    Publication
    We present a very deep CO(3─2) observation of a massive, gas-rich, main sequence, barred spiral galaxy at z ≍ 1.52. Our data were taken with the …
  5. Resolving stellar populations, star formation, and ISM conditions with JWST in a large spiral galaxy at z \(\sim\) 2

    Publication
    Cosmic noon represents the prime epoch of galaxy assembly, and a sweet spot for observations with the James Webb Telescope (JWST) and ground-based near-IR integral-field …
  6. The ALMA-CRISTAL survey: Resolved kinematic studies of main sequence star-forming galaxies at 4

    Publication
    We present a detailed kinematic study of a sample of 32 massive (9.5 ⩽ log(M\(_{*}\)/M\(_{\odot}\)) ⩽ 10.9) main sequence star-forming galaxies (MS SFGs) at …
  7. Bursts of Star Formation and Radiation-driven Outflows Produce Efficient LyC Leakage from Dense Compact Star Clusters

    Publication
    The escape of LyC photons emitted by massive stars from the dense interstellar medium (ISM) of galaxies is a key bottleneck for cosmological reionization. The escape fraction varies …

    The [CII] 157.74 \(\mu\)m fine structure transition is one of the brightest and most well-studied emission lines in the far-infrared (FIR), produced in the …
  16. H I in Molecular Clouds: Irradiation by FUV Plus Cosmic Rays

    Publication
    We extend the analytic theory presented by Sternberg et al. and Bialy & Sternberg for the production of atomic hydrogen (H I) via far-ultraviolet (FUV) photodissociation at the …
