The Lyman Alpha Reference Sample. Ii. Hubble Space Telescope Imaging Results, Integrated Properties, And Trends

Hakim Atek

We report new results regarding the Ly alpha output of galaxies, derived from the Lyman Alpha Reference Sample, and focused on Hubble Space Telescope imaging. For 14 galaxies we present intensity images in Ly alpha, H alpha, and UV, and maps of H alpha/H b ...

The first Frontier Fields cluster: 4.5 mu m excess in a z similar to 8 galaxy candidate in Abell 2744

Johan Richard, Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Hakim Atek, Benjamin Yvan Alexandre Clement

Aims. We present in this letter the first analysis of a: 8 galaxy candidate found in the Hubble and Spitzer imaging data of Abell 2744 as part of the Hubble Frontier Fields legacy program. Methods. We applied the most commonly used methods to select except ...

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 ...

Mass and magnification maps for the Hubble Space Telescope Frontier Fields clusters: implications for high-redshift studies

Johan Richard, Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Hakim Atek, Mathilde Jauzac, Benjamin Yvan Alexandre Clement

Extending over three Hubble Space Telescope (HST) cycles, the Hubble Frontier Fields (HFF) initiative constitutes the largest commitment ever of HST time to the exploration of the distant Universe via gravitational lensing by massive galaxy clusters. Here, ...

Hubble Frontier Fields: a high-precision strong-lensing analysis of galaxy cluster MACSJ0416.1-2403 using similar to 200 multiple images

Johan Richard, Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Hakim Atek, Richard Massey, Markus Rexroth, Mathilde Jauzac, Benjamin Yvan Alexandre Clement

We present a high-precision mass model of the galaxy cluster MACSJ0416.1-2403, based on a strong-gravitational-lensing analysis of the recently acquired Hubble Space Telescope Frontier Fields (HFF) imaging data. Taking advantage of the unprecedented depth ...

Influence of physical galaxy properties on Ly alpha escape in star-forming galaxies

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Hakim Atek

Context. Among the different observational techniques used to select high-redshift galaxies, the hydrogen recombination line Lyman-alpha (Ly alpha) is of particular interest because it gives access to the measurement of cosmological quantities such as the ...

Probing the z> 6 universe with the first Hubble frontier fields cluster A2744

Johan Richard, Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Hakim Atek, Mathilde Jauzac, Benjamin Yvan Alexandre Clement

The Hubble Frontier Fields program combines the capabilities of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) with the gravitational lensing of massive galaxy clusters to probe the distant universe to an unprecedented depth. Here, we present the results of the first co ...

Hubble Space Telescope Grism Spectroscopy Of Extreme Starbursts Across Cosmic Time: The Role Of Dwarf Galaxies In The Star Formation History Of The Universe

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Hakim Atek, Patrick Mccarthy

Near infrared slitless spectroscopy with the Wide Field Camera 3, on board the Hubble Space Telescope, offers a unique opportunity to study low-mass galaxy populations at high redshift (z similar to 1-2). While most high-z surveys are biased toward massive ...

Lensed Type Ia supernovae as probes of cluster mass models

Johan Richard, Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Hakim Atek

Using three magnified Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) detected behind CLASH (Cluster Lensing and Supernovae with Hubble) clusters, we perform a first pilot study to see whether standardizable candles can be used to calibrate cluster mass maps created from stro ...

Predicting Future Space Near-Ir Grism Surveys Using The Wfc3 Infrared Spectroscopic Parallels Survey

Hakim Atek, Patrick Mccarthy

We present near-infrared emission line counts and luminosity functions from the Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field Camera 3 Infrared Spectroscopic Parallels (WISP) program for 29 fields (0.037 deg(2)) observed using both the G102 and G141 grism. Altogether ...

Uvudf: Ultraviolet Imaging Of The Hubble Ultra Deep Field With Wide-Field Camera 3

Hakim Atek

We present an overview of a 90 orbit Hubble Space Telescope treasury program to obtain near-ultraviolet imaging of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field using the Wide Field Camera 3 UVIS detector with the F225W, F275W, and F336W filters. This survey is designed to: ...

Low Masses And High Redshifts: The Evolution Of The Mass-Metallicity Relation

Hakim Atek, Patrick Mccarthy

We present the first robust measurement of the high redshift mass-metallicity (MZ) relation at 10(8) less than or similar to M/M-circle dot less than or similar to 10(10), obtained by stacking spectra of 83 emission-line galaxies with secure redshifts betw ...

HST/WFC3 Near-Infrared spectroscopy of quenched galaxies at z~1.5 from the WISP Survey: Stellar population properties

Hakim Atek

We combine Hubble Space Telescope (HST) G102 and G141 near-IR (NIR) grism spectroscopy with HST/WFC3UVIS, HST/WFC3-IR, and Spitzer/IRAC [3.6 mu m] photometry to assemble a sample ofmassive (log(M-star/M-circle dot) similar to 11.0) and quenched (specific s ...
