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: 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: 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.

text: We present dynamical measurements from the KMOS (K-band multi-object spectrograph)
Deep Survey (KDS), which comprises 77 typical star-forming galaxies at z ≃ 3.5
in the mass range 9.0 < log (M⋆/M⊙) < 10.5. These measurements constrain the internal
dynamics, the intrinsic velocity dispersions (σint) and rotation velocities (VC)
of galaxies in the high-redshift Universe. The mean velocity dispersion of the
galaxies in our sample is σint=70.8+3.3−3.1kms−1, revealing that the increasing
average σint with increasing redshift, reported for z ≲ 2, continues out to z
≃ 3.5. Only 36 ± 8 per cent of our galaxies are rotation-dominated (VC/σint >
1), with the sample average VC/σint value much smaller than at lower redshift.
After carefully selecting comparable star-forming samples at multiple epochs,
we find that the rotation-dominated fraction evolves with redshift with a z−0.2
dependence. The rotation-dominated KDS galaxies show no clear offset from the
local rotation velocity–stellar mass (i.e. VC–M⋆) relation, although a smaller
fraction of the galaxies are on the relation due to the increase in the dispersion-dominated
fraction. These observations are consistent with a simple equilibrium model picture,
in which random motions are boosted in high-redshift galaxies by a combination
of the increasing gas fractions, accretion efficiency, specific star formation
rate and stellar feedback and which may provide significant pressure support against
gravity on the galactic disc scale.

text: We investigate correlations between different physical properties of star-forming
galaxies in the ‘Evolution and Assembly of GaLaxies and their Environments’ (EAGLE)
cosmological hydrodynamical simulation suite over the redshift range 0 ≤ z ≤ 4.5.
A principal component analysis reveals that neutral gas fraction (fgas,neutral),
stellar mass (Mstellar) and star formation rate (SFR) account for most of the
variance seen in the population, with galaxies tracing a two-dimensional, nearly
flat, surface in the three-dimensional space of fgas, neutral–Mstellar–SFR with
little scatter. The location of this plane varies little with redshift, whereas
galaxies themselves move along the plane as their fgas, neutral and SFR drop with
redshift. The positions of galaxies along the plane are highly correlated with
gas metallicity. The metallicity can therefore be robustly predicted from fgas,
neutral, or from the Mstellar and SFR. We argue that the appearance of this ‘Fundamental
Plane of star formation’ is a consequence of self-regulation, with the plane's
curvature set by the dependence of the SFR on gas density and metallicity. We
analyse a large compilation of observations spanning the redshift range 0 ≲ z
≲ 3, and find that such a plane is also present in the data. The properties of
the observed Fundamental Plane of star formation are in good agreement with EAGLE's
predictions.

text: We use new near-infrared spectroscopic observations to investigate the nature
and evolution of the most luminous Hα emitters at z ∼ 0.8–2.23, which evolve strongly
in number density over this period, and compare them to more typical Hα emitters.
We study 59 luminous Hα emitters with LHα > L∗Hα, roughly equally split per redshift
slice at z ∼ 0.8, 1.47 and 2.23 from the HiZELS and CF-HiZELS surveys. We find
that, overall, 30 ± 8 per cent are active galactic nuclei [AGNs; 80 ± 30 per cent
of these AGNs are broad-line AGNs, BL-AGNs], and we find little to no evolution
in the AGN fraction with redshift, within the errors. However, the AGN fraction
increases strongly with Hα luminosity and correlates best with LHα/L∗Hα(z). While
LHα ≤ L∗Hα(z) Hα emitters are largely dominated by star-forming galaxies (>80
per cent), the most luminous Hα emitters (LHα>10L∗Hα(z)) at any cosmic time
are essentially all BL-AGN. Using our AGN-decontaminated sample of luminous star-forming
galaxies, and integrating down to a fixed Hα luminosity, we find a factor of ∼1300
evolution in the star formation rate density from z = 0 to 2.23. This is much
stronger than the evolution from typical Hα star-forming galaxies and in line
with the evolution seen for constant luminosity cuts used to select ‘ultraluminous’
infrared galaxies and/or sub-millimetre galaxies. By taking into account the evolution
in the typical Hα luminosity, we show that the most strongly star-forming Hα-selected
galaxies at any epoch (LHα>L∗Hα(z)) contribute the same fractional amount of
≈15 per cent to the total star formation rate density, at least up to z = 2.23.

