PROBING THE z > 6 UNIVERSE WITH THE FIRST HUBBLE FRONTIER FIELDS CLUSTER A2744

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

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

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

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

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 ...

Lensed Type Ia supernovae as probes of cluster mass models

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Hakim Atek, Johan Richard

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 ...

THE Ly alpha REFERENCE SAMPLE. I. SURVEY OUTLINE AND FIRST RESULTS FOR MARKARIAN 259

Hakim Atek

The Ly alpha Reference Sample (LARS) is a substantial program with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) that provides a sample of local universe laboratory galaxies in which to study the detailed astrophysics of the visibility and strength of the Ly alpha line ...

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 ...

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 ...

EDP Sciences2014

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 ...

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 ...
