text: Distant luminous Lyman-α emitters (LAEs) are excellent targets for spectroscopic
observations of galaxies in the epoch of reionisation (EoR). We present deep high-resolution
(R = 5000) VLT/X-shooter observations, along with an extensive collection of photometric
data of COLA1, a proposed double peaked LAE at z = 6.6. We rule out the possibility
that COLA1’s emission line is an [OII] doublet at z = 1.475 on the basis of i)
the asymmetric red line-profile and flux ratio of the peaks (blue/red=0.31 ± 0.03)
and ii) an unphysical [OII]/Hα ratio ([OII]/Hα > 22). We show that COLA1’s observed
B-band flux is explained by a faint extended foreground LAE, for which we detect
Lyα and [OIII] at z = 2.142. We thus conclude that COLA1 is a real double-peaked
LAE at z = 6.593, the first discovered at z > 6. COLA1 is UV luminous (M1500 = −21.6 ± 0.3),
has a high equivalent width (EW0,Lyα = 120−40+50 Å) and very compact Lyα emission
(r50,Lyα = 0.33−0.04+0.07 kpc). Relatively weak inferred Hβ+[OIII] line-emission
from Spitzer/IRAC indicates an extremely low metallicity of Z < 1/20 Z⊙ or reduced
strength of nebular lines due to high escape of ionising photons. The small Lyα
peak separation of 220 ± 20 km s−1 implies a low HI column density and an ionising
photon escape fraction of ≈15 − 30%, providing the first direct evidence that
such galaxies contribute actively to the reionisation of the Universe at z > 6.
Based on simple estimates, we find that COLA1 could have provided just enough
photons to reionise its own ≈0.3 pMpc (2.3 cMpc) bubble, allowing the blue Lyα
line to be observed. However, we also discuss alternative scenarios explaining
the detected double peaked nature of COLA1. Our results show that future high-resolution
observations of statistical samples of double peaked LAEs at z > 5 are a promising
probe of the occurrence of ionised regions around galaxies in the EoR.

text: We investigate the clustering properties of ∼7000 H β + [O III] and [O II]
narrowband-selected emitters at z ∼ 0.8–4.7 from the High-z Emission Line Survey.
We find clustering lengths, r0, of 1.5–4.0 h−1 Mpc and minimum dark matter halo
masses of 1010.7–12.1 M⊙ for our z = 0.8–3.2 H β + [O III] emitters and r0 ∼ 2.0–8.3
h−1 Mpc and halo masses of 1011.5–12.6 M⊙ for our z = 1.5–4.7 [O II] emitters.
We find r0 to strongly increase both with increasing line luminosity and redshift.
By taking into account the evolution of the characteristic line luminosity, L⋆(z),
and using our model predictions of halo mass given r0, we find a strong, redshift-independent
increasing trend between L/L⋆(z) and minimum halo mass. The faintest H β + [O III]
emitters are found to reside in 109.5 M⊙ haloes and the brightest emitters in
1013.0 M⊙ haloes. For [O II] emitters, the faintest emitters are found in 1010.5
M⊙ haloes and the brightest emitters in 1012.6 M⊙ haloes. A redshift-independent
stellar mass dependency is also observed where the halo mass increases from 1011
to 1012.5 M⊙ for stellar masses of 108.5 to 1011.5 M⊙, respectively. We investigate
the interdependencies of these trends by repeating our analysis in a Lline−Mstar
grid space for our most populated samples (H β + [O III] z = 0.84 and [O II] z
= 1.47) and find that the line luminosity dependency is stronger than the stellar
mass dependency on halo mass. For L > L⋆ emitters at all epochs, we find a relatively
flat trend with halo masses of 1012.5–13 M⊙, which may be due to quenching mechanisms
in massive haloes that is consistent with a transitional halo mass predicted by
models.