text: We present the first results from our CAlibrating LYMan α with Hα (CALYMHA)
pilot survey at the Isaac Newton Telescope. We measure Lyα emission for 488 Hα
selected galaxies at z = 2.23 from High-z Emission Line Survey in the COSMOS and
UDS fields with a specially designed narrow-band filter (λc = 3918 Å, Δλ = 52
Å). We find 17 dual Hα-Lyα emitters [fLyα > 5 × 10−17 erg s−1 cm−2, of which five
are X-ray active galactic nuclei (AGN)]. For star-forming galaxies, we find a
range of Lyα escape fractions (fesc, measured with 3 arcsec apertures) from 2
to 30 per cent. These galaxies have masses from 3 × 108 M⊙ to 1011 M⊙ and dust
attenuations E(B − V) = 0–0.5. Using stacking, we measure a median escape fraction
of 1.6 ± 0.5 per cent (4.0 ± 1.0 per cent without correcting Hα for dust), but
show that this depends on galaxy properties. The stacked fesc tends to decrease
with increasing star formation rate and dust attenuation. However, at the highest
masses and dust attenuations, we detect individual galaxies with fesc much higher
than the typical values from stacking, indicating significant scatter in the values
of fesc. Relations between fesc and UV slope are bimodal, with high fesc for either
the bluest or reddest galaxies. We speculate that this bimodality and large scatter
in the values of fesc is due to additional physical mechanisms such as outflows
facilitating fesc for dusty/massive systems. Lyα is significantly more extended
than Hα and the UV. fesc continues to increase up to at least 20 kpc (3σ, 40 kpc
[2σ]) for typical star-forming galaxies and thus the aperture is the most important
predictor of fesc.

text: 'Faint Lyα emitters become increasingly rarer toward the reionization epoch
(z ∼ 6–7). However, observations from a very large (∼5 deg2) Lyα narrow-band survey
at z = 6.6 show that this is not the case for the most luminous emitters, capable
of ionizing their own local bubbles. Here we present follow-up observations of
the two most luminous Lyα candidates in the COSMOS field: “MASOSA” and “CR7.”
We used X-SHOOTER, SINFONI, and FORS2 on the Very Large Telescope, and DEIMOS
on Keck, to confirm both candidates beyond any doubt. We find redshifts of z =
6.541 and z = 6.604 for “MASOSA” and “CR7,” respectively. MASOSA has a strong
detection in Lyα with a line width of 386 ± 30 km s−1 (FWHM) and with very high
EW0 (>200 Å), but undetected in the continuum, implying very low stellar mass
and a likely young, metal-poor stellar population. “CR7,” with an observed Lyα
luminosity of 1043.92±0.05 erg s−1 is the most luminous Lyα emitter ever found
at z > 6 and is spatially extended (∼16 kpc). “CR7” reveals a narrow Lyα line
with 266 ± 15 km s−1 FWHM, being detected in the near-infrared (NIR) (rest-frame
UV; β = −2.3 ± 0.1) and in IRAC/Spitzer. We detect a narrow He II 1640 Å emission
line (6σ, FWHM = 130 ± 30 km s−1 ) in CR7 which can explain the clear excess seen
in the J-band photometry (EW0 ∼ 80 Å). We find no other emission lines from the
UV to the NIR in our X-SHOOTER spectra (He II/O III] 1663 Å > 3 and He II/C III]
1908 Å > 2.5). We conclude that CR7 is best explained by a combination of a PopIII-like
population, which dominates the rest-frame UV and the nebular emission, and a
more normal stellar population, which presumably dominates the mass. Hubble Space
Telescope/WFC3 observations show that the light is indeed spatially separated
between a very blue component, coincident with Lyα and He II emission, and two
red components (∼5 kpc away), which dominate the mass. Our findings are consistent
with theoretical predictions of a PopIII wave, with PopIII star formation migrating
away from the original sites of star formation.'

text: 'We present results from the largest contiguous narrow-band survey in the
near-infrared. We have used the wide-field infrared camera/Canada–France–Hawaii
Telescope and the lowOH2 filter (1.187 ± 0.005 μm) to survey ≈10 deg2 of contiguous
extragalactic sky in the SA22 field. A total of ∼6000 candidate emission-line
galaxies are found. We use deep ugrizJK data to obtain robust photometric redshifts.
We combine our data with the High-redshift(Z) Emission Line Survey (HiZELS), explore
spectroscopic surveys (VVDS, VIPERS) and obtain our own spectroscopic follow-up
with KMOS, FMOS and MOSFIRE to derive large samples of high-redshift emission-line
selected galaxies: 3471 Hα emitters at z = 0.8, 1343 [O III] + Hβ emitters at
z = 1.4 and 572 [O II] emitters at z = 2.2. We probe comoving volumes of >106
Mpc3 and find significant overdensities, including an 8.5σ (spectroscopically
confirmed) overdensity of Hα emitters at z = 0.81. We derive Hα, [O III] + Hβ
and [O II] luminosity functions at z = 0.8, 1.4, 2.2, respectively, and present
implications for future surveys such as Euclid. Our uniquely large volumes/areas
allow us to subdivide the samples in thousands of randomized combinations of areas
and provide a robust empirical measurement of sample/cosmic variance. We show
that surveys for star-forming/emission-line galaxies at a depth similar to ours
can only overcome cosmic-variance (errors <10 per cent) if they are based on volumes
>5 × 105 Mpc3; errors on L* and ϕ* due to sample (cosmic) variance on surveys
probing ∼104 and ∼105 Mpc3 are typically very high: ∼300 and ∼40–60 per cent,
respectively.'

