We report interferometric measurements of [NII] 205 um fine-structure line emission from a representative sample of three galaxies at z=5-6 using the Atacama Large (sub)Millimeter Array (ALMA). These galaxies were previously detected in…

Determining the physical properties of galaxies during the first billion years after the big bang is key to understanding both early galaxy evolution and how galaxies contributed to the epoch of reionization. We present deep ALMA…

We perform a simulation with Galacticus, a semi-analytical galaxy formation model, to predict the number counts of H$\alpha$ and [OIII] emitting galaxies. With a state-of-the-art N-body simulation, UNIT, we first calibrate Galacticus with…

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.…

We report new deep ALMA observations aimed at investigating the [CII]158um line and continuum emission in three spectroscopically confirmed Lyman Break Galaxies at 6.8<z<7.1, i.e. well within the re-ionization epoch. With Star Formation…

We propose a methodology to perform a self-consistent analysis of the physical properties of the emitting gas of HII galaxies adequate to the data that can be obtained with the XXI century technology. This methodology requires the…

We present high signal-to-noise spectrophotometric observations of seven luminous HII galaxies. The observations have been made with the use of a double-arm spectrograph which provides spectra with a wide wavelength coverage, from 3400 to…

Our objectives are to determine the properties of the interstellar medium (ISM) and of star-formation in typical star-forming galaxies at high redshift. Following up on our previous multi-wavelength observations with HST, Spitzer, Herschel,…

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 present new [O III] 88 ${\rm \mu}$m observations of five bright $z \sim 7$ Lyman-break galaxies spectroscopically confirmed by ALMA through the [C II] 158 ${\rm \mu}$m line, unlike recent [O III] detections where Lyman-${\rm \alpha}$ was…

Galaxies in the reionization-era have been shown to have prominent [OIII]+H$\beta$ emission. Little is known about the gas conditions and radiation field of this population, making it challenging to interpret the spectra emerging at…

ALMA and JWST have recently detected emission lines from the interstellar medium of star-forming galaxies during the Epoch of Reionization, reaching redshifts up to z = 14. Among these, [OIII] lines provide a powerful diagnostic of metal…

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…

Measurements of [OIII] emission in Lyman Break galaxies (LBGs) at z>3 are presented. Four galaxies were observed with narrow-band filters using the Near-IR Camera on the Keck I 10-m telescope. A fifth galaxy was observed spectroscopically…

The [CII] fine structure transition at 158 microns is the dominant cooling line of cool interstellar gas, and is the brightest of emission lines from star forming galaxies from FIR through meter wavelengths. With the advent of ALMA and…

Emission line galaxies are one of the main tracers of the large-scale structure to be targeted by the next-generation dark energy surveys. To provide a better understanding of the properties and statistics of these galaxies, we have…

Porous interstellar medium (ISM) structure in galaxies at the epoch of reionization (EoR) gives us a hint to understand what types of galaxies contribute to reionization. Although recent studies have pointed out the positive correlation…

The neutral atomic gas content of individual galaxies at large cosmological distances has until recently been difficult to measure due to the weakness of the hyperfine HI 21-cm transition. Here we estimate the HI gas mass of a sample of…

We present new results on [CII]158$\mu$ m emission from four galaxies in the reionization epoch. These galaxies were previously confirmed to be at redshifts between 6.6 and 7.15 from the presence of the Ly$\alpha$ emission line in their…