text: We investigate the morphology of the [C II] emission in a sample of ‘normal’
star-forming galaxies at 5 < z < 7.2 in relation to their UV (rest-frame) counterpart.
We use new Atacama Large Millimetre/submillimetre Array (ALMA) observations of
galaxies at z ∼ 6–7, as well as a careful re-analysis of archival ALMA data. In
total 29 galaxies were analysed, 21 of which are detected in [C II]. For several
of the latter the [C II] emission breaks into multiple components. Only a fraction
of these [C II] components, if any, is associated with the primary UV systems,
while the bulk of the [C II] emission is associated either with fainter UV components,
or not associated with any UV counterpart at the current limits. By taking into
account the presence of all these components, we find that the L[CII]–SFR (star
formation rate) relation at early epochs is fully consistent with the local relation,
but it has a dispersion of 0.48 ± 0.07 dex, which is about two times larger than
observed locally. We also find that the deviation from the local L[CII]–SFR relation
has a weak anticorrelation with the EW(Ly α). The morphological analysis also
reveals that [C II] emission is generally much more extended than the UV emission.
As a consequence, these primordial galaxies are characterized by a [C II] surface
brightness generally much lower than expected from the local Σ[CII]−ΣSFR relation.
These properties are likely a consequence of a combination of different effects,
namely gas metallicity, [C II] emission from obscured star-forming regions, strong
variations of the ionization parameter, and circumgalactic gas in accretion or
ejected by these primeval galaxies.

text: Deep narrow-band surveys have revealed a large population of faint Ly α emitters
(LAEs) in the distant Universe, but relatively little is known about the most
luminous sources (LLyα≳1042.7 erg s−1; LLyα≳L∗Lyα). Here we present the spectroscopic
follow-up of 21 luminous LAEs at z ∼ 2–3 found with panoramic narrow-band surveys
over five independent extragalactic fields (≈4 × 106 Mpc3 surveyed at z ∼ 2.2
and z ∼ 3.1). We use WHT/ISIS, Keck/DEIMOS, and VLT/X-SHOOTER to study these sources
using high ionization UV lines. Luminous LAEs at z ∼ 2–3 have blue UV slopes (β=−2.0+0.3−0.1)
and high Ly α escape fractions (50+20−15 per cent) and span five orders of magnitude
in UV luminosity (MUV ≈ −19 to −24). Many (70 per cent) show at least one high
ionization rest-frame UV line such as C IV, N V, C III], He II or O III], typically
blue-shifted by ≈100–200 km s−1 relative to Ly α. Their Ly α profiles reveal a
wide variety of shapes, including significant blue-shifted components and widths
from 200 to 4000 km s−1. Overall, 60 ± 11 per cent appear to be active galactic
nucleus (AGN) dominated, and at LLyα > 1043.3 erg s−1 and/or MUV < −21.5 virtually
all LAEs are AGNs with high ionization parameters (log U = 0.6 ± 0.5) and with
metallicities of ≈0.5 − 1 Z⊙. Those lacking signatures of AGNs (40 ± 11 per cent)
have lower ionization parameters (logU=−3.0+1.6−0.9 and log ξion = 25.4 ± 0.2)
and are apparently metal-poor sources likely powered by young, dust-poor ‘maximal’
starbursts. Our results show that luminous LAEs at z ∼ 2–3 are a diverse population
and that 2×L∗Lyα and 2×M∗UV mark a sharp transition in the nature of LAEs, from
star formation dominated to AGN dominated.

