[Astronomy seminar announcements]

Dear all,

The next SU astronomy departmental seminar will take place on Friday 
October 6 at 10:30am in room FC61 (AlbaNova building, 6th floor) and on 
zoom (https://stockholmuniversity.zoom.us/s/61002076352).

Title: The study of Interstellar Medium diagnostics in local galaxies to 
Interpret the Reionization-Era
Event: https://indico.fysik.su.se/e/matilde-mingozzi

Abstract:
Rest-frame UV spectra play a key role in the understanding of massive 
stellar populations, chemical evolution, feedback processes, and 
reionization. Indeed, in the current JWST era, the UV spectroscopic 
frontier has been pushed to higher redshifts than ever before, to 
finally reveal the first galaxies in the distant Universe. In this 
context, the HST COS Legacy Archive Spectroscopic SurveY (CLASSY) 
provides the first high-quality, high-resolution and broad-wavelength 
range catalogue of 45 local star-forming galaxies (SFGs) in the 
rest-frame UV (1150 −2000 Å) to investigate their stellar and gas 
properties. The sample is representative of SFGs across all redshifts, 
including extremely metal-poor objects similar to reionization-era 
systems. Hence, CLASSY provides the ideal UV atlas with which we can 
tailor a complete UV diagnostic toolkit to explore the interstellar 
medium (ISM) properties (i.e., density, temperature, gas-phase 
metallicity, ionization parameter). In this talk I will present such a 
toolkit, obtained from the analysis of the main emission lines of CLASSY 
spectra and the comparison with well-known optical diagnostics. We also 
compared our measurements with state-of-the-art photoionization models, 
to provide the best diagnostics plots to identify the main source of 
ionization. Overall, CLASSY and our UV toolkit can be crucial to 
interpret the earliest galaxies revealed with JWST.
