Narrowband Lyman - Continuum Imaging of Galaxies at Z ∼ 2 . 85
We present results from a survey for z ∼ 2.85 Lyman-Continuum (LyC) emission in the HS1549+1933 field and place constraints on the amount of ionizing radiation escaping from starforming galaxies. Using a custom narrowband filter (NB3420) tuned to wavelengths just below the Lyman limit at z ≥ 2.82, we probe the LyC spectral region of 49 Lyman break galaxies (LBGs) and 91 Lyα-emitters (LAEs) spec...
متن کاملThe Lyman continuum radiation escaping from galaxies
The Hα luminosity density of galaxies is used to calculate the local diffuse radiation field at the Lyman limit as resulting from star formation in the universe. The fraction of Lyman continuum radiation leaking out from galaxies through their neutral hydrogen is the most uncertain parameter of the calculation. A comparison of the diffuse radiation predicted from galaxies with that measured fro...
متن کاملLyman “bump” galaxies - I. Spectral energy distribution of galaxies with an escape of nebular Lyman continuum
It is essential to know galactic emissivity and spectrum of Lyman continuum (LyC) in order to understand the cosmic reionization. Here we consider an escape of nebular LyC from galaxies and examine the consequent spectral energy distribution. It is usually assumed that hydrogen nebular LyC mostly produced by bound-free transitions is consumed within photo-ionized nebulae (so-called “on-the-spot...
متن کاملDetections of Lyman Continuum from Star-forming Galaxies at Z ∼ 3 through Subaru/suprime-cam Narrow-band Imaging
Knowing the amount of ionizing photons from young star-forming galaxies is of particular importance to understanding the reionization process. Here we report initial results of Subaru/Suprime-Cam deep imaging observation with a special narrow-band filter to optimally trace ionizing radiation from galaxies at z > 3. The unique wide field-of-view of Suprime-Cam enabled us to search for ionizing p...
متن کاملDamped Lyman - Alpha Galaxies
Some results from an imaging program to identify low-redshift (0.09 < z < 1.63) damped Lyα (DLA) galaxies are presented. The standard paradigm that was widely accepted a decade ago, that DLA galaxies are the progenitors of luminous disk galaxies, is now being seriously challenged. The indisputable conclusion from imaging studies at low redshift is that the morphological types of DLA galaxies ar...