text: We present and explore deep narrow- and medium-band data obtained with the
Subaru and the Isaac Newton Telescopes in the ∼2 deg2 COSMOS field. We use these
data as an extremely wide, low-resolution (R ∼ 20–80) Integral Field Unit survey
to slice through the COSMOS field and obtain a large sample of ∼4000 Ly α emitters
(LAEs) from z ∼ 2 to 6 in 16 redshift slices (SC4K). We present new Ly α luminosity
functions (LFs) covering a comoving volume of ∼108 Mpc3. SC4K extensively complements
ultradeep surveys, jointly covering over 4 dex in Ly α luminosity and revealing
a global (2.5 < z < 6) synergy LF with α=−1.93+0.12−0.12, log10Φ∗Lyα=−3.45+0.22−0.29 Mpc−3,
and log10L∗Lyα=42.93+0.15−0.11 erg s−1. The Schechter component of the Ly α LF
reveals a factor ∼5 rise in L∗Lyα and a ∼7 × decline in Φ∗Lyα from z ∼ 2 to 6.
The data reveal an extra power-law (or Schechter) component above LLy α ≈ 1043.3 erg s−1
at z ∼ 2.2–3.5 and we show that it is partially driven by X-ray and radio active
galactic nucleus (AGN), as their Ly α LF resembles the excess. The power-law component
vanishes and/or is below our detection limits above z > 3.5, likely linked with
the evolution of the AGN population. The Ly α luminosity density rises by a factor
∼2 from z ∼ 2 to 3 but is then found to be roughly constant (1.1+0.2−0.2×1040 erg s−1 Mpc−3)
to z ∼ 6, despite the ∼0.7 dex drop in ultraviolet (UV) luminosity density. The
Ly α/UV luminosity density ratio rises from 4 ± 1 per cent to 30 ± 6 per cent
from z ∼ 2.2 to 6. Our results imply a rise of a factor of ≈2 in the global ionization
efficiency (ξion) and a factor ≈4 ± 1 in the Ly α escape fraction from z ∼ 2 to
6, hinting for evolution in both the typical burstiness/stellar populations and
even more so in the typical interstellar medium conditions allowing Ly α photons
to escape.

text: Observations show that star-forming galaxies reside on a tight 3D plane between
mass, gas-phase metallicity, and star formation rate (SFR), which can be explained
by the interplay between metal-poor gas inflows, SFR and outflows. However, different
metals are released on different time-scales, which may affect the slope of this
relation. Here, we use central, star-forming galaxies with Mstar = 109.0–10.5
M⊙ from the EAGLE hydrodynamical simulation to examine 3D relations between mass,
SFR, and chemical enrichment using absolute and relative C, N, O, and Fe abundances.
We show that the scatter is smaller when gas-phase α-enhancement is used rather
than metallicity. A similar plane also exists for stellar α-enhancement, implying
that present-day specific SFRs are correlated with long time-scale star formation
histories. Between z = 0 and 1, the α-enhancement plane is even more insensitive
to redshift than the plane using metallicity. However, it evolves at z > 1 due
to lagging iron yields. At fixed mass, galaxies with higher SFRs have star formation
histories shifted towards late times, are more α-enhanced, and this α-enhancement
increases with redshift as observed. These findings suggest that relations between
physical properties inferred from observations may be affected by systematic variations
in α-enhancements.

text: Asteroseismology provides global stellar parameters such as masses, radii,
or surface gravities using mean global seismic parameters and effective temperature
for thousands of low-mass stars (0.8 M⊙ < M < 3 M⊙). This methodology has been
successfully applied to stars in which acoustic modes excited by turbulent convection
are measured. Other methods such as the Flicker technique can also be used to
determine stellar surface gravities, but only works for log g above 2.5 dex. In
this work, we present a new metric called FliPer (Flicker in spectral power density,
in opposition to the standard Flicker measurement which is computed in the time
domain); it is able to extend the range for which reliable surface gravities can
be obtained (0.1 < log g < 4.6 dex) without performing any seismic analysis for
stars brighter than Kp < 14. FliPer takes into account the average variability
of a star measured in the power density spectrum in a given range of frequencies.
However, FliPer values calculated on several ranges of frequency are required
to better characterize a star. Using a large set of asteroseismic targets it is
possible to calibrate the behavior of surface gravity with FliPer through machine
learning. This calibration made with a random forest regressor covers a wide range
of surface gravities from main-sequence stars to subgiants and red giants, with
very small uncertainties from 0.04 to 0.1 dex. FliPer values can be inserted in
automatic global seismic pipelines to either give an estimation of the stellar
surface gravity or to assess the quality of the seismic results by detecting any
outliers in the obtained νmax values. FliPer also constrains the surface gravities
of main-sequence dwarfs using only long-cadence data for which the Nyquist frequency
is too low to measure the acoustic-mode properties.

