Spatial Variation in Strong Line Ratios and Physical Conditions in Two Strongly-Lensed Galaxies at z~1.4

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined two sources, SDSS J1723+3411 and SDSs J2340+2947, using HST WFC3/IR grism data and supporting spatially-unresolved spectroscopy from several ground-based instruments to explore the size of spatial variations in observed strong emission line ratios like O32, R23, which are sensitive to ionization parameter and metallicity, and the Balmer decrement as an indicator of reddening.
Journal ArticleDOI

Resolving the H i in damped Lyman α systems that power star formation

TL;DR: In this article , integral field spectroscopy of a bright, gravitationally lensed galaxy at a redshift of 2.7 with two foreground damped Lyman-${\alpha}$ systems is presented.

Carnegie Hubble Program: A Mid-Infrared Calibration of the Hubble Constant

TL;DR: Using a mid-infrared calibration of the Cepheid distance scale based on recent observations at 3.6 um with the Spitzer Space Telescope, the systematic uncertainty in H0 over that obtained by the HST Key Project has decreased by over a factor of three as mentioned in this paper.
