Distant radio galaxies and their environments

G Miley, C De Breuck - The Astronomy and Astrophysics Review, 2008 - Springer
We review the properties and nature of luminous high-redshift radio galaxies (HzRGs, z> 2)
and the environments in which they are located. HzRGs have several distinct constituents …

A cosmic UV/X-ray background model update

CA Faucher-Giguere - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2020 - academic.oup.com
We present an updated model of the cosmic ionizing background from the UV to the X-rays.
Relative to our previous model, the new model provides a better match to a large number of …

Big Three Dragons: A z = 7.15 Lyman-break galaxy detected in [O iii] 88 μm, [C ii] 158 μm, and dust continuum with ALMA

E Borisova, S Cantalupo, SJ Lilly… - The Astrophysical …, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
Direct Lyα imaging of intergalactic gas at $ z\sim 2$ has recently revealed giant
cosmological structures around quasars, eg, the Slug Nebula. Despite their high luminosity …

The structure and kinematics of the circumgalactic medium from far-ultraviolet spectra of z≃ 2–3 galaxies

CC Steidel, DK Erb, AE Shapley, M Pettini… - The Astrophysical …, 2010 - iopscience.iop.org
We present new results on the kinematics and spatial distribution of metal-enriched gas
within∼ 125 kpc of star-forming (" Lyman break") galaxies at redshifts 2≲ z≲ 3. In particular …

Simulating the diversity of shapes of the Lyman-α line

The Ly α line is a powerful probe of distant galaxies, which contains information about
inflowing/outflowing gas through which Ly α photons scatter. To develop our understanding …

The thesan project: Lyman-α emission and transmission during the Epoch of Reionization

A Smith, R Kannan, E Garaldi… - Monthly Notices of …, 2022 - academic.oup.com
The visibility of high-redshift Lyman-alpha emitting galaxies (LAEs) provides important
constraints on galaxy formation processes and the Epoch of Reionization (EoR). However …

On the sizes of ionized bubbles around galaxies during the reionization epoch. The spectral shapes of the Lyα emission from galaxies

MJ Hayes, C Scarlata - The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
We develop a new method to determine the distance between a high-redshift galaxy and a
foreground screen of atomic hydrogen. In a partially neutral universe, and assuming …

A new calculation of the ionizing background spectrum and the effects of He II reionization

CA Faucher-Giguere, A Lidz… - The Astrophysical …, 2009 - iopscience.iop.org
The ionizing background determines the ionization balance and the thermodynamics of the
cosmic gas. It is therefore a fundamental ingredient to theoretical and empirical studies of …
