The next generation of wide-field spectroscopic redshift surveys will map the large-scale galaxy distribution in the redshift range 0.7< z<2 to measure baryonic acoustic oscillations (BAO). The primary optical signature used in this…
We report on a $\rm{[CII]}_{158\mu\rm{m}}$ search using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) on three lensed, confirmed {\lya} emitting galaxies at $z \sim 7$. Our targets are ultra-violet (UV) faint systems with stellar…
We characterize, for the first time, the average extended emission in multiple lines ([OII], [OIII], and Hbeta) around a statistical sample of 560 galaxies at z~0.25-0.85. By stacking the Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) 3D data…
We report the serendipitous discovery of two objects close in projection with fairly strong emission lines at long wavelength (~9190 A). One (A) seems not to be hosted by any galaxy brighter than V(555)=27.5, or I(814)=26.7 (Vega-based…

We present Plateau de Bure Interferometer observations of far infra-red emission lines in BRI 0952-0115, a lensed quasar at z=4.4 powered by a super-massive black hole (M_BH=2x10^9 M_sun). In this source, the resolved map of the [CII]…
A new generation of cosmological experiments will spectroscopically detect the H$\alpha$ line from ELGs at optical/near-infrared frequencies. Other emission lines will also be present, which may come from the same H$\alpha$ sample or…
ISO has enabled far-infrared spectroscopy of a variety of galaxies. Using the [CII] (158 micron) and [OI](63 micron) lines, we can characterize the physical conditions in the star-forming ISM. These observations also form the basis of our…
We report the discovery in space of a disilicon species, SiCSi, from observations between 80 and 350 GHz with the IRAM 30m radio telescope. Owing to the close coordination between laboratory experiments and astrophysics, 112 lines have now…

Prior to the launch of JWST, Spitzer/IRAC photometry offers the only means of studying the rest-frame optical properties of z>7 galaxies. Many such high redshift galaxies display a red [3.6] - [4.5] micron colour, often referred to as the…
We present new measurements of CIB anisotropies using Planck. Combining HFI data with IRAS, the angular auto- and cross frequency power spectrum is measured from 143 to 3000 GHz, and the auto-bispectrum from 217 to 545 GHz. The total areas…
Primordial non-Gaussianity is an invaluable window into the physical processes that gave rise to the cosmological structure. The presence of local shape PNG imprints a distinct scale-dependent correction to the bias of dark matter tracers…
CII line intensity mapping (LIM) is a potential technique to probe the early galaxies from the Epoch of Reionization (EoR). Several experiments e.g. CONCERTO, TIME, CCAT-p are underway to map the CII LIM signal fluctuations from the EoR,…
Using a sample of 3814 quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, we confirm that high-ionization, broad, emission lines such as CIV are significantly blueshifted with respect to low-ionization, broad, emission lines such as MgII. CIV…
Deep spectroscopic observations of z~6.5 galaxies have revealed a marked decline with increasing redshift in the detectability of Lyman-alpha emission. While this may offer valuable insight into the end of the reionisation process, it…
