Combining 66 ultraviolet (UV) spectra and ancillary data from the Low-Redshift Lyman Continuum Survey (LzLCS) and 23 LyC observations by earlier studies, we form a statistical sample of star-forming galaxies at $z \sim 0.3$ to study the…

Lyman-$\alpha$ photons are resonantly scattered by neutral hydrogen, and may therefore trace both the spatial extent and the kinematics of the gas surrounding galaxies. We present new observations of the extended Ly$\alpha$ halo of…

We present a sample of Ly{\alpha} emitters (LAEs) at $z\approx6.6$ from our spectroscopic survey of high-redshift galaxies using the multi-object spectrograph M2FS on the Magellan Clay telescope. The sample consists of 36 LAEs selected by…

We reported in a previous paper the discovery of large-scale structure of Lyman Alpha emitters (LAEs) at z=4.86+-0.03 with a projected size of 20 Mpc x 50 Mpc in narrow-band data of a 25' x 45' area of the Subaru Deep Field (Omega_0=0.3,…

We report the discovery of a double-peaked Lyman-$\alpha$ (Ly$\alpha$) emitter (LAE) at $z=3.2177\pm0.0001$ in VLT/MUSE data. The galaxy is strongly lensed by the galaxy cluster RXC~J0018.5+1626 recently observed in the RELICS survey, and…

We present a spectral stacking analysis of galaxies at $z\geq6$ observed with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). We curate a sample of $64$ galaxies spanning redshifts $z_{\rm spec} = 6.0 - 9.4$ which have NIRSpec medium resolution…

New results are presented, as part of the Hi-z Emission Line Survey (HiZELS), from the largest area survey to date (1.4 sq.deg) for Lyman-alpha emitters (LAEs) at z~9. The survey, which is primarily targeting H-alpha emitters at z<3, uses…

We present the results of an optical spectroscopic study of 12 GALEX-discovered star-forming Lyman alpha emitting galaxies (LAEs) at z ~ 0.3. We measure the emission line fluxes from these galaxies by fitting their observed spectra to…

We present a deep learning framework to enhance the identification of Ly$\alpha$ emitters (LAEs) in the Hobby-Eberly Telescope Dark Energy Experiment (HETDEX), an untargeted spectroscopic survey of LAEs at $1.9 < z < 3.5$ without imaging…

We present the median surface brightness profiles of diffuse Ly$\alpha$ haloes (LAHs) around star-forming galaxies by stacking 155 spectroscopically confirmed Ly$\alpha$ emitters (LAEs) at 3<z<4 in the MUSE Extremely Deep Field (MXDF), with…

We report results of a deep wide-field narrowband survey for redshift z~5.7 Ly alpha emitters carried out with SuprimeCam on Subaru 8.3-m telescope. Deep narrowband imaging of the SSA22 field through a 120 A bandpass filter centered at 8150…

We measure the evolution of the rest-frame UV luminosity function (LF) and the stellar mass function (SMF) of Lyman-alpha (Lya) emitters (LAEs) from z~2 to z~6 by exploring ~4000 LAEs from the SC4K sample. We find a correlation between Lya…

We present an atlas of 88 z~5.7 and 30 z~6.5 Ly alpha emitters obtained from a wide-field narrowband survey. We combined deep narrowband imaging in 120A bandpass filters centered at 8150A and 9140A with deep BVRIz broadband imaging to…

Lyman Alpha Emitting (LAE) galaxies are thought to be progenitors of present-day L* galaxies. Clustering analyses have suggested that LAEs at z ~ 3 might evolve into LAEs at z ~ 2, but it is unclear whether the physical nature of these…

Ly$\alpha$-emitting galaxies (LAEs) are easily detectable in the high-redshift Universe and are potentially efficient tracers of large scale structure at early epochs, as long as their observed properties do not strongly depend on…

The ionizing photon escape fraction (LyC $f_{\rm{esc}}$) of star-forming galaxies is the single greatest unknown in the reionization budget. Stochastic sightline effects prohibit the direct separation of LyC leakers from non-leakers at…

We present the statistical properties of Ly$\alpha$ emission in 586 galaxies at $z=4.5-14.2$, observed by multiple JWST/NIRSpec spectroscopy projects, including JADES, GLASS, CEERS, and GO/DDT programs. We obtain Ly$\alpha$ equivalent width…
