- Description:
- We conducted a deep narrow-band imaging survey with the Subaru Prime Focus Camera on the Subaru Telescope and constructed a sample of Ly{alpha} emitters (LAEs) at z=2.53 in the UDS-CANDELS field, where a sample of H{alpha} emitters (HAEs) at the same redshift is already obtained from our previous narrow-band observation at near-infrared. The deep narrow-band and multibroad-band data allow us to find LAEs of stellar masses and star formation rates (SFRs) down to >=10^8^M_{sun}_ and >=0.2 M_{sun}_/yr, respectively. We show that the LAEs are located along the same mass-SFR sequence traced by normal star-forming galaxies such as HAEs, but towards a significantly lower mass regime. Likewise, LAEs seem to share the same mass-size relation with typical star-forming galaxies, except for the massive LAEs that tend to show significantly compact sizes. We identify a vigorous mass growth in the central part of LAEs: the stellar mass density in the central region of LAEs increases as their total galaxy mass grows. On the other hand, we see no Ly{alpha} line in emission for most of the HAEs. Rather, we find that the Ly{alpha} feature is either absent or in absorption (Ly{alpha} absorbers, LAAs), and its absorption strength may increase with reddening of the UV continuum slope. We demonstrate that a deep Ly{alpha} narrow-band imaging like this study is able to search for not only LAEs but also LAAs in a certain redshift slice. This work suggests that LAEs trace normal star-forming galaxies in the low-mas

- Description:
- We present a rest-frame ultraviolet morphological analysis of 108 z~2.1 Ly{alpha} emitters (LAEs) in the Extended Chandra Deep Field South and compare it to a similar sample of 171 LAEs at z~3.1. Using Hubble Space Telescope images from the Galaxy Evolution from Morphology and SEDs survey, Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey, and Hubble Ultradeep Field, we measure size and photometric component distributions, where photometric components are defined as distinct clumps of UV-continuum emission. At both redshifts, >80% of LAEs have observed half-light radii <2kpc, but the median half-light radius rises from 0.95+/-0.04kpc at z=3.1 to 1.41+/-0.14kpc at z=2.1. A similar evolution is seen in the sizes of individual rest-UV components, but there is no evidence for evolution in the number of multi-component systems. In the z=2.1 sample, we see clear correlations between the size of an LAE and other physical properties derived from its spectral energy distribution (SED). LAEs are found to be larger for galaxies with higher stellar mass, star formation rate, and dust obscuration, but there is no evidence for a trend between equivalent width and half-light radius at either redshift. The presence of these correlations suggests that a wide range of objects are being selected by LAE surveys at z~2, including a significant fraction of objects for which a massive and moderately extended population of old stars underlies the young starburst giving rise to the Ly{alpha} emission.

- Description:
- We present optical spectroscopy of two samples of Galaxy Evolution Explorer grism selected Ly{alpha} emitters (LAEs): one at z=0.195-0.44 and the other at z=0.65-1.25. We have also observed a comparison sample of galaxies in the same redshift intervals with the same UV magnitude distributions but with no detected Ly{alpha}. We use the optical spectroscopy to eliminate active galactic nuclei and to obtain the optical emission-line properties of the samples. We compare the luminosities of the LAEs in the two redshift intervals and show that there is dramatic evolution in the maximum Ly{alpha} luminosity over z=0-1. Focusing on the z=0.195-0.44 samples alone, we show that there are tightly defined relations between all of the galaxy parameters and the rest-frame equivalent width (EW) of H{alpha}. The higher EW(H{alpha}) sources all have lower metallicities, bluer colors, smaller sizes, and less extinction, consistent with their being in the early stages of the galaxy formation process.

- Description:
- Using an ultra-deep blind survey with the MUSE integral field spectrograph on the European Southern Observatory Very Large Telescope, we obtain spectroscopic redshifts to a depth never before explored: galaxies with observed magnitudes m_AB_>~30-32. Specifically, we detect objects via Ly{alpha} emission at 2.9<z<6.7 without individual continuum counterparts in areas covered by the deepest optical/near-infrared imaging taken by the Hubble Space Telescope, the Hubble Ultra Deep Field. In total, we find 102 such objects in 9 square arcminutes at these redshifts. Detailed stacking analyses confirm the Ly{alpha} emission as well as the 1216 {AA} breaks and faint ultraviolet continua (M_UV_~-15). This makes them the faintest spectroscopically confirmed objects at these redshifts, similar to the sources believed to reionize the universe. A simple model for the expected fraction of detected/undetected Ly{alpha} emitters as a function of luminosity is consistent with these objects being the high-equivalent width tail of the normal Ly{alpha}-emitter population at these redshifts.

- Description:
- We present measurements of the optical/UV emission lines for a large homogeneous sample of 993 quasars from the Large Bright Quasar Survey. Our largely automated technique accounts for continuum breaks and galactic reddening, and we perform multicomponent fits to emission line profiles, including the effects of blended iron emission, and of absorption lines both galactic and intrinsic. Here we describe the fitting algorithm and present the results of line fits to the LBQS sample, including upper limits to line equivalent widths when warranted. The distribution of measured line parameters, principally W_{lambda}_ and FWHM, are detailed for a variety of lines, including upper limits. We thus initiate a large-scale investigation of correlations between the high-energy continuum and emission lines in quasars, to be extended to complementary samples using similar techniques. High-quality, reproducible measurements of emission lines for uniformly selected samples will advance our understanding of active galaxies, especially in a new era of large surveys selected by a variety of complementary methods.

