Journal ArticleDOI
The Mass-Metallicity Relation at z ≃ 8: Direct-method Metallicity Constraints and Near-future Prospects
Tucker Jones,Ryan L. Sanders,Guido Roberts-Borsani,Richard S. Ellis,Nicolas Laporte,Tommaso Treu,Yuichi Harikane +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, Jones et al. estimate gas-phase oxygen abundances in five galaxies at z = 7.1-9.1 using the direct Te method and show that the typical abundances are 7.9 (∼0.2 times the solar value) and an evolution of 0.9 ± 0.5 dex in oxygen abundance at fixed stellar mass from z ≃ 8 to 0.2
Journal ArticleDOI
Discovery of Strongly Inverted Metallicity Gradients in Dwarf Galaxies at $z$$\sim$2
Xin Wang,Tucker Jones,Tommaso Treu,Jessie Hirtenstein,Gabriel B. Brammer,Emanuele Daddi,Xiao-Lei Meng,Takahiro Morishita,Louis E. Abramson,Alaina Henry,Yingjie Peng,Kasper B. Schmidt,Keren Sharon,Michele Trenti,Benedetta Vulcani +14 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the first sub-kiloparsec spatial resolution measurements of strongly inverted gas-phase metallicity gradients in two dwarf galaxies at 2.1 and 2.5 kpc were reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Absorption Line Spectroscopy of Gravitationally-Lensed Galaxies: Further Constraints on the Escape Fraction of Ionizing Photons at High Redshift
Nicha Leethochawalit,Tucker Jones,Richard S. Ellis,Richard S. Ellis,Richard S. Ellis,Daniel P. Stark,Adi Zitrin +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the covering fraction of low-ionization gas, measured via deep absorption line spectroscopy, as a proxy to estimate the fraction of ionizing photons escaping from high-redshift star-forming galaxies.
Journal ArticleDOI
HST Grism Observations of a Gravitationally Lensed Redshift 10 Galaxy
Austin Hoag,Marusa Bradac,Gabriel B. Brammer,Kuang-Han Huang,Tommaso Treu,Charlotte Mason,Marco Castellano,Marcella Di Criscienzo,Tucker Jones,Patrick L. Kelly,Laura Pentericci,Russell E. Ryan,Kasper B. Schmidt,Michele Trenti +13 more
TL;DR: In this article, deep spectroscopic observations of a Lyman-break galaxy candidate (hereafter MACS1149-JD) at the WFC3/IR grisms were taken at 4 distinct position angles, totaling 34 orbits with the G141 grism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dust in the Wind: Composition and Kinematics of Galaxy Outflows at the Peak Epoch of Star Formation
TL;DR: Jones et al. as discussed by the authors used the Keck/ESI echellete spectra of nine gravitationally lensed z ≃ 2-3 star-forming galaxies, probing a range of absorption transitions.
