The Fate of Lyman Photons in Local Starburst: New Acs/hst Images
We review the imaging and spectroscopic properties of the Lyα emission in starburst galaxies. The Lyα photons escape is largely driven by kinematical and orientation effects related to the presence of large scale expanding shells of neutral hydrogen. The various Lyα profiles can be linked to the evolutionary state of the starburst. Our recent Lyα imaging study using the HST-ACS is presented her...
متن کاملGas-rich Local Dwarf Star-forming Galaxies and Their Connection with the Distant Universe
I discuss the properties of gas-rich forming galaxies. I particularly emphasize the latest results on Lyα emission that are relevant to the search of distant young galaxies. The interdependance of the Lyα escape with the properties of the ISM in starburst galaxies is outlined. A new model from G. Tenorio-Tagle and his collaborators explain Lyα profiles in starburst galaxies from the hydrodynami...
متن کاملKeck Spectroscopy of Redshift z ∼ 3 Galaxies in the Hubble Deep Field
We have obtained spectra with the 10-m Keck telescope of a sample of 24 galaxies having colors consistent with star-forming galaxies at redshifts 2 ∼z ∼ 4.5 in the Hubble Deep Field (HDF). Eleven of these galaxies are confirmed to be at high redshift (zmed = 3.0), one is at z = 0.5, and the other 12 have uncertain redshifts but have spectra consistent with their being at z > 2. The spectra of t...
متن کاملStructure and Evolution of Starburst and Normal Galaxies
A comparative study of the rest-frame morphology and structural properties of optically selected starburst galaxies at redshift z . 1 is carried out using multi-waveband (BV iz) high resolution images taken by the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) as part of the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey (GOODS). We classify galaxies into starburst, early and late types by comparing their observed...
متن کاملStarburst Intensity Limit of Galaxies at z ≃ 5 − 6
The peak star formation intensity in starburst galaxies does not vary significantly from the local universe to redshift z∼6. We arrive at this conclusion through new surface brightness measurements of 47 starburst galaxies at z≃5−6, doubling the redshift range for such observations. These galaxies are spectroscopically confirmed in the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (HUDF) through the GRism ACS progra...
