The SPHINX public data release. II. Using low-ionisation absorption lines and dust attenuation to predict Lyman continuum escape
Valentin Mauerhofer, Jérémy Blaizot, Thibault Garel +11
Low-ionisation state (LIS) absorption lines, such as SiII 1526, are widely used to trace the properties of the interstellar medium (ISM) in galaxies. These lines provide crucial in…
The Lyman-alpha and Continuum Origins Survey II: the connection between the escape of ionizing radiation and Lyman-alpha halos in star-forming galaxies
A. Saldana-Lopez, M. J. Hayes, A. Le Reste +24
One of the current challenges in galaxy evolution studies is to establish the mechanisms that govern the escape of ionizing radiation from galaxies. Here, we investigate the connec…
Extended red wings and the visibility of reionization-epoch Lyman- emitters

The MUSE eXtremely Deep Field: Detections of circumgalactic SiII* emission at z>~2
Haruka Kusakabe, Valentin Mauerhofer, Anne Verhamme +17
The circumgalactic medium (CGM) serves as a baryon reservoir that connects galaxies to the intergalactic medium and fuels star formation. The spatial distribution of the metal-enri…
Comparing the VANDELS sample to a zoom-in Radiative Hydrodynamical Simulation: using the Si II and C II line spectra as tracers of galaxy evolution and Lyman Continuum leakage
Simon Gazagnes, Fergus Cullen, Valentin Mauerhofer +8
We compare mock ultraviolet C II and Si II absorption and emission line features generated using a ~10 virtual galaxy with observations of 131 galaxies from the…
The impact of nebular Lyman-Continuum on ionising photons budget and escape fractions from galaxies
C. Simmonds, A. Verhamme, A. K. Inoue +3
Several Lyman Continuum (LyC) emitters have been detected so far, but their observed ionising spectra sometimes differ from attenuated stellar spectra predicted by stellar populati…
The Great Escape: Understanding the Connection Between Ly Emission and LyC Escape in Simulated JWST Analogues
Nicholas Choustikov, Harley Katz, Aayush Saxena +6
Constraining the escape fraction of Lyman Continuum (LyC) photons from high-redshift galaxies is crucial to understanding reionization. Recent observations have demonstrated that v…
Ly emission as a sensitive probe of feedback-regulated LyC escape from dwarf galaxies
Yuxuan Yuan, Sergio Martin-Alvarez, Martin G. Haehnelt +2
Ly emission is an exceptionally informative tracer of the life cycle of evolving galaxies and the escape of ionising photons. However, theoretical studies of Ly emission are…