text: We have observed a sample of typical z ∼ 1 star-forming galaxies, selected
from the HiZELS survey, with the new K-band Multi-Object Spectrograph (KMOS) near-infrared,
multi-integral field unit instrument on the Very Large Telescope (VLT), in order
to obtain their dynamics and metallicity gradients. The majority of our galaxies
have a metallicity gradient consistent with being flat or negative (i.e. higher
metallicity cores than outskirts). Intriguingly, we find a trend between metallicity
gradient and specific star formation rate (sSFR), such that galaxies with a high
sSFR tend to have relatively metal poor centres, a result which is strengthened
when combined with data sets from the literature. This result appears to explain
the discrepancies reported between different high-redshift studies and varying
claims for evolution. From a galaxy evolution perspective, the trend we see would
mean that a galaxy's sSFR is governed by the amount of metal-poor gas that can
be funnelled into its core, triggered either by merging or through efficient accretion.
In fact, merging may play a significant role as it is the starburst galaxies at
all epochs, which have the more positive metallicity gradients. Our results may
help to explain the origin of the fundamental metallicity relation, in which galaxies
at a fixed mass are observed to have lower metallicities at higher star formation
rates, especially if the metallicity is measured in an aperture encompassing only
the central regions of the galaxy. Finally, we note that this study demonstrates
the power of KMOS as an efficient instrument for large-scale resolved galaxy surveys.

text: 'Candidate galaxies at redshifts of z ∼ 10 are now being found in extremely
deep surveys, probing very small areas. As a consequence, candidates are very
faint, making spectroscopic confirmation practically impossible. In order to overcome
such limitations, we have undertaken the CF-HiZELS survey, which is a large-area,
medium-depth near-infrared narrow-band survey targeted at z = 8.8 Lyman α (Lyα)
emitters (LAEs) and covering 10 deg2 in part of the SSA22 field with the Canada–France–Hawaii
Telescope (CFHT). We surveyed a comoving volume of 4.7 × 106 Mpc3 to a Lyα luminosity
limit of 6.3 × 1043舁erg舁s−1. We look for Lyα candidates by applying the following
criteria: (i) clear emission-line source, (ii) no optical detections (ugriz from
CFHTLS), (iii) no visible detection in the optical stack (ugriz > 27), (iv) visually
checked reliable NBJ and J detections and (v) J − K ≤ 0. We compute photometric
redshifts and remove a significant amount of dusty lower redshift line-emitters
at z ∼ 1.4 or 2.2. A total of 13 Lyα candidates were found, of which two are marked
as strong candidates, but the majority have very weak constraints on their spectral
energy distributions. Using follow-up observations with SINFONI/VLT, we are able
to exclude the most robust candidates as LAEs. We put a strong constraint on the
Lyα luminosity function at z ∼ 9 and make realistic predictions for ongoing and
future surveys. Our results show that surveys for the highest redshift LAEs are
susceptible of multiple contaminations and that spectroscopic follow-up is absolutely
necessary.'

text: We present the spatially resolved Hα dynamics of 16 star-forming galaxies
at z ∼ 0.81 using the new KMOS multi-object integral field spectrograph on the
ESO Very Large Telescope. These galaxies, selected using 1.18 μm narrowband imaging
from the 10 deg2 CFHT-HiZELS survey of the SA 22 hr field, are found in a ∼4 Mpc
overdensity of Hα emitters and likely reside in a group/intermediate environment,
but not a cluster. We confirm and identify a rich group of star-forming galaxies
at z = 0.813 ± 0.003, with 13 galaxies within 1000 km s−1 of each other, and seven
within a diameter of 3 Mpc. All of our galaxies are “typical” star-forming galaxies
at their redshift, 0.8 ± 0.4 SFR$^*_{z = 0.8}$, spanning a range of specific star
formation rates (sSFRs) of 0.2–1.1 Gyr−1 and have a median metallicity very close
to solar of 12 + log(O/H) = 8.62 ± 0.06. We measure the spatially resolved Hα
dynamics of the galaxies in our sample and show that 13 out of 16 galaxies can
be described by rotating disks and use the data to derive inclination corrected
rotation speeds of 50–275 km s−1. The fraction of disks within our sample is 75%
± 8%, consistent with previous results based on Hubble Space Telescope morphologies
of Hα-selected galaxies at z ∼ 1 and confirming that disks dominate the SFR density
at z ∼ 1. Our Hα galaxies are well fitted by the z ∼ 1–2 Tully–Fisher (TF) relation,
confirming the evolution seen in the zero point. Apart from having, on average,
higher stellar masses and lower sSFRs, our group galaxies at z = 0.81 present
the same mass–metallicity and TF relation as z ∼ 1 field galaxies and are all
disk galaxies.
