The connection between galactic outflows and the escape of ionizing photons
Ramesh Mainali, Jane R. Rigby, John Chisholm +13
We analyze spectra of a gravitationally lensed galaxy, known as the Sunburst Arc, that is leaking ionizing photons, also known as the Lyman continuum (LyC). Magnification from grav…
Ionized gas properties of the extreme starburst galaxy Haro 11. Temperature and metal abundance discrepancies
V. Menacho, G. Östlin A. Bik, A. Adamo +5
We use high quality VLT/MUSE data to study the kinematics and the ionized gas properties of Haro 11, a well known starburst merger system and the closest confirmed Lyman continuum…
The source of leaking ionizing photons from Haro11 -- Clues from HST/COS spectroscopy of knots A, B and C
Göran Östlin, T. Emil Rivera-Thorsen, Veronica Menacho +15
Understanding the escape of ionizing (Lyman continuum) photons from galaxies is vital for determining how galaxies contributed to reionization in the early universe. While directly…
The production and escape of ionizing photons from galaxies over cosmic time (Astro2020 Science White Paper)
Jane R. Rigby, Danielle Berg, Rongmon Bordoloi +10
The ionizing photons produced by massive stars are key actors in galaxy evolution. Ionizing photon production and escape is poorly understood. Improved space-based, spatially-resol…
Gravitational lensing reveals ionizing ultraviolet photons escaping from a distant galaxy
T. Emil Rivera-Thorsen, Håkon Dahle, John Chisholm +7
During the epoch of reionisation, neutral gas in the early Universe was ionized by hard ultraviolet radiation emitted by young stars in the first galaxies. To do so, ionizing ultra…
The Sunburst Arc: Direct Lyman α escape observed in the brightest known lensed galaxy
T. Emil Rivera-Thorsen, Håkon Dahle, Max Gronke +6
We present rest-frame ultraviolet and optical spectroscopy of the brightest lensed galaxy yet discovered, at redshift z = 2.4. This source reveals a characteristic, triple-peaked L…
