Galaxy formation models are now able to reproduce observed relations such as the relation between galaxies' star formation rates (SFRs) and stellar masses ($M_*$) and the stellar mass--halo mass relation. We demonstrate that comparisons of…

We investigate the galaxy properties of $\sim$400 low-mass ($<10^9\,M_{\odot}$) H$\alpha$ emitters (HAEs) at z $\sim$ 2.3 in the ZFOURGE survey. The selection of these HAEs is based on the excess in the observed $K_s$ broad-band flux…

We analyse the observed correlation between galaxy environment and H-alpha emission line strength, using volume-limited samples and group catalogues of 24968 galaxies drawn from the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (Mb<-19.5) and the Sloan…

The H alpha equivalent width (EW) is the ratio of the H alpha flux to the continuum at 6565{\AA}. In normal star forming galaxies the H alpha flux is dominated by reprocessed photons from stars with masses greater than 10 M_o and the…

Understanding the diversity of star formation histories (SFHs) of galaxies is key to reconstructing their evolutionary paths. Traditional models often assume parametric forms such as delayed-tau or exponentially declining models, which may…

In order to shed light on how galactic properties depend on the intergalactic medium (IGM) environment traced by the Ly$\alpha$ forest, we observationally investigate the IGM-galaxy connection using the publicly available 3D IGM tomography…

We measure the H{\alpha} and [OIII] emission line properties as well as specific star-formation rates (sSFR) of spectroscopically confirmed 3<z<6 galaxies in COSMOS from their observed colors vs. redshift evolution. Our model describes…

We conducted a deep narrow-band imaging survey with the Subaru Prime Focus Camera on the Subaru Telescope and constructed a sample of Ly$\alpha$ emitters (LAEs) at z=2.53 in the UDS-CANDELS field where a sample of H$\alpha$ emitters (HAEs)…

The relation between the Star Formation Rate (SFR) and stellar mass (${\rm M}_{\star}$) of galaxies represents a fundamental constraint on galaxy formation and has been studied extensively both in observations and cosmological simulations.…

We construct a model of H$\alpha$ emitters (HAEs) based on a semi-analytic galaxy formation model, the New Numerical Galaxy Catalog ($\nu^2$GC). In this paper, we report our estimate for the field variance of the HAE distribution. By…

We report on the statistical analysis of quasar photoevaporation at $z\sim2.2$ by comparing the density of surrounding Ly$\alpha$ Emitters (LAEs) and continuum-selected galaxies, based on the imaging data of Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) Subaru…

The main goal of this study was to determine the effects on equivalent widths (EWs) of some spectral lines produced in the quasars by the presence of surrounding galaxies. To carry this out, a sample of 4663 quasars (QSOs) in the redshift…

We investigate the properties of extreme emission line galaxies (EELGs) at $z=4-9$ and their role in reionization. Compact, low-mass galaxies with intense optical emission lines are linked to elevated specific star formation rates (sSFRs)…

Galaxies exhibit a tight correlation between their star-formation rate and stellar mass over a wide redshift range known as the star-forming main sequence (SFMS). With JWST, we can now investigate the SFMS at high redshifts down to masses…

We used observations from the JWST Emission Line Survey (JELS) to measure the half-light radii ($r_{e}$) of 23 H$\alpha$-emitting star-forming (SF) galaxies at $z=6.1$ in the PRIMER/COSMOS field. Galaxy sizes were measured in JWST…

Ly{\alpha} line EWs provide important clues to the physical nature of high redshift LAEs. However, measuring the Ly{\alpha} EW distribution of high-z narrowband selected LAEs can be hard because many sources do not have broadband…
