We perform SED fitting analysis on a COSMOS sample covering UV-to-FIR wavelengths with emission lines from the FMOS survey. The sample of 182 objects with H$alpha$ and [OIII]$lambda5007$ emission spans over a range of $1.40<rm{z}<1.68$. We obtain robust estimates of stellar mass ($10^{9.5}-10^{11.5}~rm{M_odot}$) and SFR ($10^1-10^3~rm{M_odot}~rm{yr}^{-1}$) from the Bayesian analysis with CIGALE fitting continuum photometry and H$alpha$. We obtain a median attenuation of A$_rm{Halpha}=1.16pm0.19$ mag and A$_rm{[OIII]}=1.41pm0.22$ mag. H$alpha$ and [OIII]$lambda5007$ attenuations are found to increase with stellar mass, confirming previous findings. A difference of $57$% in the attenuation experienced by emission lines and continuum is found in agreement with the lines being more attenuated than the continuum. New CLOUDY HII-region models in CIGALE enable good fits of H$alpha$, H$beta$, [OIII]$lambda5007$ emission lines with differences smaller than $0.2$ dex. Fitting [NII]$lambda6584$ line is challenging due to well-known discrepancies in the locus of galaxies in the BPT diagram at intermediate redshifts. We find a positive correlation for SFR and dust-corrected L$_rm{[OIII]lambda5007}$ and we derive the linear relation $log_{10}rm{(SFR/rm{M}_odot~rm{yr}^{-1})}=log_{10} (rm{L}_{[rm{OIII]}}/rm{ergs~s^{-1}})-(41.20pm0.02)$. Leaving the slope as a free parameter leads to $log_{10}rm{(SFR/rm{M}_odot~rm{yr}^{-1})}=(0.83pm0.06)log_{10}(rm{L}_{[rm{OIII]}}/rm{ergs~s^{-1}})-(34.01pm2.63)$. Gas-phase metallicity and ionization parameter variations account for a $0.24$ dex and $1.1$ dex of the dispersion, respectively. An average value of $logrm{U}approx-2.85$ is measured for this sample. Including HII-region models to fit simultaneously photometry and emission line fluxes are paramount to analyze future data from surveys such as MOONS and PFS.

We present the first results from a near-IR spectroscopic survey of the COSMOS field, using the Fiber Multi-Object Spectrograph on the Subaru telescope, designed to characterize the star-forming galaxy population at $1.4<z<1.7$. The high-resolution m
ode is implemented to detect H$alpha$ in emission between $1.6{rm -}1.8 mathrm{mu m}$ with $f_{rm Halpha}gtrsim4times10^{-17}$ erg cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$. Here, we specifically focus on 271 sBzK-selected galaxies that yield a H$alpha$ detection thus providing a redshift and emission line luminosity to establish the relation between star formation rate and stellar mass. With further $J$-band spectroscopy for 89 of these, the level of dust extinction is assessed by measuring the Balmer decrement using co-added spectra. We find that the extinction ($0.6lesssim A_mathrm{Halpha} lesssim 2.5$) rises with stellar mass and is elevated at high masses compared to low-redshift galaxies. Using this subset of the spectroscopic sample, we further find that the differential extinction between stellar and nebular emission hbox{$E_mathrm{star}(B-V)/E_mathrm{neb}(B-V)$} is 0.7--0.8, dissimilar to that typically seen at low redshift. After correcting for extinction, we derive an H$alpha$-based main sequence with a slope ($0.81pm0.04$) and normalization similar to previous studies at these redshifts.
We present MCSED, a new spectral energy distribution (SED)-fitting code, which mates flexible stellar evolution calculations with the Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithms of the software package emcee. MCSED takes broad, intermediate, and narrow-band
photometry, emission-line fluxes, and/or absorption line spectral indices, and returns probability distributions and co-variance plots for all model parameters. MCSED includes a variety of dust attenuation curves with parameters for varying the UV slopes and bump strengths, a prescription for continuum and PAH emission from dust, models for continuum and line emission from ionized gas, options for fixed and variable stellar metallicity, and a selection of star formation rate (SFR) histories. The code is well-suited for exploring parameter inter-dependencies in sets of galaxies with known redshifts, for which there is multi-band photometry and/or spectroscopy. We apply MCSED to a sample of $sim2000$ $1.90<z<2.35$ galaxies in the five CANDELS fields, which were selected via their strong [O III] $lambda5007$ emission, and explore the systematic behavior of their SEDs. We find the galaxies become redder with stellar mass, due to both increasing internal attenuation and a greater population of older stars. The slope of the UV extinction curve also changes with stellar mass, and at least some galaxies exhibit an extinction excess at 2175 Angstroms. Finally, we demonstrate that below $Mlesssim10^9,M_{odot}$), the shape of the star-forming galaxy main sequence is highly dependent on the galaxies assumed SFR history, as calculations which assume a constant SFR produce stellar masses that are $sim1$ dex smaller than those found using more realistic SFR histories.
