We examine Lyman continuum (LyC) leakage through H II regions regulated by turbulence and radiative feedback in a giant molecular cloud in the context of fully-coupled radiation hydrodynamics (RHD). The physical relations of the LyC escape with H I covering fraction, kinematics, spectral hardness, and the emergent Lyman-$alpha$ (Ly$alpha$) line profiles are studied using a series of RHD turbulence simulations performed with RAMSES-RT. The turbulence-regulated mechanism allows ionizing photons to leak out at early times before the onset of supernova feedback. The LyC photons escape through turbulence-generated low column density channels which are evacuated efficiently by radiative feedback via photoheating-induced shocks across the D-type ionization fronts. Ly$alpha$ photons funnel through the photoionized channels along the paths of LyC escape, resulting in a diverse Ly$alpha$ spectral morphology including narrow double-peaked profiles. The Ly$alpha$ peak separation is controlled by the residual H I column density of the channels and the line asymmetry correlates with the porosity and multiphase structure of the H II region. This mechanism through the turbulent H II regions can naturally reproduce the observed Ly$alpha$ spectral characteristics of some of LyC-leaking galaxies. This RHD turbulence-origin provides an appealing hypothesis to explain high LyC leakage from very young ($sim3$ Myr) star-forming galaxies found in the local Universe without need of extreme galactic outflows nor supernova feedback. We discuss the implications of the turbulent H II regions on other nebular emission lines and a possible observational test with the Magellanic System and local blue compact dwarf galaxies as analogs of reionization-era systems.

Spectroscopic observations of massive $z>7$ galaxies selected to have extremely large [OIII]+H$beta$ equivalent width (EW $sim1500$ r{A}) have recently revealed large Ly$alpha$ detection rates, in contrast to the weak emission seen in the general pop ulation. Why these systems are uniquely visible in Ly$alpha$ at redshifts where the IGM is likely significantly neutral is not clear. With the goal of better understanding these results, we have begun a campaign with MMT and Magellan to measure Ly$alpha$ in galaxies with similar [OIII]+H$beta$ EWs at $zsimeq2-3$. At these redshifts, the IGM is highly ionized, allowing us to clearly disentangle how the Ly$alpha$ properties depend on the [OIII]+H$beta$ EW. Here we present Ly$alpha$ EWs of $49$ galaxies at $z=2.2-3.7$ with intense [OIII]+H$beta$ line emission (EW $=300-3000$ r{A}). Our results demonstrate that strong Ly$alpha$ emission (EW $>20$ r{A}) becomes more common in galaxies with larger [OIII]+H$beta$ EW, reflecting a combination of increasingly efficient ionizing photon production and enhanced transmission of Ly$alpha$. Among the galaxies with the most extreme [OIII]+H$beta$ emission (EW $sim1500$ r{A}), we find that strong Ly$alpha$ emission is not ubiquitous, with only $50$ per cent of our population showing Ly$alpha$ EW $>20$ r{A}. Our data suggest that the range of Ly$alpha$ strengths is related to the observed ellipticity, with those systems that appear edge-on or elongated having weaker Ly$alpha$ emission. We use these results to interpret the anomalous Ly$alpha$ properties seen in $z>7$ galaxies with extreme [OIII]+H$beta$ emission and discuss implications for the escape of ionizing radiation from these extreme line emitting galaxies.

Dynamical expansion of H II regions around star clusters plays a key role in dispersing the surrounding dense gas and therefore in limiting the efficiency of star formation in molecular clouds. We use a semi-analytic method and numerical simulations to explore expansion of spherical dusty H II regions and surrounding neutral shells and the resulting cloud disruption. Our model for shell expansion adopts the static solutions of Draine (2011) for dusty H II regions and considers the contact outward forces on the shell due to radiation and thermal pressures as well as the inward gravity from the central star and the shell itself. We show that the internal structure we adopt and the shell evolution from the semi-analytic approach are in good agreement with the results of numerical simulations. Strong radiation pressure in the interior controls the shell expansion indirectly by enhancing the density and pressure at the ionization front. We calculate the minimum star formation efficiency $epsilon_{min}$ required for cloud disruption as a function of the clouds total mass and mean surface density. Within the adopted spherical geometry, we find that typical giant molecular clouds in normal disk galaxies have $epsilon_{min} lesssim 10$%, with comparable gas and radiation pressure effects on shell expansion. Massive cluster-forming clumps require a significantly higher efficiency of $epsilon_{min} gtrsim 50$% for disruption, produced mainly by radiation-driven expansion. The disruption time is typically of the order of a free-fall timescale, suggesting that the cloud disruption occurs rapidly once a sufficiently luminous H II region is formed. We also discuss limitations of the spherical idealization.
