We report on observations of Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs) selected from the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey at mean redshift z~4, 5 and 6, obtained with FORS2 spectrograph at the ESO-VLT.This program has yielded spectroscopic…
We present a probabilistic autoencoder (PAE) framework for galaxy spectral energy distribution (SED) modeling and redshift estimation, applied to synthetic SPHEREx 102-band spectrophotometry. Our PAE learns a compact latent representation…
Faint, star-forming galaxies likely play a dominant role in cosmic reionisation. Strides have been made in recent years to characterise these populations at high redshifts ($z>3$). Now for the first time, with JWST photometry beyond 1$\,\mu…
Lyman Alpha Emitters (LAEs) are galaxies that have been selected on the basis of a strong Ly{\alpha} emission line in their spectra. Observational campaigns have dramatically increased the sample of known LAEs, which now extends out to z=7.…
The WFC3 Infrared Spectroscopic Parallel Survey (WISP) uses the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) infrared grism capabilities to obtain slitless spectra of thousands of galaxies over a wide redshift range including the peak of star formation…
The visibility of high-redshift Lyman-alpha emitting galaxies (LAEs) provides important constraints on galaxy formation processes and the Epoch of Reionization (EoR). However, predicting realistic and representative statistics for…
The Lyman-alpha (Lya) emission line is the primary observational signature of star-forming galaxies at the highest redshifts, and has enabled the compilation of large samples of galaxies with which to study cosmic evolution. The resonant…
Using four different suites of cosmological simulations, we generate synthetic spectra for galaxies with different Lyman continuum escape fractions (fesc) at redshifts z=7-9, in the rest-frame wavelength range relevant for the James Webb…
In my previous reanalysis of the local star-forming galaxies observed in the Hobby-Eberly Telescope Dark Energy Experiment (HETDEX) pilot survey, I reported that the overestimation of E(B - V), hence the star formation rate (SFR),…
Powerful current and future cosmological constraints using high precision measurements of the large-scale structure of galaxies and its weak gravitational lensing effects rely on accurate characterization of the redshift distributions of…
We compare the physical and morphological properties of z ~ 2 Lyman-alpha emitting galaxies (LAEs) identified in the HETDEX Pilot Survey and narrow band studies with those of z ~ 2 optical emission line galaxies (oELGs) identified via HST…
We present a spectroscopic survey of Ly$\alpha$ emitters (LAEs) at $z\sim3.7$ and $z\sim4.8$. The LAEs are selected using the narrowband technique based on the combination of deep narrowband and broadband imaging data in two deep fields,…
We report that Ly$\alpha$-emitting galaxies (LAEs) may not faithfully trace the cosmic web of neutral hydrogen (HI), but their distribution is likely biased depending on the viewing direction. We calculate the cross-correlation (CCF)…
The Hydrogen Lyman-alpha (Lya) line shows a large variety of shapes which is caused by factors at different scales, from the interstellar medium to the intergalactic medium. This work aims to provide a systematic inventory and…
We assemble a sample of 17 low metallicity (7.45 < log(O/H)+12 < 8.12) galaxies with z < 0.1 found spectroscopically, without photometric pre-selection, in early data from the Hobby Eberly Telescope Dark Energy Experiment (HETDEX). Star…
Lyman Alpha Emitters (LAEs) are star-forming galaxies that efficiently probe the spatial distribution of galaxies in the high redshift universe. The spatial clustering of LAEs reflects the properties of their individual host dark matter…
The redshift-dependent fraction of color-selected galaxies revealing Lyman alpha emission has become the most valuable constraint on the evolving neutrality of the early intergalactic medium. However, in addition to resonant scattering by…
Euclid, WFIRST, and HETDEX will make emission-line selected galaxies the largest observed constituent in the $z > 1$ universe. However, we only have a limited understanding of the physical properties of galaxies selected via their…
While the Lyman-$\alpha$ ($\mathrm{Ly}\alpha$) emission line serves as an important tool in the study of galaxies at $z\lesssim 6$, finding Ly$\alpha$ emitters (LAE) at significantly higher redshifts has been more challenging, probably…
We present the observational results of our search for emission-line galaxies (ELG) towards nearby voids. In order to find ELG, we started a survey using the IIIa-J objective prism plates from the Hamburg QSO Survey. The plates are…
