The interstellar abundances of D I, N I, and O I in the local ISM are studied us ing high-resolution spectra of four hot white dwarfs. The spectra of GD 246, WD 2331$-$475, HZ 21, and Lan 23 were obtained with the {\it Far Ultraviolet…
We report on a $\rm{[CII]}_{158\mu\rm{m}}$ search using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) on three lensed, confirmed {\lya} emitting galaxies at $z \sim 7$. Our targets are ultra-violet (UV) faint systems with stellar…
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…
Loeb and Waxman have argued that high energy neutrinos from the decay of pions produced in interactions of cosmic rays with interstellar gas in starburst galaxies would be produced with a large enough flux to be observable. Their model is…
Interstellar dust at high Galactic latitudes can influence astronomical foreground subtraction, produce diffuse scattered light, and soften the ultraviolet spectra of quasars. In a sample of 94 sight lines toward quasars at high latitude…
We present 6.5-meter MMT and 3.5m APO spectrophotometry of 69 H II regions in 42 low-metallicity emission-line galaxies, selected from the Data Release 7 of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey to have mostly [O III]4959/Hbeta < 1 and [N…
We have used data from the Galaxy Evolution Explorer to study the different components of the diffuse ultraviolet background in the region between the Galactic latitudes 70-80 degree. We find an offset at zero dust column density (E(B - V)…
We report the results of a search for O VI absorption in the spectra of 80 hot DA white dwarfs observed by the FUSE satellite. We have carried out a detailed analysis of the radial velocities of interstellar and (where present) stellar…
We present emission line ratios from a sample of 26 Lyman break galaxies from $z\sim5.5-9.5$ with $-17.0<M_{1500}<-20.4$, measured from ultra-deep JWST/NIRSpec MSA spectroscopy from JADES. We use 28 hour deep PRISM/CLEAR and 7 hour deep…
We present the result of 28 hours of observations of the nearby starburst galaxy NGC 253 with the H.E.S.S. detector in 2003. We find no evidence for very high energy gamma-ray emission from this object. Gamma-ray emission above 400 GeV from…
We show that cosmic-ray observations set a model-independent upper bound to the flux of high-energy, > 10^14 eV, neutrinos produced by photo-meson (or p-p) interactions in sources of size not much larger than the proton photo-meson (or pp)…
Galactic outflows regulate the amount of gas galaxies convert into stars. However, it is difficult to measure the mass outflows remove because they span a large range of temperatures and phases. Here, we study the rest-frame ultraviolet…
We have targeted two recently discovered Lyman break galaxies (LBGs) to search for dust continuum and [CII] 158 micron line emission. The strongly lensed z~6.8 LBG A1703-zD1 behind the galaxy cluster Abell 1703, and the spectroscopically…
We present Very Large Telescope/Xshooter spectrophotometric observations of eleven low-redshift (z<0.085) compact star-forming galaxies (`high O32 sample'). These galaxies are characterised by extremely high emission-line ratios…
The first complete far-infrared spectrum (43-197um) of the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 1068 as observed with the LWS onboard ISO is reported. In addition to the expected ionic fine structure emission lines, the OH rotational lines at 79, 119 and…
We present our new ALMA observations targeting [OIII]88um, [CII]158um, [NII]122um, and dust continuum emission for three Lyman break galaxies at z=6.0293-6.2037 identified in the Subaru/Hyper Suprime-Cam survey. We clearly detect [OIII] and…
We find significantly different diagnostic emission line ratios for the circumgalactic gas associated with galaxies of stellar masses above and below $10^{10.4}$ M$_\odot$ using SDSS spectroscopy. Specifically, in a sample of 17,393…
We report upper limits on dust emission at far-infrared (IR) wavelengths from three nearby Type Ia supernovae: SNe 2011by, 2011fe and 2012cg. Observations were carried out at 70 um and 160 um with the Photodetector Array Camera and…
Historical Type Ia supernovae are a leading candidate for the source of positrons observed through their diffuse annihilation emission in the Galaxy. However, search for annihilation emission from individual Type Ia supernovae has not been…
The Galactic diffuse soft gamma-ray (30-800 keV) emission has been measured from the Galactic Center by the HIREGS balloon-borne germanium spectrometer to determine the spectral characteristics and origin of the emission. The resulting…