text: We report on the confirmation and mass determination of π Men c, the first
transiting planet discovered by NASA’s TESS space mission. π Men is a naked-eye
(V = 5.65 mag), quiet G0 V star that was previously known to host a sub-stellar
companion (π Men b) on a longperiod (Porb = 2091 days), eccentric (e = 0.64) orbit.
Using TESS time-series photometry, combined with Gaia data, published UCLES at
AAT Doppler measurements, and archival HARPS at ESO-3.6m radial velocities, we
found that π Men c is a close-in planet with an orbital period of Porb = 6.27
days, a mass of Mc = 4.52 ± 0.81 M⊕, and a radius of Rc = 2.06 ± 0.03 R⊕. Based
on the planet’s orbital period and size, π Men c is a super-Earth located at,
or close to, the radius gap, while its mass and bulk density suggest it may have
held on to a significant atmosphere. Because of the brightness of the host star,
this system is highly suitable for a wide range of further studies to characterize
the planetary atmosphere and dynamical properties. We also performed an asteroseismic
analysis of the TESS data and detected a hint of power excess consistent with
the seismic values expected for this star, although this result depends on the
photometric aperture used to extract the light curve. This marginal detection
is expected from pre-launch simulations hinting at the asteroseismic potential
of the TESS mission for longer, multi-sector observations and/or for more evolved
bright stars.

text: We report the discovery and characterization of HD 89345b (K2-234b; EPIC 248777106b),
a Saturn-sized planet orbiting a slightly evolved star. HD 89345 is a bright star
(V = 9.3 mag) observed by the K2 mission with 1 min time sampling. It exhibits
solar-like oscillations. We conducted asteroseismology to determine the parameters
of the star, finding the mass and radius to be 1.12+0.04−0.01M⊙ and 1.657+0.020−0.004R⊙,
respectively. The star appears to have recently left the main sequence, based
on the inferred age, 9.4+0.4−1.3Gyr, and the non-detection of mixed modes. The
star hosts a ‘warm Saturn’ (P = 11.8 d, Rp = 6.86 ± 0.14 R⊕). Radial-velocity
follow-up observations performed with the FIbre-fed Echelle Spectrograph, HARPS,
and HARPS-N spectrographs show that the planet has a mass of 35.7 ± 3.3 M⊕. The
data also show that the planet’s orbit is eccentric (e ≈ 0.2). An investigation
of the rotational splitting of the oscillation frequencies of the star yields
no conclusive evidence on the stellar inclination angle. We further obtained Rossiter–McLaughlin
observations, which result in a broad posterior of the stellar obliquity. The
planet seems to confirm to the same patterns that have been observed for other
sub-Saturns regarding planet mass and multiplicity, orbital eccentricity, and
stellar metallicity.

text: Stripped-envelope stars form in binary systems after losing mass through Roche-lobe
overflow. They bear astrophysical significance as sources of UV and ionizing radiation
in older stellar populations and, if sufficiently massive, as stripped supernova
progenitors. Binary evolutionary models predict that they are common, but only
a handful of subdwarfs with B-type companions are known. The question is whether
a large population of such systems has evaded detection as a result of biases,
or whether the model predictions are wrong. We reanalyze the well-studied post-interaction
binary φ Persei. Recently, new data have improved the orbital solution of the
system, which contains an ~1.2M⊙ stripped-envelope star and a rapidly rotating
~9.6M⊙ Be star. We compare with an extensive grid of evolutionary models using
a Bayesian approach and constrain the initial masses of the progenitor to 7.2
± 0.4M⊙ for the stripped star and 3.8 ± 0.4M⊙ for the Be star. The system must
have evolved through near-conservative mass transfer. These findings are consistent
with earlier studies. The age we obtain, 57 ± 9 Myr, is in excellent agreement
with the age of the α Persei cluster. We note that neither star was initially
massive enough to produce a core-collapse supernova, but mass exchange pushed
the Be star above the mass threshold. We find that the subdwarf is overluminous
for its mass by almost an order of magnitude, compared to the expectations for
a helium core burning star. We can only reconcile this if the subdwarf resides
in a late phase of helium shell burning, which lasts only 2–3% of the total lifetime
as a subdwarf. Assuming continuous star formation implies that up to ~50 less
evolved, dimmer subdwarfs exist for each system similar to φ Persei, but have
evaded detection so far. Our findings can be interpreted as a strong indication
that a substantial population of stripped-envelope stars indeed exists, but has
so far evaded detection because of observational biases and lack of large-scale
systematic searches.

