We present Herschel/PACS observations of extended [CII]157.7{\mu}m line emission detected on ~ 1 - 10 kpc scales in 60 local luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs) from the Great Observatories All-sky LIRG Survey (GOALS). We find that most of…

We present the [CII]158$\mu$m line luminosity functions (LFs) at $z\sim4-6$ using the ALMA observations of 118 sources, which are selected to have UV luminosity $M_{1500A}<-20.2$ and optical spectroscopic redshifts in COSMOS and ECDF-S. Of…

Characterizing the galaxy population in the early Universe holds the key to understanding the evolution of these objects and the role they played in cosmic reionization. However, the number of observations at the very highest redshifts are…

The brightest observed emission line in many star-forming galaxies is the [CII] 158 micron line, making it detectable up to z~7. In order to better understand and quantify the [CII] emission as a tracer of star-formation, the theoretical…

We identify and investigate a possible correlation between the $\rm{[CII]} 158{\mu}m$ luminosity and linewidth in the $\rm{[CII]}$-detected galaxies. Observationally, the strength of the $\rm{[CII]} 158{\mu}m$ emission line is usually…

Optical emission-line ratios in star-forming galaxies at $z \sim 3$-8, such as [OIII]/H$\beta$ and [OIII]/[OII], are strongly offset from those at $z \sim 0$-2, pointing to more extreme ionization and ISM conditions in the early Universe.…

Himiko is one of the most luminous Ly{\alpha} emitters at z = 6.595. It has three star forming clumps detected in the rest-frame UV, with a total SFR = 20 M$_\odot$/yr. We report the ALMA detection of the [CII]158$\mu$m line emission in…

With the Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE), it is now possible to detect spatially extended Lyman alpha emission from individual faint (M_UV ~ -18) galaxies at redshifts, 3 < z < 6, tracing gas out to circum-galactic scales…

Atomic fine structure lines have been detected in the local Universe and at high redshifts over the past decades. The [C II] emission line at 158 $\mu$m is an important observable as it provides constraints on the interstellar medium (ISM)…
