Lyman Alpha Radiation in External Galaxies
The Lya line of atomic hydrogen is often a luminous component of the radiation emitted by distant galaxies. Except for those galaxies which have a substantial central source of non-stellar ionizing radiation, most of the Lya radiation emitted by galaxies is generated within regions of the interstellar medium which are photoionized by starlight. Conversely, much of the energy radiated by photoio...
متن کاملRadiation Pressure in Lyman-α Forest Clouds
The effective recombination coefficient, αeff , is refined for optically thin cases. Radiation pressure in Lyman-α and HeII Lyman-α is calculated in terms of the number density and the mean free path. Pressure equilibrium between Lyman-α clouds and an adiabatically expanding inter-galactic medium is assumed, niTi = ncTc. Numerical models of isothermal and adiabatic expanding Lyman-α forest clou...
متن کاملCooling Radiation and the Lyman-alpha Luminosity of Forming Galaxies
We examine the cooling radiation from forming galaxies in hydrodynamic simulations of the LCDM model (cold dark matter with a cosmological constant), focusing on the Lyα line luminosities of high-redshift systems. Primordial composition gas condenses within dark matter potential wells, forming objects with masses and sizes comparable to the luminous regions of observed galaxies. As expected, th...
متن کاملDamped Lyman - Alpha Galaxies
Some results from an imaging program to identify low-redshift (0.09 < z < 1.63) damped Lyα (DLA) galaxies are presented. The standard paradigm that was widely accepted a decade ago, that DLA galaxies are the progenitors of luminous disk galaxies, is now being seriously challenged. The indisputable conclusion from imaging studies at low redshift is that the morphological types of DLA galaxies ar...
متن کاملStellar Atmospheres Near an AGN: The Importance of Radiation Pressure from Trapped Lyman-α Photons
We derive an analytic expression for the intensity of resonance-line radiation “trapped” in a semi-infinite medium. Given a source function and destruction probability per scattering, the radiation pressure due to trapped photons can be calculated by numerically integrating over analytic functions. We apply this formalism to a plane-parallel model stellar atmosphere to calculate the radiation p...