text: Recent surveys of the Magellanic Clouds have revealed a subtype of Wolf–Rayet
(WR) star with peculiar properties. WN3/O3 spectra exhibit both WR-like emission
and O3 V-like absorption – but at lower luminosity than O3 V or WN stars. We examine
the projected spatial distribution of WN3/O3 stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud
as compared to O-type stars. Surprisingly, WN3/O3 stars are among the most isolated
of all classes of massive stars; they have a distribution similar to red supergiants
dominated by initial masses of 10–15 M⊙, and are far more dispersed than classical
WR stars or luminous blue variables. Their lack of association with clusters of
O-type stars suggests strongly that WN3/O3 stars are not the descendants of single
massive stars (30 M⊙ or above). Instead, they are likely products of interacting
binaries at lower initial mass (10–18 M⊙). Comparison with binary models suggests
a probable origin with primaries in this mass range that were stripped of their
H envelopes through non-conservative mass transfer by a low-mass secondary. We
show that model spectra and positions on the Hertzsprung–Russell diagram for binary-stripped
stars are consistent with WN3/O3 stars. Monitoring radial velocities with high-resolution
spectra can test for low-mass companions or runaway velocities. With lower initial
mass and environments that avoid very massive stars, the WN3/O3 stars fit expectations
for progenitors of Type Ib and possibly Type Ibn supernovae.

text: Stars stripped of their hydrogen-rich envelope through interaction with a
binary companion are generally not considered when accounting for ionizing radiation
from stellar populations, despite the expectation that stripped stars emit hard
ionizing radiation, form frequently, and live 10–100 times longer than single
massive stars. We compute the first grid of evolutionary and spectral models specially
made for stars stripped in binaries for a range of progenitor masses (2–20 M⊙)
and metallicities ranging from solar to values representative for pop II stars.
For stripped stars with masses in the range 0.3–7 M⊙, we find consistently high
effective temperatures (20 000–100 000 K, increasing with mass), small radii (0.2–1
R⊙), and high bolometric luminosities, comparable to that of their progenitor
before stripping. The spectra show a continuous sequence that naturally bridges
subdwarf-type stars at the low-mass end and Wolf-Rayet-like spectra at the high-mass
end. For intermediate masses we find hybrid spectral classes showing a mixture
of absorption and emission lines. These appear for stars with mass-loss rates
of 10−8−10−6 M⊙ yr−1, which have semi-transparent atmospheres. At low metallicity,
substantial hydrogen-rich layers are left at the surface and we predict spectra
that resemble O-type stars instead. We obtain spectra undistinguishable from subdwarfs
for stripped stars with masses up to 1.7 M⊙, which questions whether the widely
adopted canonical value of 0.47 M⊙ is uniformly valid. Only a handful of stripped
stars of intermediate mass have currently been identified observationally. Increasing
this sample will provide necessary tests for the physics of interaction, internal
mixing, and stellar winds. We use our model spectra to investigate the feasibility
to detect stripped stars next to an optically bright companion and recommend systematic
searches for their UV excess and possible emission lines, most notably HeII λ4686
in the optical and HeII λ1640 in the UV. Our models are publicly available for
further investigations or inclusion in spectral synthesis simulations.

text: "We present spectroscopic follow-up observations of CR7 with ALMA, targeted
at constraining the infrared (IR) continuum and [C II]158 mm line-emission at
high spatial resolution matched to the HST/WFC3 imaging. CR7 is a luminous Lyα
emitting galaxy at z = 6.6 that consists of three separated UV-continuum components.
Our observations reveal several well-separated components of [C II] emission.
The two most luminous components in [C II] coincide with the brightest UV components
(A and B), blueshifted by »150 km s−1 with respect to the\r\npeak of Lyα emission.
Other [C II] components are observed close to UV clumps B and C and are blueshifted
by »300 and ≈80 km s−1 with respect to the systemic redshift. We do not detect
FIR continuum emission due to dust with a 3σ limiting luminosity LIR T L d 35
K 3.1 10 = <´ 10 ( ) . This allows us to mitigate uncertainties in the dust-corrected
SFR and derive SFRs for the three UV clumps A, B, and C of 28, 5, and 7 M yr−1.
All clumps have [C II] luminosities consistent within the scatter observed in
the local relation between SFR and L[ ] C II , implying that strong Lyα emission
does not necessarily anti-correlate with [C II] luminosity. Combining\r\nour measurements
with the literature, we show that galaxies with blue UV slopes have weaker [C
II] emission at fixed SFR, potentially due to their lower metallicities and/or
higher photoionization. Comparison with hydrodynamical simulations suggests that
CR7ʼs clumps have metallicities of 0.1 Z Z 0.2 < < . The observed ISM structure
of CR7 indicates that we are likely witnessing the build up of a central galaxy
in the early universe through complex accretion of satellites."

