Lyman-α Emitters and Lyman-break Galaxies at Z = 3− 6 in Cosmological Sph Simulations
We study the properties of Lyman-α emitters (LAEs) and Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs) at z = 3−6 using cosmological SPH simulations. We investigate two simple scenarios for explaining the observed Lyα and rest-frame UV luminosity functions (LFs) of LAEs: (i) the “escape fraction” scenario, in which the effective escape fraction (including the IGM attenuation) of Lyα photons is fLyα ≈ 0.1 (0.15) at...
متن کاملLUMINOSITY FUNCTION OF REDSHIFT z ∼ 5 . 7 LYMAN ALPHA EMITTERS
We report the results of a wide-field narrowband survey for redshift z ∼ 5.7 Lyα emitters carried out with the 34 × 27 field-of-view SuprimeCam mosaic CCD camera on the Subaru 8.3-m telescope. Deep narrowband imaging of the SSA22 field through a 120 Å bandpass filter centered at a nominal wavelength of 8150 Å was combined with deep multicolor RIz broadband imaging with SuprimeCam, then suppleme...
متن کاملLyman Break Galaxies at Redshift Z∼3: Survey Description and Full Data Set
We present the basic data for a large ground-based spectroscopic survey for z ∼ 3 “Lyman break galaxies” (LBGs), photometrically selected using rest-UV colors from very deep images in 17 high Galactic latitude fields. The total survey covers an area of 0.38 square degrees, and includes 2347 photometrically-selected candidate LBGs to an apparent RAB magnitude limit of 25.5. Approximately half of...
متن کاملThe Angular Clustering of Lyman-break Galaxies at Redshift
We have measured the angular correlation function w(θ) for a sample of 871 Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs) in five fields at redshift z ∼ 3. Fitting the power-law Awθ −β to a weighted average of w(θ) from the five fields over the range 12 < ∼ θ < ∼ 330 arcsec, we find Aw ∼ 2 arcsec and β ∼ 0.9. The slope is, within the errors, the same as for galaxy samples in the local and intermediate redshift un...
متن کاملThe Clustering Properties of Lyman–break Galaxies at Redshift
We present a new measure of the angular two–point correlation function of Lyman–break galaxies (LBGs) at z ∼ 3, obtained from the variance of galaxy counts in 2–dimensional cells. By avoiding binning of the angular separations, this method is significantly less affected by shot noise than traditional measures, and allows for a more accurate determination of the correlation function. We used a s...