Using the PMO-13.7 m millimeter telescope at Delingha in China, we have conducted a large-scale simultaneous survey of $^{12}$CO, $^{13}$CO, and C$^{18}$O $J=1-0$ emission toward the sky region centered at $l$=$209.7^circ$, $b$=$-$2.25$^circ$ with a coverage of $4.0^circ times 4.5^circ$. The majority of the emission in the region comes from the clouds with velocities lying in the range from $-$3 km s$^{-1}$ to 55 km s$^{-1}$, at kinematic distances from 0.5 kpc to 7.0 kpc. The molecular clouds in the region are concentrated into three velocity ranges. The molecular clouds associated with the ten H II regions/candidates are identified and their physical properties are presented. Massive stars are found within Sh2-280, Sh2-282, Sh2-283, and BFS54, and we suggest them to be the candidate excitation sources of the H II regions. The distributions of excitation temperature and line width with the projected distance from the center of H II region/candidate suggest that the majority of the ten H II regions/candidates and their associated molecular gas are three-dimensional structures, rather than two-dimensional structures.
This work aims at improving the current understanding of the interaction between H ii regions and turbulent molecular clouds. We propose a new method to determine the age of a large sample of OB associations by investigating the development of their associated H ii regions in the surrounding turbulent medium. Using analytical solutions, one-dimensional (1D), and three-dimensional (3D) simulations, we constrained the expansion of the ionized bubble depending on the turbulent level of the parent molecular cloud. A grid of 1D simulations was then computed in order to build isochrone curves for H ii regions in a pressure-size diagram. This grid of models allowed to date large sample of OB associations and was used on the H ii Region Discovery Survey (HRDS). Analytical solutions and numerical simulations showed that the expansion of H ii regions is slowed down by the turbulence up to the point where the pressure of the ionized gas is in a quasi-equilibrium with the turbulent ram pressure. Based on this result, we built a grid of 1D models of the expansion of H ii regions in a profile based on Larson laws. The 3D turbulence is taken into account by an effective 1D temperature profile. The ages estimated by the isochrones of this grid agree well with literature values of well-known regions such as Rosette, RCW 36, RCW 79, and M16. We thus propose that this method can be used to give ages of young OB associations through the Galaxy such as the HRDS survey and also in nearby extra-galactic sources.
The Ly$alpha$ emission line is one of the most promising probes of cosmic reionisation but isolating the signature of a change in the ionisation state of the IGM is challenging because of intrinsic evolution and internal radiation transfer effects. W e present the first study of the evolution of Ly$alpha$ emitters (LAE) during the epoch of reionisation based on a full radiation-hydrodynamics cosmological simulation that is able to capture both the large-scale process of reionisation and the small-scale properties of galaxies. We predict the Ly$alpha$ emission of galaxies in the $10^3$ cMpc$^3$ SPHINX simulation at $6leq zleq9$ by computing the full Ly$alpha$ radiation transfer from ISM to IGM scales. SPHINX is able to reproduce many observational constraints such as the UV/Ly$alpha$ luminosity functions and stellar mass functions at z $geq$ 6 for the dynamical range probed by our simulation ($M_{rm 1500}gtrsim-18$, $L_{rm Lyalpha}lesssim10^{42}$ erg/s, $M_{star}lesssim10^9$ M$_{odot}$). As intrinsic Ly$alpha$ emission and internal Ly$alpha$ escape fractions barely evolve from $z=6$ to 9, the observed suppression of Ly$alpha$ luminosities with increasing redshift is fully attributed to IGM absorption. For most observable galaxies ($M_{rm 1500}lesssim-16$), the Ly$alpha$ line profiles are slightly shifted to the red due to internal radiative transfer effects which mitigates the effect of IGM absorption. Overall, the enhanced Ly$alpha$ suppression during reionisation traces the IGM neutral fraction $x_{rm HI}$ well but the predicted amplitude of this reduction is a strong function of the Ly$alpha$ peak shift, which is set at ISM/CGM scales. We find that a large number of LAEs could be detectable in very deep surveys during reionisation when $x_{rm HI}$ is still $approx 50%$.