text: We present a sample of ∼1000 emission-line galaxies at z = 0.4–4.7 from the
∼0.7deg2 High-z Emission-Line Survey in the Boötes field identified with a suite
of six narrow-band filters at ≈0.4–2.1 μm. These galaxies have been selected on
their Ly α (73), [O II] (285), H β/[O III] (387) or H α (362) emission line, and
have been classified with optical to near-infrared colours. A subsample of 98
sources have reliable redshifts from multiple narrow-band (e.g. [O II]–H α) detections
and/or spectroscopy. In this survey paper, we present the observations, selection
and catalogues of emitters. We measure number densities of Ly α, [O II], H β/[O III]
and H α and confirm strong luminosity evolution in star-forming galaxies from
z ∼ 0.4 to ∼5, in agreement with previous results. To demonstrate the usefulness
of dual-line emitters, we use the sample of dual [O II]–H α emitters to measure
the observed [O II]/H α ratio at z = 1.47. The observed [O II]/H α ratio increases
significantly from 0.40 ± 0.01 at z = 0.1 to 0.52 ± 0.05 at z = 1.47, which we
attribute to either decreasing dust attenuation with redshift, or due to a bias
in the (typically) fibre measurements in the local Universe that only measure
the central kpc regions. At the bright end, we find that both the H α and Ly α
number densities at z ≈ 2.2 deviate significantly from a Schechter form, following
a power law. We show that this is driven entirely by an increasing X-ray/active
galactic nucleus fraction with line luminosity, which reaches ≈100 per cent at
line luminosities L ≳ 3 × 1044 erg s−1.

text: We present the CAlibrating LYMan-α with Hα (CALYMHA) pilot survey and new
results on Lyman α (Lyα) selected galaxies at z ∼ 2. We use a custom-built Lyα
narrow-band filter at the Isaac Newton Telescope, designed to provide a matched
volume coverage to the z = 2.23 Hα HiZELS survey. Here, we present the first results
for the COSMOS and UDS fields. Our survey currently reaches a 3σ line flux limit
of ∼4 × 10−17 erg s−1 cm−2, and a Lyα luminosity limit of ∼1042.3 erg s−1. We
find 188 Lyα emitters over 7.3 × 105 Mpc3, but also find significant numbers of
other line-emitting sources corresponding to He II, C III] and C IV emission lines.
These sources are important contaminants, and we carefully remove them, unlike
most previous studies. We find that the Lyα luminosity function at z = 2.23 is
very well described by a Schechter function up to LLy α ≈ 1043 erg s−1 with L∗=1042.59+0.16−0.08
erg s−1, ϕ∗=10−3.09+0.14−0.34 Mpc−3 and α = −1.75 ± 0.25. Above LLy α ≈ 1043 erg
s−1, the Lyα luminosity function becomes power-law like, driven by X-ray AGN.
We find that Lyα-selected emitters have a high escape fraction of 37 ± 7 per cent,
anticorrelated with Lyα luminosity and correlated with Lyα equivalent width. Lyα
emitters have ubiquitous large (≈40 kpc) Lyα haloes, ∼2 times larger than their
Hα extents. By directly comparing our Lyα and Hα luminosity functions, we find
that the global/overall escape fraction of Lyα photons (within a 13 kpc radius)
from the full population of star-forming galaxies is 5.1 ± 0.2 per cent at the
peak of the star formation history. An extra 3.3 ± 0.3 per cent of Lyα photons
likely still escape, but at larger radii.

