text: The well-known quasar SDSS J095253.83+011421.9 (J0952+0114) at z = 3.02 has
one of the most peculiar spectra discovered so far, showing the presence of narrow
Lyα and broad metal emission lines. Although recent studies have suggested that
a proximate damped Lyα absorption (PDLA) system causes this peculiar spectrum,
the origin of the gas associated with the PDLA is unknown. Here we report the
results of observations with the Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) that
reveal a new giant (≈100 physical kpc) Lyα nebula. The detailed analysis of the
Lyα velocity, velocity dispersion, and surface brightness profiles suggests that
the J0952+0114 Lyα nebula shares similar properties with other QSO nebulae previously
detected with MUSE, implying that the PDLA in J0952+0144 is covering only a small
fraction of the solid angle of the QSO emission. We also detected bright and spectrally
narrow C iv λ1550 and He ii λ1640 extended emission around J0952+0114 with velocity
centroids similar to the peak of the extended and central narrow Lyα emission.
The presence of a peculiarly bright, unresolved, and relatively broad He ii λ1640
emission in the central region at exactly the same PDLA redshift hints at the
possibility that the PDLA originates in a clumpy outflow with a bulk velocity
of about 500 km s−1. The smaller velocity dispersion of the large-scale Lyα emission
suggests that the high-speed outflow is confined to the central region. Lastly,
the derived spatially resolved He ii/Lyα and C iv/Lyα maps show a positive gradient
with the distance to the QSO, hinting at a non-homogeneous distribution of the
ionization parameter.

text: We present new deep ALMA and Hubble Space Telescope (HST)/WFC3 observations
of MASOSA and VR7, two luminous Lyα emitters (LAEs) at z = 6.5, for which the
UV continuum levels differ by a factor of four. No IR dust continuum emission
is detected in either, indicating little amounts of obscured star formation and/or
high dust temperatures. MASOSA, with a UV luminosity M1500 = −20.9, compact size,
and very high Lyα ${\mathrm{EW}}_{0}\approx 145\,\mathring{\rm A} $, is undetected
in [C ii] to a limit of L[C ii] < 2.2 × 107 L⊙, implying a metallicity Z ≲ 0.07
Z⊙. Intriguingly, our HST data indicate a red UV slope β = −1.1 ± 0.7, at odds
with the low dust content. VR7, which is a bright (M1500 = −22.4) galaxy with
moderate color (β = −1.4 ± 0.3) and Lyα EW0 = 34 Å, is clearly detected in [C
ii] emission (S/N = 15). VR7's rest-frame UV morphology can be described by two
components separated by ≈1.5 kpc and is globally more compact than the [C ii]
emission. The global [C ii]/UV ratio indicates Z ≈ 0.2 Z⊙, but there are large
variations in the UV/[C ii] ratio on kiloparsec scales. We also identify diffuse,
possibly outflowing, [C ii]-emitting gas at ≈100 km s−1 with respect to the peak.
VR7 appears to be assembling its components at a slightly more evolved stage than
other luminous LAEs, with outflows already shaping its direct environment at z
∼ 7. Our results further indicate that the global [C ii]−UV relation steepens
at SFR < 30 M⊙ yr−1, naturally explaining why the [C ii]/UV ratio is anticorrelated
with Lyα EW in many, but not all, observed LAEs.

text: To understand star formation in galaxies, we investigate the star formation
rate (SFR) surface density (ΣSFR) profiles for galaxies, based on a well-defined
sample of 976 star-forming MaNGA galaxies. We find that the typical ΣSFR profiles
within 1.5Re of normal SF galaxies can be well described by an exponential function
for different stellar mass intervals, while the sSFR profile shows positive gradients,
especially for more massive SF galaxies. This is due to the more pronounced central
cores or bulges rather than the onset of a `quenching' process. While galaxies
that lie significantly above (or below) the star formation main sequence (SFMS)
show overall an elevation (or suppression) of ΣSFR at all radii, this central
elevation (or suppression) is more pronounced in more massive galaxies. The degree
of central enhancement and suppression is quite symmetric, suggesting that both
the elevation and suppression of star formation are following the same physical
processes. Furthermore, we find that the dispersion in ΣSFR within and across
the population is found to be tightly correlated with the inferred gas depletion
time, whether based on the stellar surface mass density or the orbital dynamical
time. This suggests that we are seeing the response of a simple gas-regulator
system to variations in the accretion rate. This is explored using a heuristic
model that can quantitatively explain the dependence of σ(ΣSFR) on gas depletion
timescale. Variations in accretion rate are progressively more damped out in regions
of low star-formation efficiency leading to a reduced amplitude of variations
in star-formation.

