with neutral hydrogen makes Ly emitters (LAEs) robust tracers of the intergalactic neutral hydrogen fraction, and t…
Extreme equivalent width-selected low-mass starbursts at : insights into their role in cosmic reionization
M. Llerena, L. Pentericci, R. AmorÃn +22
We investigate the properties of extreme emission line galaxies (EELGs) at and their role in reionization. Compact, low-mass galaxies with intense optical emission lines ar…
Galaxies in the Epoch of Reionization Are All Bark and No Bite -- Plenty of Ionizing Photons, Low Escape Fractions
Casey Papovich, Justin W. Cole, Weida Hu +27
Early results from JWST suggest that epoch-of-reionization (EoR) galaxies produce copious ionizing photons, which, if they escape efficiently, could cause reionization to occur too…
Nitrogen abundances in star-forming galaxies 2.2 Gyr after the Big Bang are not elevated
D. Schaerer, Y. I. Izotov, R. Marques-Chaves +22
Using deep medium-resolution JWST rest-optical spectra of a sample of typical star-forming galaxies (Lyman break galaxies and Lyman- emitters) from the LyC22 survey at $z \sim…