text: We study the production rate of ionizing photons of a sample of 588 Hα emitters
(HAEs) and 160 Lyman-α emitters (LAEs) at z = 2.2 in the COSMOS field in order
to assess the implied emissivity from galaxies, based on their ultraviolet (UV)
luminosity. By exploring the rest-frame Lyman Continuum (LyC) with GALEX/NUV data,
we find fesc < 2.8 (6.4) per cent through median (mean) stacking. By combining
the Hα luminosity density with intergalactic medium emissivity measurements from
absorption studies, we find a globally averaged 〈fesc〉 of 5.9+14.5−4.2 per cent
at z = 2.2 if we assume HAEs are the only source of ionizing photons. We find
similarly low values of the global 〈fesc〉 at z ≈ 3–5, also ruling out a high 〈fesc〉
at z < 5. These low escape fractions allow us to measure ξion, the number of produced
ionizing photons per unit UV luminosity, and investigate how this depends on galaxy
properties. We find a typical ξion ≈ 1024.77 ± 0.04 Hz erg−1 for HAEs and ξion
≈ 1025.14 ± 0.09 Hz erg−1 for LAEs. LAEs and low-mass HAEs at z = 2.2 show similar
values of ξion as typically assumed in the reionization era, while the typical
HAE is three times less ionizing. Due to an increasing ξion with increasing EW(Hα),
ξion likely increases with redshift. This evolution alone is fully in line with
the observed evolution of ξion between z ≈ 2 and 5, indicating a typical value
of ξion ≈ 1025.4 Hz erg−1 in the reionization era.

text: We use the hydrodynamical EAGLE simulation to study the magnitude and origin
of the scatter in the stellar mass–halo mass relation for central galaxies. We
separate cause and effect by correlating stellar masses in the baryonic simulation
with halo properties in a matched dark matter only (DMO) simulation. The scatter
in stellar mass increases with redshift and decreases with halo mass. At z = 0.1,
it declines from 0.25 dex at M200, DMO ≈ 1011 M⊙ to 0.12 dex at M200, DMO ≈ 1013
M⊙, but the trend is weak above 1012 M⊙. For M200, DMO < 1012.5 M⊙ up to 0.04
dex of the scatter is due to scatter in the halo concentration. At fixed halo
mass, a larger stellar mass corresponds to a more concentrated halo. This is likely
because higher concentrations imply earlier formation times and hence more time
for accretion and star formation, and/or because feedback is less efficient in
haloes with higher binding energies. The maximum circular velocity, Vmax, DMO,
and binding energy are therefore more fundamental properties than halo mass, meaning
that they are more accurate predictors of stellar mass, and we provide fitting
formulae for their relations with stellar mass. However, concentration alone cannot
explain the total scatter in the Mstar−M200,DMO relation, and it does not explain
the scatter in Mstar–Vmax, DMO. Halo spin, sphericity, triaxiality, substructure
and environment are also not responsible for the remaining scatter, which thus
could be due to more complex halo properties or non-linear/stochastic baryonic
effects.

text: While traditionally associated with active galactic nuclei (AGN), the properties
of the C II] (λ = 2326 Å), C III] (λ, λ = 1907, 1909 Å) and C IV (λ, λ = 1549,
1551 Å) emission lines are still uncertain as large, unbiased samples of sources
are scarce. We present the first blind, statistical study of C II], C III] and
C IV emitters at z ∼ 0.68, 1.05, 1.53, respectively, uniformly selected down to
a flux limit of ∼4 × 10−17 erg s−1 cm−1 through a narrow-band survey covering
an area of ∼1.4 deg2 over COSMOS and UDS. We detect 16 C II], 35 C III] and 17
C IV emitters, whose nature we investigate using optical colours as well as Hubble
Space Telescope (HST), X-ray, radio and far-infrared data. We find that z ∼ 0.7
C II] emitters are consistent with a mixture of blue (UV slope β = −2.0 ± 0.4)
star-forming (SF) galaxies with discy HST structure and AGN with Seyfert-like
morphologies. Bright C II] emitters have individual X-ray detections as well as
high average black hole accretion rates (BHARs) of ∼0.1 M⊙ yr−1. C III] emitters
at z ∼ 1.05 trace a general population of SF galaxies, with β = −0.8 ± 1.1, a
variety of optical morphologies, including isolated and interacting galaxies and
low BHAR (<0.02 M⊙ yr−1). Our C IV emitters at z ∼ 1.5 are consistent with young,
blue quasars (β ∼ −1.9) with point-like optical morphologies, bright X-ray counterparts
and large BHAR (0.8 M⊙ yr−1). We also find some surprising C II], C III] and
C IV emitters with rest-frame equivalent widths (EWs) that could be as large as
50–100 Å. AGN or spatial offsets between the UV continuum stellar disc and the
line-emitting regions may explain the large EW. These bright C II], C III] and
C IV emitters are ideal candidates for spectroscopic follow-up to fully unveil
their nature.

