Using [Ne v]/[Ne iii] to Understand the Nature of Extreme-ionization Galaxies

Spectroscopic studies of extreme-ionization galaxies (EIGs) are critical to our understanding of exotic systems throughout cosmic time. These EIGs exhibit spectral features requiring >54.42 eV photons: the energy needed to ionize helium into He ^2+ fully and emit He ii recombination lines. Spectr...
