Inferred Hα Flux as a Star-Formation Rate Indicator at z ~ 4-5: Implications for Dust Properties, Burstiness, and the z = 4-8 Star-Formation-Rate Functions

Renske Smit, Rychard J. Bouwens, Ivo Labbé +3

We derive Hα fluxes for a large spectroscopic and photometric-redshift-selected sample of sources over GOODS-North and South in the redshift range z = 3.8-5.0 with deep HST, Spitze…

The Lyman-Continuum Photon Production Efficiency xi_{ion} of z~4-5 Galaxies from IRAC-based Halpha Measurements: Implications for the Escape Fraction and Cosmic Reionization

R. J. Bouwens, R. Smit, I. Labbe +5

Galaxies represent one of the preferred candidate sources to drive the reionization of the universe. Even as gains are made in mapping the galaxy UV luminosity density to z>6, sign…

Mean Halpha+[NII]+[SII] EW Inferred for Star-Forming Galaxies at z=5.1-5.4 Using High-Quality Spitzer/IRAC Photometry

N. Rasappu, R. Smit, I. Labbe +4

Recent Spitzer/InfraRed Array Camera (IRAC) photometric observations have revealed that rest-frame optical emission lines contribute signficantly to the broadband fluxes of high-re…

Lyman-alpha Emission from a Luminous z=8.68 Galaxy: Implications for Galaxies as Tracers of Cosmic Reionization

Adi Zitrin, Ivo Labbe, Sirio Belli +6

We report the discovery of Lyman-alpha emission (Ly) in the bright galaxy EGSY-2008532660 (hereafter EGSY8p7) using the MOSFIRE spectrograph at the Keck Observatory. First repor…

Ultradeep IRAC Imaging Over The HUDF And GOODS-South: Survey Design And Imaging Data Release

I. Labbe, P. A. Oesch, G. D. Illingworth +11

The IRAC ultradeep field (IUDF) and IRAC Legacy over GOODS (IGOODS) programs are two ultradeep imaging surveys at 3.6μm and 4.5μm with the Spitzer Infrared Array Camera (IRAC). The…

The Bright End of the z~9 and z~10 UV Luminosity Functions using all five CANDELS Fields

R. J. Bouwens, P. A. Oesch, I. Labbe +14

The deep, wide-area (~800-900 arcmin**2) near-infrared/WFC3/IR + Spitzer/IRAC observations over the CANDELS fields have been a remarkable resource for constraining the bright end o…

Z > 7 galaxies with red Spitzer/IRAC [3.6]-[4.5] colors in the full CANDELS data set: the brightest-known galaxies at Z ~ 7-9 and a probable spectroscopic confirmation at Z=7.48

G. W. Roberts-Borsani, R. J. Bouwens, P. A. Oesch +9

We identify 4 unusually bright (H < 25.5) galaxies from HST and Spitzer CANDELS data with probable redshifts z ~ 7-9. These identifications include the brightest-known galaxies to…

ALMA maps the Star-Forming Regions in a Dense Gas Disk at z~3

Mark Swinbank, Simon Dye, James Nightgale +14

We exploit long-baseline ALMA sub-mm observations of the lensed star-forming galaxy SDP 81 at z=3.042 to investigate the properties of inter-stellar medium on scales of 50-100pc. T…

The behaviour of dark matter associated with 4 bright cluster galaxies in the 10kpc core of Abell 3827

Richard Massey, Liliya Williams, Renske Smit +20

Galaxy cluster Abell 3827 hosts the stellar remnants of four almost equally bright elliptical galaxies within a core of radius 10kpc. Such corrugation of the stellar distribution i…

Reionization after Planck: The Derived Growth of the Cosmic Ionizing Emissivity now matches the Growth of the Galaxy UV Luminosity Density

R. J. Bouwens, G. D. Illingworth, P. A. Oesch +4

Thomson optical depth tau measurements from Planck provide new insights into the reionization of the universe. In pursuit of model-independent constraints on the properties of the…

A Spectroscopic Redshift Measurement for a Luminous Lyman Break Galaxy at z=7.730 using Keck/MOSFIRE

P. A. Oesch, P. G. van Dokkum, G. D. Illingworth +9

We present a spectroscopic redshift measurement of a very bright Lyman break galaxy at z=7.7302+-0.0006 using Keck/MOSFIRE. The source was pre-selected photometrically in the EGS f…