text: Recently, the C III] and C IV emission lines have been observed in galaxies
in the early Universe (z > 5), providing new ways to measure their redshift and
study their stellar populations and active galactic nuclei (AGN). We explore the
first blind C II], C III] and C IV survey (z ∼ 0.68, 1.05, 1.53, respectively)
presented in Stroe et al. (2017). We derive luminosity functions (LF) and study
properties of C II], C III] and C IV line emitters through comparisons to the
LFs of H α and Ly α emitters, UV selected star-forming (SF) galaxies and quasars
at similar redshifts. The C II] LF at z ∼ 0.68 is equally well described by a
Schechter or a power-law LF, characteristic of a mixture of SF and AGN activity.
The C III] LF (z ∼ 1.05) is consistent to a scaled down version of the Schechter
H α and Ly α LF at their redshift, indicating a SF origin. In stark contrast,
the C IV LF at z ∼ 1.53 is well fit by a power-law, quasar-like LF. We find that
the brightest UV sources (MUV < −22) will universally have C III] and C IV emission.
However, on average, C III] and C IV are not as abundant as H α or Ly α emitters
at the same redshift, with cosmic average ratios of ∼0.02–0.06 to H α and ∼0.01–0.1
to intrinsic Ly α. We predict that the C III] and C IV lines can only be truly
competitive in confirming high-redshift candidates when the hosts are intrinsically
bright and the effective Ly α escape fraction is below 1 per cent. While C III]
and C IV were proposed as good tracers of young, relatively low-metallicity galaxies
typical of the early Universe, we find that, at least at z ∼ 1.5, C IV is exclusively
hosted by AGN/quasars, especially at large line equivalent widths.

text: We present spectroscopic follow-up of candidate luminous Ly α emitters (LAEs)
at z = 5.7–6.6 in the SA22 field with VLT/X-SHOOTER. We confirm two new luminous
LAEs at z = 5.676 (SR6) and z = 6.532 (VR7), and also present HST follow-up of
both sources. These sources have luminosities LLy α ≈ 3 × 1043 erg s−1, very high
rest-frame equivalent widths of EW0 ≳ 200 Å and narrow Ly α lines (200–340 km s−1).
VR7 is the most UV-luminous LAE at z > 6.5, with M1500 = −22.5, even brighter
in the UV than CR7. Besides Ly α, we do not detect any other rest-frame UV lines
in the spectra of SR6 and VR7, and argue that rest-frame UV lines are easier to
observe in bright galaxies with low Ly α equivalent widths. We confirm that Ly α
line widths increase with Ly α luminosity at z = 5.7, while there are indications
that Ly α lines of faint LAEs become broader at z = 6.6, potentially due to reionization.
We find a large spread of up to 3 dex in UV luminosity for >L⋆ LAEs, but find
that the Ly α luminosity of the brightest LAEs is strongly related to UV luminosity
at z = 6.6. Under basic assumptions, we find that several LAEs at z ≈ 6–7 have
Ly α escape fractions ≳ 100 per cent, indicating bursty star formation histories,
alternative Ly α production mechanisms, or dust attenuating Ly α emission differently
than UV emission. Finally, we present a method to compute ξion, the production
efficiency of ionizing photons, and find that LAEs at z ≈ 6–7 have high values
of log10(ξion/Hz erg−1) ≈ 25.51 ± 0.09 that may alleviate the need for high Lyman-Continuum
escape fractions required for reionization.
