The physics of the intergalactic medium

AA Meiksin - Reviews of modern physics, 2009 - APS
Intergalactic space is filled with a pervasive medium of ionized gas, the intergalactic medium
(IGM). A residual neutral fraction is detected in the spectra of quasistellar objects at both low …

The far-ultraviolet continuum slope as a Lyman Continuum escape estimator at high redshift

J Chisholm, A Saldana-Lopez, S Flury… - Monthly Notices of …, 2022 - academic.oup.com
Most of the hydrogen in the intergalactic medium (IGM) was rapidly ionized at high redshifts.
While observations have established that reionization occurred, observational constraints on …

Escape fraction of ionizing photons during reionization: effects due to supernova feedback and runaway OB stars

T Kimm, R Cen - The Astrophysical Journal, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
The fraction of hydrogen ionizing photons esca** from galaxies into the intergalactic
medium is a critical ingredient in the theory of reionization. We use two zoomed-in, high …

The SINS survey: SINFONI integral field spectroscopy of z∼ 2 star-forming galaxies

NMF Schreiber, R Genzel, N Bouché… - The Astrophysical …, 2009 - iopscience.iop.org
ABSTRACT We present the Spectroscopic Imaging survey in the near-infrared (near-IR) with
SINFONI (SINS) of high-redshift galaxies. With 80 objects observed and 63 detected in at …

Lyman continuum leaker candidates at z∼ 3–4 in the HDUV based on a spectroscopic sample of MUSE LAEs

Context. In recent years, a number of Lyman continuum (LyC) leaker candidates have been
found at intermediate redshifts, providing insight into how the Universe was reionised at …

Ionization state of inter-stellar medium in galaxies: evolution, SFR–M*Z dependence, and ionizing photon escape

K Nakajima, M Ouchi - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2014 - academic.oup.com
We present a systematic study for ionization state of inter-stellar medium in galaxies at z= 0–
with∼ 140 000 Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) galaxies and 108 intermediate-to high …

Using Lyman-α to detect galaxies that leak Lyman continuum

A Verhamme, I Orlitová, D Schaerer… - Astronomy & …, 2015 - aanda.org
Aims. We propose to infer the output of the ionising continuum-leaking properties of galaxies
based upon their Lyα line profiles. Methods. We carried out Lyα radiation transfer …

Comparison of Hα and UV star formation rates in the local volume: systematic discrepancies for dwarf galaxies

JC Lee, AG De Paz, C Tremonti… - The Astrophysical …, 2009 - iopscience.iop.org
Using a complete sample of∼ 300 star-forming galaxies within 11 Mpc of the Milky Way, we
evaluate the consistency between star formation rates (SFRs) inferred from the far ultraviolet …

The origin of the escape of Lyman α and ionizing photons in Lyman continuum emitters

S Gazagnes, J Chisholm, D Schaerer… - Astronomy & …, 2020 - aanda.org
Context. Identifying the physical mechanisms driving the escape of Lyman continuum (LyC)
photons is crucial for the search of Lyman continuum emitter (LCE) candidates. Aims. To …
