We present an analysis of the JWST NIRCam and MIRI morphological and structural properties of 80 massive (log10(M*[M⊙]) = 11.2 ± 0.1) dusty star-forming galaxies at z = 2.7−0.7+1.2, identified as sub-millimetre galaxies (SMGs) by ALMA, which have bee...

Metal line emission around z < 1 galaxies (2024)
Journal Article
Dutta, R., Fumagalli, M., Fossati, M., Rafelski, M., Revalski, M., Arrigoni Battaia, F., D’Odorico, V., Péroux, C., Prichard, L. J., & Swinbank, A. M. (2024). Metal line emission around z < 1 galaxies. Astronomy & Astrophysics, 691, Article A236. https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/202450733

We characterize, for the first time, the average extended emission in multiple lines ([O II], [O III], and Hβ) around a statistical sample of 560 galaxies at z ≈ 0.25 − 0.85. By stacking the Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) 3D data from two l... Read More about Metal line emission around z < 1 galaxies.

Humanitarianism’s Thin Red Line: Armed Escorts in Theory and Practice (2024)
Journal Article
Plowright, W. (2024). Humanitarianism’s Thin Red Line: Armed Escorts in Theory and Practice. Journal of Humanitarian Affairs, 5(3), 23-31. https://doi.org/10.7227/jha.114

In the twenty-first century, the number of attacks on humanitarian workers has dramatically increased, resulting in growing attention on the issue of safety and security (Neuman and Weissman, 2016). This insecurity has further led to an increase in t... Read More about Humanitarianism’s Thin Red Line: Armed Escorts in Theory and Practice.

The stellar population of a z ∼ 3.25 Lyα-emitting group associated with a damped Lyα absorber (2024)
Journal Article
Pruto, G., Fumagalli, M., Rafelski, M., Revalski, M., Fossati, M., Mackenzie, R., & Theuns, T. (2024). The stellar population of a z ∼ 3.25 Lyα-emitting group associated with a damped Lyα absorber. Astronomy & Astrophysics, 691, Article A222. https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/202450609

We present near-infrared observations, acquired with the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) on board the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), of a Lyα-emitting double-clumped nebula at z ≈ 3.25 associated with a damped Lyα absorber (DLA). With the WFC3/F160W data w... Read More about The stellar population of a z ∼ 3.25 Lyα-emitting group associated with a damped Lyα absorber.

Journal Article
Bertola, E., Circosta, C., Ginolfi, M., Mainieri, V., Vignali, C., Calistro Rivera, G., Ward, S. R., Lopez, I. E., Pensabene, A., Alexander, D. M., Bischetti, M., Brusa, M., Cappi, M., Comastri, A., Contursi, A., Cicone, C., Cresci, G., Dadina, M., D’Amato, Q., Feltre, A., …Zappacosta, L. (2024). KASHz+SUPER: Evidence of cold molecular gas depletion in AGN hosts at cosmic noon. Astronomy & Astrophysics, 691, Article A178. https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/202450420

The energy released by active galactic nuclei (AGN) has the potential to heat or remove the gas of the ISM, thus likely impacting the cold molecular gas reservoir of host galaxies at first, with star formation following as a consequence on longer tim...
