  • Breathless BEARS: [OIII] 88μm Emission of Dusty Star-Forming Galaxies at z = 3–4

    Bakx, T. J. L. C., Algera, Hiddo S. B., Prajapati, Prachi, Bendo, George et al.

    This paper analyzes [O III] and [C II] line ratios in z=3–4 dusty star-forming galaxies, providing observational constraints on metallicity and ionization fields relevant to your PDR modeling of high-redshift ISM, and is co-authored by your frequent collaborator Kevin Harrington.

  • One cloud is not enough: extreme conditions bias chemical abundances in high-redshift galaxies

    Moreschini, Bianca, Belfiore, Francesco, Marconi, Alessandro, Cataldi, Elisa et al.

    The study demonstrates how unresolved density clumps bias chemical diagnostics in high-redshift galaxies observed by JWST, directly relating to your research on quantifying the impact of ISM inhomogeneity on molecular tracers and metallicity estimates using 3D-PDR and PDFchem.

  • On the dusty proximate damped Lyman-α system toward Q 2310−3358 at z = 2.40

    Han, S., Krogager, J.-K., Ledoux, C., Ma, G. et al.

    This study employs Atomic Carbon ([CI]) fine-structure lines to constrain gas density and UV radiation fields in a z=2.4 system, providing observational data that directly relates to your theoretical modeling of PDR chemistry and [CI] as a molecular gas tracer.
