The Co-evolution of Cosmic Entropy and Structures in the Universe
Xinghai Zhao, Yuexing Li, Qirong Zhu +1
According to the second law of thermodynamics, the arrow of time points to an ever increasing entropy of the Universe. However, exactly how the entropy evolves with time and what d…
Effects of photon trapping on the Lyman-alpha properties of star-forming galaxies
Hidenobu Yajima, Yuexing Li
Recent observations show that a large number of Lyman-alpha emitters (LAEs) at high redshift z >= 3 have unusually high Lya equivalent widths (EW > 400 angstrom). However, the orig…
Cold accretion in early galaxy formation and its Lyman-alpha signatures
Hidenobu Yajima, Yuexing Li, Qirong Zhu +1
The Lyman-alpha (Lya) emission has played an important role in detecting high-redshift galaxies, including recently distant ones at redshift z > 7. It may also contain important in…
Scaling Relations Between Low-mass Black Holes and Their Host Galaxies
Qirong Zhu, Yuexing Li, Sydney Sherman
It is well established that supermassive black holes in nearby elliptical galaxies correlate tightly with the kinematic property ($\mbhsigma$ correlation) and stellar mass ($\mbhho…
Extended Lyman-alpha emission from interacting galaxies at high redshifts
Hidenobu Yajima, Yuexing Li, Qirong Zhu
Recent observations have discovered a population of extended Lya sources, dubbed Lyman-alpha blobs (LABs), at high redshift z ~ 3 - 6.6. These LABs typically have a luminosity of L…
Escape of Lyman-alpha and continuum photons from star-forming galaxies
Hidenobu Yajima, Yuexing Li, Qirong Zhu +3
A large number of high-redshift galaxies have been discovered via their narrow-band Lya line or broad-band continuum colors in recent years. The nature of the escaping process of p…
