Journal ArticleDOI
Resolved spectroscopy of gravitationally lensed galaxies: recovering coherent velocity fields in subluminous z ~ 2-3 galaxies
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the Keck laser guide star AO system and the OH-Suppressing Infra-Red Imaging Spectrograph integral field unit spectrograph to resolve kinematic and morphological detail in a sample with an unprecedented fidelity, in some cases achieving spatial resolutions of ≃100 pc.
Journal ArticleDOI
Keck spectroscopy of gravitationally lensed z ≃ 4 galaxies: Improved constraints on the escape fraction of ionizing photons
TL;DR: In this paper, a method for deriving the covering fraction of low-ionization gas as a function of outflow velocity was proposed to determine the role of galaxies in cosmic reionization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Resolved spectroscopy of gravitationally lensed galaxies: global dynamics and star-forming clumps on ∼100 pc scales at 1 < z < 4
Rachael Livermore,Rachael Livermore,Tucker Jones,Tucker Jones,Johan Richard,Richard G. Bower,A. M. Swinbank,Tiantian Yuan,Alastair C. Edge,Richard S. Ellis,Lisa J. Kewley,Ian Smail,Kristen Coppin,Harald Ebeling +13 more
TL;DR: In this paper, adaptive optics-assisted integral field spectroscopy around the Hα or Hβ lines of 12 gravitationally lensed galaxies obtained with VLT/SINFONI, Keck/OSIRIS and Gemini/NIFS is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
THE ORIGIN AND EVOLUTION OF METALLICITY GRADIENTS: PROBING THE MODE OF MASS ASSEMBLY AT z ≅ 2
TL;DR: In this article, the gas-phase metallicity gradient in four gravitationally lensed galaxies at z = 2.0-2.4 was measured using the Keck II telescope.
Journal ArticleDOI
The emission line properties of gravitationally lensed 1.5 < z < 5 galaxies
Johan Richard,Johan Richard,Tucker Jones,Richard S. Ellis,Daniel P. Stark,Rachael Livermore,Mark Swinbank +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, near-infrared spectroscopy for a sample of 28 gravitationally lensed star-forming galaxies in the redshift range 1.5 < z < 5, observed mostly with the Keck II telescope is presented.
