The Recent Burstiness of Star Formation in Galaxies at z∼ 4.5 from Hα Measurements
The Astrophysical Journal, 2019•iopscience.iop.org
Abstract The redshift range z= 4–6 marks a transition phase between primordial and mature
galaxy formation in which galaxies considerably increase their stellar mass, metallicity, and
dust content. The study of galaxies in this redshift range is therefore important to
understanding early galaxy formation and the fate of galaxies at later times. Here, we
investigate the burstiness of the recent star formation history (SFH) of 221z∼ 4.5 main-
sequence galaxies at $\mathrm {log}(M/{M} _ {\odot})\gt 9.7$

Abstract
The redshift range z= 4–6 marks a transition phase between primordial and mature galaxy formation in which galaxies considerably increase their stellar mass, metallicity, and dust content. The study of galaxies in this redshift range is therefore important to understanding early galaxy formation and the fate of galaxies at later times. Here, we investigate the burstiness of the recent star formation history (SFH) of 221z∼ 4.5 main-sequence galaxies at
