We present the results of rest-frame ultraviolet spectroscopic observations of a sample of 14 z~3 star-forming galaxies in the SSA22a field. These spectra are characterized by unprecedented depth in the Lyman-continuum region. For the first…
Outflows and rotation are two ubiquitous kinematic features in the gas kinematics of galaxies. Here we introduce a semi-analytic model to quantify how rotating outflows impact the morphology of the Lyman-$\alpha$ emission line. The model is…
We use deep HST STIS and NICMOS images of three spectroscopically confirmed galaxy counterparts of high-redshift damped Ly-alpha (DLA) absorbers (one of which is a new discovery) to test the hypothesis that high-redshift DLA galaxies are…
[abridged] Aims. The aim of this paper is to assess the impact of the interstellar medium (ISM) physics on Lyman-alpha (Lya) radiation transfer and to quantify how galaxy orientation with respect to the line of sight alters observational…
Finding reliable indicators of Lyman continuum (LyC) photon leakage from galaxies is essential in order to infer their escape fraction in the epoch of reionisation, where direct measurements of LyC flux are impossible. To this end, here we…
We explore the relationship between the spectral shape of the Ly{\alpha} emission and the UV morphology of the host galaxy using a sample of 304 Ly{\alpha}-emitting BV i-dropouts at 3 < z < 7 in the GOODS and COSMOS fields. Using our…
Lyman-Alpha (Lya) photons emitted in star-forming galaxies undergo complex radiative transfer through the interstellar (ISM), circumgalactic (CGM), and intergalactic medium (IGM), imprinting characteristic signatures on their observed line…
We present results from the LymAn Continuum Escape Survey (LACES), a Hubble Space Telescope (HST) program designed to characterize the ionizing radiation emerging from a sample of Lyman alpha emitting galaxies at redshift $z\simeq 3.1$. As…
Compact starburst galaxies are thought to include many or most of the galaxies from which substantial Lyman continuum emission can escape into the intergalactic medium. Li and Malkan (2018) used SDSS photometry to find a population of such…
We search for galaxy counterparts to damped Lyman-alpha absorbers (DLAs) at z>2 towards nine quasars, which have 14 DLAs and 8 sub-DLAs in their spectra. We use integral field spectroscopy to search for Ly-alpha emission line objects at the…
We present reduced and calibrated high resolution Lyman-alpha (Lya) images for a sample of 6 local star forming galaxies. Targets were selected to represent a range in luminosity and metallicity and to include both known Lya emitters and…
We study the average Ly$\alpha$ emission associated with high-$z$ strong (log $N$(H I) $\ge$ 21) damped Ly$\alpha$ systems (DLAs). We report Ly$\alpha$ luminosities ($L_{\rm Ly\alpha}$) for the full as well as various sub-samples based on…
We present the results of a systematic study of the rest-frame UV spectroscopic properties of Lyman Break Galaxies (LBGs). The database of almost 1000 LBG spectra proves useful for constructing high S/N composite spectra. The composite…
The Lyman Alpha Reference Sample (LARS) of 14 star-forming galaxies offers a wealth of insight into the workings of these local analogs to high-redshift star-forming galaxies. The sample has been well-studied in terms of LyA and other…
We have studied the effects of gas density inhomogeneities on the escape of ionising Lyman continuum (Lyc) photons from Milky Way-type galaxies via 3D numerical simulations using the Monte Carlo radiative transfer code CRASH (Ciardi et al.…
Recent observations have discovered an escape of ionizing Lyman-continuum radiation from a population of compact, actively star-forming galaxies at redshift z~0.3, also known as "green peas". We here study the peculiar green pea Lyman-alpha…
We investigate Lyman-alpha (Ly$\alpha$) transmission spikes at $5.2 < z < 6.8$ using synthetic quasar spectra from the ``Cosmic Reionization On Computers" simulations. We focus on understanding the relationship between these spikes and the…
We present the CAlibrating LYMan-$\alpha$ with H$\alpha$ (CALYMHA) pilot survey and new results on Lyman-$\alpha$ (Lya) selected galaxies at z~2. We use a custom-built Lya narrow-band filter at the Isaac Newton Telescope, designed to…
The recently discovered population of ultra-faint extended line emitters can account for the majority of the incidence rate of Damped Lyman Alpha systems (DLAs) at z ~ 3 if the line emission is interpreted as Ly alpha. We show here that a…
We present the first comprehensive evolutionary analysis of the rest-frame UV spectroscopic properties of star-forming galaxies at z ~ 2-4. We match samples at different redshifts in UV luminosity and stellar mass, and perform systematic…