text: We investigate the clustering and halo properties of ∼5000 Ly α-selected emission-line
galaxies (LAEs) from the Slicing COSMOS 4K (SC4K) and from archival NB497 imaging
of SA22 split in 15 discrete redshift slices between z ∼ 2.5 and 6. We measure
clustering lengths of r0 ∼ 3–6 h−1 Mpc and typical halo masses of ∼1011 M⊙ for
our narrowband-selected LAEs with typical LLy α ∼ 1042–43 erg s−1. The intermediate-band-selected
LAEs are observed to have r0 ∼ 3.5–15 h−1 Mpc with typical halo masses of ∼1011–12
M⊙ and typical LLy α ∼ 1043–43.6 erg s−1. We find a strong, redshift-independent
correlation between halo mass and Ly α luminosity normalized by the characteristic
Ly α luminosity, L⋆(z). The faintest LAEs (L ∼ 0.1 L⋆(z)) typically identified
by deep narrowband surveys are found in 1010 M⊙ haloes and the brightest LAEs
(L ∼ 7 L⋆(z)) are found in ∼5 × 1012 M⊙ haloes. A dependency on the rest-frame
1500 Å UV luminosity, MUV, is also observed where the halo masses increase from
1011 to 1013 M⊙ for MUV ∼ −19 to −23.5 mag. Halo mass is also observed to increase
from 109.8 to 1012 M⊙ for dust-corrected UV star formation rates from ∼0.6 to
10 M⊙ yr−1 and continues to increase up to 1013 M⊙ in halo mass, where the majority
of those sources are active galactic nuclei. All the trends we observe are found
to be redshift independent. Our results reveal that LAEs are the likely progenitors
of a wide range of galaxies depending on their luminosity, from dwarf-like, to
Milky Way-type, to bright cluster galaxies. LAEs therefore provide unique insight
into the early formation and evolution of the galaxies we observe in the local
Universe.

text: We present new Hubble Space Telescope (HST)/WFC3 observations and re-analyse
VLT data to unveil the continuum, variability, and rest-frame ultraviolet (UV)
lines of the multiple UV clumps of the most luminous Lyα emitter at z = 6.6, CR7
(COSMOS Redshift 7). Our re-reduced, flux-calibrated X-SHOOTER spectra of CR7
reveal an He II emission line in observations obtained along the major axis of
Lyα emission with the best seeing conditions. He II is spatially offset by ≈+0.8
arcsec from the peak of Lyα emission, and it is found towards clump B. Our WFC3
grism spectra detects the UV continuum of CR7’s clump A, yielding a power law
with β=−2.5+0.6−0.7 and MUV=−21.87+0.25−0.20. No significant variability is found
for any of the UV clumps on their own, but there is tentative (≈2.2 σ) brightening
of CR7 in F110W as a whole from 2012 to 2017. HST grism data fail to robustly
detect rest-frame UV lines in any of the clumps, implying fluxes ≲2×10−17 erg s−1 cm−2
(3σ). We perform CLOUDY modelling to constrain the metallicity and the ionizing
nature of CR7. CR7 seems to be actively forming stars without any clear active
galactic nucleus activity in clump A, consistent with a metallicity of ∼0.05–0.2 Z⊙.
Component C or an interclump component between B and C may host a high ionization
source. Our results highlight the need for spatially resolved information to study
the formation and assembly of early galaxies.
