The HETDEX Pilot Survey. III. The Low Metallicities Of High-Redshift Ly Alpha Galaxies
(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 ...
The HETDEX Pilot Survey. II. The Evolution Of The Ly Alpha Escape Fraction From The Ultraviolet Slope And Luminosity Function Of 1.9 < Z < 3.8 Laes
(2011-07)
We study the escape of Ly alpha photons from Ly alpha emitting galaxies (LAEs) and the overall galaxy population using a sample of 99 LAEs at 1.9 < z < 3.8 detected through integral-field spectroscopy of blank fields by ...
A New Z=0 Metagalactic Ultraviolet Background Limit
(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)
(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
(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 ...
