Discovering extremely compact and metal-poor, star-forming dwarf galaxies out to z ~ 0.9 in the VIMOS Ultra-Deep Survey

Science

We report the discovery of 31 low-luminosity (−14.5 ≳ MAB(B) ≳ −18.8), extreme emission line galaxies (EELGs) at 0.2 ≲ z ≲ 0.9identified by their unusually high rest-frame equivalent widths (100 ≤ EW[O iii] ≤ 1700 Å) as part of the VIMOS Ultra Deep Survey (VUDS)....

Evidence of Very Low Metallicity and High Ionization State in a Strongly Lensed, Star-forming Dwarf Galaxy at z= 3.417

Science

We investigate the gas-phase metallicity and Lyman continuum (LyC) escape fraction of a strongly gravitationally lensed, extreme emission-line galaxy at z = 3.417, J1000+0221S, recently discovered by the CANDELS team.   We derive ionization- and...

Non-parametric analysis of the rest-frame UV sizes and morphological disturbance amongst L* galaxies at 4 < z < 8

Science

We present the results of a study investigating the sizes and morphologies of redshift 4 < z < 8 galaxies in the CANDELS (Cosmic Assembly Near-infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey) GOODS-S (Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey southern field), HUDF...

The ASTRODEEP Frontier Fields catalogues: multiwavelength photometry and rest-frame properties

Uncategorized

The Frontier Fields survey is a pioneering observational program aimed at collecting photometric data, both from space (Hubble Space Telescope and Spitzer Space Telescope) and from ground-based facilities (VLT Hawk-I), for six deep fields pointing at clusters of...
