The HETDEX Pilot Survey. III. The Low Metallicities Of High-Redshift Ly Alpha Galaxies

Finkelstein, Steven L.; Hill, Gary J.; Gebhardt, Karl; Adams, Joshua; Blanc, Guillermo A.; Papovich, Casey; Ciardullo, Robin; Drory, Niv; Gawiser, Eric; Gronwall, Caryl; Schneider, Donald P.; Tran, Kim-Vy (2011-03)

We present the results of Keck/NIRSPEC spectroscopic observations of three Ly alpha emitting galaxies (LAEs) at z similar to 2.3 discovered with the HETDEX pilot survey. We detect H alpha, [OIII], and H beta emission from ...

A New Z=0 Metagalactic Ultraviolet Background Limit

Adams, Joshua J.; Uson, Juan M.; Hill, Gary J.; MacQueen, Phillip J. (2011-02)

We present new integral-field spectroscopy in the outskirts of two nearby, edge-on, late-type galaxies to search for the H alpha emission that is expected from the exposure of their hydrogen gas to the metagalactic ultraviolet ...

A Petal Of The Sunflower: Photometry Of The Stellar Tidal Stream In The Halo Of Messier 63 (NGC 5055)

Chonis, Taylor S.; Martinez-Delgado, David; Gabany, R. Jay; Majewski, Steven R.; Hill, Gary J.; Gralak, Ray; Trujillo, Ignacio (2011-11)

We present deep surface photometry of a very faint, giant arc-loop feature in the halo of the nearby spiral galaxy NGC 5055 (M63) that is consistent with being a part of a stellar stream resulting from the disruption of a ...

The HETDEX Pilot Survey. I. Survey Design, Performance, and Catalog of Emission-Line Galaxies

Adams, Joshua J.; Blanc, Guillermo A.; Hill, Gary J.; Gebhardt, Karl; Drory, Niv; Hao, Lei; Bender, Ralf; Byun, Joyce; Ciardullo, Robin; Cornell, Mark E.; Finkelstein, Steven L.; Fry, Alex; Gawiser, Eric; Gronwall, Caryl; Hopp, Ulrich; Jeong, Donghui; Kelz, Andreas; Kelzenberg, Ralf; Komatsu, Eiichiro; MacQueen, Phillip J.; Murphy, Jeremy; Odoms, P. Samuel; Roth, Martin; Schneider, Donald P.; Tufts, Joseph R.; Wilkinson, Christopher P. (2011-01)

We present a catalog of emission-line galaxies selected solely by their emission-line fluxes using awide-field integral field spectrograph. This work is partially motivated as a pilot survey for the upcoming Hobby-Eberly ...
