The cosmic ionizing emissivity from star-forming galaxies has long been anchored to UV luminosity functions. Here we introduce an emissivity framework based on Ly$\alpha$ emitters (LAEs), which naturally hones in on the subset of galaxies…

(Abridged). We aim at bridging the gap between absorption selected and emission selected galaxies at z~3 by probing the faint end of the luminosity function of star-forming galaxies at z~3. We have performed narrow-band imaging in three…

We present results of our large-area survey for z'-band dropout galaxies at z=7 in a 1568 arcmin^2 sky area covering the SDF and GOODS-N fields. Combining our ultra-deep Subaru/Suprime-Cam z'- and y-band (lambda_eff=1um) images with legacy…

Reionization-era galaxies tend to exhibit weak Ly$\alpha$ emission, likely reflecting attenuation from an increasingly neutral IGM. Recent observations have begun to reveal exceptions to this picture, with strong Ly$\alpha$ emission now…

We present spectroscopic observations obtained with the ESO Very Large Telecope (VLT) of seven candidate Ly-alpha emitting galaxies in the field of the radio quiet Q1205-30 at z=3.04 previously detected with deep narrow band imaging. Based…

We examine the impact of using photometric redshifts for studying the evolution of both the global galaxy luminosity function (LF) and that for different galaxy types. To this end we compare LFs obtained using photometric redshifts from the…

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…

With JWST, it is now possible to use Lyman-Alpha (Ly$\alpha$) emission from galaxies beyond z>8 to trace neutral hydrogen in the intergalactic medium (IGM) as the Universe became reionized. However, observed Ly$\alpha$ emission is scattered…

The decline in abundance of Lyman-$\alpha$ (Ly$\alpha$) emitting galaxies at $z \gtrsim 6$ is a powerful and commonly used probe to constrain the progress of cosmic reionization. We use the CoDaII simulation, which is a radiation…

Recently, the CIII] and CIV emission lines have been observed in galaxies in the early Universe ($z>5$), providing new ways to measure their redshift and study their stellar populations and AGN. We explore the first blind CII], CIII] and…

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 report a search for z=7 Ly-alpha emitters (LAEs) using a custom-made Narrow-Band filter, centered at 9755 Angstroms, with the instrument Suprime-Cam installed at the Subaru telescope. We observed two different fields and obtained two…

The resonant scattering nature of Ly$\alpha$ photons interacting with neutral hydrogen makes Ly$\alpha$ emitters (LAEs) robust tracers of the intergalactic neutral hydrogen fraction, and thus sensitive probes of cosmic reionization. We…

Assessing the contribution of ionizing sources to cosmic reionization is a central goal of extragalactic astrophysics. Understanding and quantifying ionizing escape remains challenging near the epoch of reionization. We present the…

Cosmological hydrodynamic simulations have significantly improved over the past several years, and we have already shown that the observed properties of Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs) at z=3 can be explained well by the massive galaxies in the…

Using a simple method to interpret the luminosity function of Ly-alpha emitters, we explore properties of Ly-alpha emitters from 5.7 < z < 8.8 with various assumptions about metallicity and stellar mass spectra. We constrain a…

We construct a flux-limited sample of 135 candidate z~1 Lya emitters (LAEs) from Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) grism data using a new data cube search method. These LAEs have luminosities comparable to those at high redshifts and lie…

We present a flux-limited sample of $z\sim0.3$ Ly$\alpha$ emitters (LAEs) from Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) grism spectroscopic data. The published GALEX $z\sim0.3$ LAE sample is pre-selected from continuum-bright objects and thus is…

We report the unprecedented Ly$\alpha$ properties of AMORE6, an extremely metal-poor ($12+\log({\rm O/H}) < 6$), low-mass ($M_\star = 4.4\times10^{5}\,M_\odot$), and ultracompact (effective radius $\sim30$ pc) dwarf galaxy at $z=5.7253$,…
