Journal ArticleDOI
Star Formation at z=2.481 in the Lensed Galaxy SDSS J1110+6459: Star Formation down to 30 parsec scales
Traci L. Johnson,Jane R. Rigby,Keren Sharon,Michael D. Gladders,Michael Florian,Matthew B. Bayliss,Eva Wuyts,Katherine E. Whitaker,Rachael Livermore,Katherine T. Murray +9 more
TL;DR: Measurements of the surface density of star formation, the star-forming clump luminosity function, and the clump size distribution function, for the lensed galaxy SGAS J111020.0+645950.8 suggest that current telescopes have not yet resolved the critical size scales of star-formation activity in galaxies over most of cosmic time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Theoretical ISM Pressure and Electron Density Diagnostics for Local and High-redshift Galaxies
Lisa J. Kewley,David C. Nicholls,Ralph S. Sutherland,Jane R. Rigby,Ayan Acharya,Michael A. Dopita,Matthew B. Bayliss +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for All Sky Astrophysics in 3D (ASTRO 3D), through project No. CE170100013.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neutral gas properties of Lyman continuum emitting galaxies: Column densities and covering fractions from UV absorption lines
TL;DR: In this article, the authors constrain the HI covering fractions and column densities using ultraviolet HI and metal absorption lines of 18 star-forming galaxies which have Lyman series observations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Accurately predicting the escape fraction of ionizing photons using restframe ultraviolet absorption lines
John Chisholm,Simon Gazagnes,Daniel Schaerer,Anne Verhamme,Jane R. Rigby,Matthew B. Bayliss,Keren Sharon,Michael D. Gladders,Håkon Dahle +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the far-ultraviolet (UV) H I (Lyman series) and low-ionization metal absorption lines of nine low-redshift, confirmed Lyman continuum emitting galaxies to predict the escape fraction of ionizing photons.
Journal ArticleDOI
Turning back the clock: inferring the history of the eight o'clock arc*
Steven L. Finkelstein,Casey Papovich,Gregory Rudnick,Eiichi Egami,Emeric Le Floc'h,Marcia J. Rieke,Jane R. Rigby,Christopher N. A. Willmer +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, an optical and near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopic study of the ultraviolet-luminous z = 2.73 galaxy, the 8 o'clock arc, is presented.
