THE LYMAN ALPHA REFERENCE SAMPLE V. THE IMPACT OF NEUTRAL ISM KINEMATICS AND GEOMETRY ON Ly alpha ESCAPE

We present high-resolution far-UV spectroscopy of the 14 galaxies of the Ly alpha Reference Sample; a sample of strongly star-forming galaxies at low redshifts (0.028 < z < 0.18). We compare the derived properties to global properties derived from multi-ba ...

Physical properties and evolutionary state of the Lyman alpha emitting starburst galaxy IRAS 08339+6517

Hakim Atek

Context. Though Ly alpha emission is one of the most used tracers of massive star formation at high redshift, it is strongly affected by neutral gas radiation transfer effects. A correct understanding of these effects is required to properly quantify the s ...

Are long gamma-ray bursts biased tracers of star formation? Clues from the host galaxies of the Swift/BAT6 complete sample of bright LGRBs II. Star formation rates and metallicities at z < 1

Hakim Atek

Aims. Long gamma-ray bursts (LGRBs) are associated with the deaths of massive stars and might therefore be a potentially powerful tool for tracing cosmic star formation. However, especially at low redshifts (z < 1.5) LGRBs seem to prefer particular types o ...