- Description:
- We present high-resolution and high-quality UVES spectroscopic data of the metal-poor double-lined spectroscopic binary CS 22876-032 ([Fe/H] approximately -3.7dex). Our goal is to derive the ^6^Li/^7^Li isotopic ratio by analysing the LiI 670.8nm doublet. Methods. We co-added all 28 useful spectra normalised and corrected for radial velocity to the rest frame of the primary star. We fitted the Li profile with a grid of the 3D non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (NLTE) synthetic spectra to take into account the line profile asymmetries induced by stellar convection, and performed Monte Carlo simulations to evaluate the uncertainty of the fit of the Li line profile. We checked that the veiling factor does not affect the derived isotopic ratio, ^6^Li/^7^Li, and only modifies the Li abundance, A(Li), by about 0.15dex. The best fit of the Li profile of the primary star provides A(Li)=2.17+/-0.01dex and ^6^Li/^7^Li=8^+2^_-5_% at 68% confidence level. In addition, we improved the Li abundance of the secondary star at A(Li)=1.55+/-0.04dex, which is about 0.6 dex lower than that of the primary star. The analysis of the Li profile of the primary star is consistent with no detection of ^6^Li and provides an upper limit to the isotopic ratio of ^6^Li/^7^Li<10% at this very low metallicity, about 0.5dex lower in metallicity than previous attempts for detection of ^6^Li in extremely metal poor stars. These results do not solve or worsen the cosmological ^7^Li problem, nor do they support the need for non-standard ^6^Li production in the early Universe.

- Description:
- We present a new analysis of the deepest pure-ultraviolet (UV) observations with the highest angular resolution ever performed. A set of 12 exposures with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) WFPC2 and F160BW filter obtained in parallel observing mode, which cover ~12arcmin^2^ in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), north of the bar and in the 'general field' region of the LMC, contain stars with far-UV monochromatic magnitudes as faint as 22mag. The 198 detected UV sources represent an accumulated exposure of 2x10^4^s and reveal stars as faint as m_UV_=~20mag. We combine these observations with deep UBVI charge-coupled device (CCD) imaging of the same region reaching as faint as V=~26mag, and reselect probable optical counterparts for the UV sources. After a two-stage search-and-analysis process, we detect robust counterparts for 129 stars. These are mostly upper main-sequence stars, from early B to early A spectral classes, with several F stars. We point out the lack of blue supergiants, which could have been easily detected in our survey. We measure a foreground extinction E(B-V)=~0.08mag by Galactic dust and a surface density of star formation rate twice the average Galactic value. These observations indicate that relatively recent star formation took place even off the bar of the LMC.

- Description:
- We use multi-wavelength, matched aperture, integrated photometry from the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX), the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, and the RC3 to estimate the physical properties of 166 nearby galaxies hosting 168 well-observed Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia). The ultraviolet (UV) imaging of local SN Ia hosts from GALEX allows a direct comparison with higher-redshift hosts measured at optical wavelengths that correspond to the rest-frame UV. Our data corroborate well-known features that have been seen in other SN Ia samples. Specifically, hosts with active star formation produce brighter and slower SNe Ia on average, and hosts with luminosity-weighted ages older than 1Gyr produce on average more faint, fast, and fewer bright, slow SNe Ia than younger hosts. New results include that in our sample, the faintest and fastest SNe Ia occur only in galaxies exceeding a stellar mass threshold of ~10^10^M_{sun}_, leading us to conclude that their progenitors must arise in populations that are older and/or more metal rich than the general SN Ia population.

- Description:
- We study a set of 3319 galaxies in the redshift interval 0.04<z<0.15 Herschel/SPIRE 250{mu}m band. Total infrared (TIR) luminosities derived from HerS and Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) photometry allow us to compare infrared and optical estimates of SFR with unprecedented statistics for diverse classes of galaxies. We find excellent agreement between TIR-derived and emission line-based SFRs for H ii galaxies. Other classes, such as active galaxies and evolved galaxies, exhibit systematic discrepancies between optical and TIR SFRs. We demonstrate that these offsets are attributable primarily to survey biases and the large intrinsic uncertainties of the D_n_4000- and colour-based optical calibrations used to estimate the SDSS SFRs of these galaxies. Using a classification scheme which expands upon popular emission-line methods, we demonstrate that emission-line galaxies with uncertain classifications include a population of massive, dusty, metal-rich star-forming systems that are frequently neglected in existing studies. We also study the capabilities of infrared selection of star-forming galaxies. FIR selection reveals a substantial population of galaxies dominated by cold dust which are missed by the long-wavelength WISE bands. Our results demonstrate that Herschel large-area surveys offer the means to construct large, relatively complete samples of local star-forming galaxies with accurate estimates of SFR that can be used to study the interplay between nuclear activity and star formation.
