Nebular dominated galaxies: insights into the stellar initial mass function at high redshift by Cameron, AJ, Katz, H, Witten, C, Saxena, A, Laporte, N, Bunker, A

“…Modelling the UV turnover with a DLA requires extreme column densities (𝑁HI > 1023 cm−2 ), and simultaneously explaining the high 𝑓esc,Ly𝛼 requires a fine-tuned geometry. In contrast, modelling the spectrum as primarily nebular provides a good fit to both the continuum and emission lines, motivating scenarios in which (a) we are observing only nebular emission or (b) the ionizing source is powering extreme nebular emission that outshines the stellar emission. …”
