Observations of the sub-millimetre galaxy SMMJ2135-0102, which has been gravitationally magnified by a factor of 32 by a massive foreground galaxy cluster lens, find that the luminosity densities of these star-forming regions are comparable to the dense cores of giant molecular clouds in the local Universe, but they are about a hundred times larger and 107 times more luminous.
THE MOSDEF SURVEY: MASS, METALLICITY, AND STAR-FORMATION RATE AT z ∼ 2.3

- Physics
- 6 August 2014
We present deep spectroscopy of 17 very low mass (M* similar or equal to 2.0 x 10(6)-1.4 x 10(9) M-circle dot) and low luminosity (M-UV similar or equal to -13.7 to -19.9) gravitationally lensed ga…
Spectroscopic detection of C iv λ1548 in a galaxy at z = 7.045: implications for the ionizing spectra of reionization-era galaxies

- Physics
- 26 April 2015
We present Keck/MOSFIRE observations of UV metal lines in four bright gravitationally-lensed z~6-8 galaxies behind the cluster Abell 1703. The spectrum of A1703-zd6, a highly-magnified star forming…
Specific star formation and the relation to stellar mass from 0 < z < 2 as seen in the far-infrared at 70 and 160 μm
- S. Oliver, M. Frost, M. Vaccari
- Physics

We use the Spitzer Wide-area InfraRed Extragalactic Legacy Survey (SWIRE) to explore the specific star formation activity of galaxies and their evolution near the peak of the cosmic far-infrared…
New Constraints on the Lyman Continuum Escape Fraction at z ~ 1.3
- B. Siana, H. Teplitz, F. Menanteau
- Physics
- 27 June 2007
We examine deep far-UV (1600 Å) imaging of the HDF-N and the HUDF to search for leaking Lyman continuum radiation from starburst galaxies at z ~ 1.3. There are 21 (primarily sub-L*) galaxies with…

- 10 February 2006
Using the large multiwavelength data set in the Chandra/SWIRE Survey (0.6 deg2 in the Lockman Hole), we show evidence for the existence of highly obscured (Compton-thick) AGNs, estimate a lower limit…
