Quasars at the High Redshift Frontier
… observations and powerful numerical simulations. High-redshift quasars have become a ubiquitous tool in the study of this era with more than 115 quasars now spectroscopically confirmed at z>6.0. In this thesis, I use spectra of high-redshift quasars to provide improved observational constraints …

Molecular observations of the high redshift universe
Submission original under an indefinite embargo labeled 'Open Access'. The submission was exported from vireo on 2023-04-12 without embargo terms

Probing the Intergalactic Medium with high-redshift quasars
… thermal state of the IGM. In this thesis, I use high-resolution quasar spectra in conjunction with state-of-the-art hydrodynamical simulations to probe the IGM at high redshift, focusing on the ionization and thermal state of the gas. After reionization, the ionization state of the IGM is set by …

High redshift star-forming galaxies in absorption and emission
Galaxies in the redshift range 1 < z < 3 existed during the most vigorous period of star formation in the history of the Universe. In the past 15 years, large rest-frame UV spectroscopic samples of z ∼ 3 star-forming galaxies have been assembled. However, this particular redshift range, the …

Search for rapidly star-forming galaxies at high redshift.
… found. From this sample it appears this possible high redshift star forming phase only contributes 1/10 of the metal present in disks or spheroids. We have also found 30 Lyman α emission line companions to 12 z = 3 quasars. These objects have Lyman α equivalent widths (50Å) and luminosities (V = …

Unveiling the epoch of reionization by simulations and high-redshift galaxies
… of the first stars and galaxies; a fraction of high-energy photons emitted from galaxies permeate into the intergalactic medium (IGM) and gradually ionize the hydrogen, until the IGM is completely ionized at z~6 (Fan et al., 2006). While the progress of reionization is driven by galaxy …

The high-redshift clusters occupied by bent radio AGN (COBRA) survey
… and galaxies. To understand how massive, low-redshift galaxy clusters evolve to become what is observed in the modern universe, astronomers need to trace the evolution of progenitor clusters. Though there are thousands of well-studied low-redshift clusters, there are significantly fewer …

Intergalactic baryon enrichment and implications for galaxy evolution at high redshift
… of heavy element absorber characteristics at high redshift, gauging properties of diffuse intra- and intergalactic gas in the first several Gyr of the Universe. At z ~ 3.5, we study chemical abundances of Lyman limit systems (LLSs) and evaluate their potential to represent expected reservoirs …

The evolution of isotoipc abundances from high-redshift to the local universe
… of carbon, sulphur, and titanium isotopes at redshifts z-.1 and in the Galactic stellar disc and halo have opened a new window into the study of isotopic abundance patterns and the origin of the chemical elements. Using our Galactic chemical evolution code CEtool, we have examined the …

Cosmology with clusters of galaxies : high-redshift clusters and the evolution of cluster substructure
… observation of MS1054-0321. MS1054-0321 is the highest redshift cluster in the Einstein Medium Sensitivity Survey (EMSS), and it was one of the first high-redshift clusters observed with Chandra. I confirm that this cluster is hot and massive, although its temperature is slightly lower than …

Spatially resolved spectroscopy of faint star-forming galaxies & their environments in the high redshift universe
… for the detailed study of ordinary objects at high redshift. We present spectroscopic data for a strongly-lensed galaxy at z = 0:79 from which we measure the physical conditions in the interstellar medium and characterise the star formation history/ activity. Significant spatial variations in …

The Mass-Pitch Angle Relation for Three High Redshift Active Galaxies Selected from the GOODS Field
… heavens, we have come to realize the presence of highly energetic gravitational wells at the center of all galaxies. These supermassive black holes at a galaxies nucleus formed in the company of the other features making up the galaxy, particularly spiral arms. With nearby galaxies showing a …

Bent tail radio sources as tracers of galaxy clusters at high redshift and SMBH mass estimates
… in observations as tracers of galaxy clusters at redshifts of up to z _ 1. They have, however, been shown to be numerous in galaxy groups as well. The ability to find high redshift galaxy clusters is important in cosmology because they are important cosmological probes. According to the _ CDM …

Studies on the gamma-ray burst phenomenon and on its use to probe the high redshift universe
… be used as a tool to retrieve information on the high redshift universe. In my thesis work, I explore some of the research areas that can be investigated using GRBs. Using the REM observations of GRB060418 and GRB060607, the initial Lorentz factor of the GRB explosion could be measured. The value …

Emission Line Galaxies from CADIS : High Redshift Lyman-Alpha Galaxies and Metal Poor Galaxies at Medium Redshift
… at 0.4<z<0.7 have been selected by their high [OIII]5007 / [OII]3727 ratios. Their oxygen abundances, determined by follow-up spectroscopy, indicate that the metallicity-luminosity relation which applies to galaxies in the local universe also holds at z=0.6. Ly-alpha galaxy candidates from …

Investigating the properties of gamma ray bursts and gravitational wave standard sirens as high redshift distance indicators
… wave standard sirens as an alternative high-redshift distance indicator. We first illustrate their strong diagnostic potential through a Bayesian model comparison between the standard Unified Dark Matter model and a variant in which the dark component is redshift dependent. By drawing …