We present basic properties of $sim$3,300 emission line galaxies detected by the FastSound survey, which are mostly H$alpha$ emitters at $z sim$ 1.2-1.5 in the total area of about 20 deg$^2$, with the H$alpha$ flux sensitivity limit of $sim 1.6 times
10^{-16} rm erg cm^{-2} s^{-1}$ at 4.5 sigma. This paper presents the catalogs of the FastSound emission lines and galaxies, which will be open to the public in the near future. We also present basic properties of typical FastSound H$alpha$ emitters, which have H$alpha$ luminosities of $10^{41.8}$-$10^{43.3}$ erg/s, SFRs of 20--500 $M_odot$/yr, and stellar masses of $10^{10.0}$--$10^{11.3}$ $M_odot$. The 3D distribution maps for the four fields of CFHTLS W1--4 are presented, clearly showing large scale clustering of galaxies at the scale of $sim$ 100--600 comoving Mpc. Based on 1,105 galaxies with detections of multiple emission lines, we estimate that contamination of non-H$alpha$ lines is about 4% in the single-line emission galaxies, which are mostly [OIII]$lambda$5007. This contamination fraction is also confirmed by the stacked spectrum of all the FastSound spectra, in which H$alpha$, [NII]$lambda lambda$6548,6583, [SII]$lambda lambda$6717, 6731, and [OI]$lambda lambda$6300,6364 are seen.
We derive the mean wavelength dependence of stellar attenuation in a sample of 239 high redshift (1.90 < z < 2.35) galaxies selected via Hubble Space Telescope (HST) WFC3 IR grism observations of their rest-frame optical emission lines. Our analysis
indicates that the average reddening law follows a form similar to that derived by Calzetti et al. for local starburst galaxies. However, over the mass range 7.2 < log M/Msolar < 10.2, the slope of the attenuation law in the UV is shallower than that seen locally, and the UV slope steepens as the mass increases. These trends are in qualitative agreement with Kriek & Conroy, who found that the wavelength dependence of attenuation varies with galaxy spectral type. However, we find no evidence of an extinction bump at 2175 A in any of the three stellar mass bins, or in the sample as a whole. We quantify the relation between the attenuation curve and stellar mass and discuss its implications.
We compare the physical and morphological properties of z ~ 2 Lyman-alpha emitting galaxies (LAEs) identified in the HETDEX Pilot Survey and narrow band studies with those of z ~ 2 optical emission line galaxies (oELGs) identified via HST WFC3 infrar
ed grism spectroscopy. Both sets of galaxies extend over the same range in stellar mass (7.5 < logM < 10.5), size (0.5 < R < 3.0 kpc), and star-formation rate (~1 < SFR < 100). Remarkably, a comparison of the most commonly used physical and morphological parameters -- stellar mass, half-light radius, UV slope, star formation rate, ellipticity, nearest neighbor distance, star formation surface density, specific star formation rate, [O III] luminosity, and [O III] equivalent width -- reveals no statistically significant differences between the populations. This suggests that the processes and conditions which regulate the escape of Ly-alpha from a z ~ 2 star-forming galaxy do not depend on these quantities. In particular, the lack of dependence on the UV slope suggests that Ly-alpha emission is not being significantly modulated by diffuse dust in the interstellar medium. We develop a simple model of Ly-alpha emission that connects LAEs to all high-redshift star forming galaxies where the escape of Ly-alpha depends on the sightline through the galaxy. Using this model, we find that mean solid angle for Ly-alpha escape is 2.4+/-0.8 steradians; this value is consistent with those calculated from other studies.
