The Lyα Forest Around High Redshift Galaxies
Motivated by the relative lack of neutral hydrogen around Lyman Break Galaxies deduced from recent observations, we investigate the properties of the Lyα forest around high redshift galaxies. The study is based on improved numerical SPH simulations implementing, in addition to standard processes, a new scheme for multiphase and outflow physics description. Although on large scales our simulatio...
متن کاملThe Polarization of Scattered Lyα Radiation Around High-Redshift Galaxies
The high-redshift Universe contains luminous Lyα emitting sources such as galaxies and quasars. The emitted Lyα radiation is often scattered by surrounding neutral hydrogen atoms. We show that the scattered Lyα radiation obtains a high level of polarization for a wide range of likely environments of high-redshift galaxies. For example, the back-scattered Lyα flux observed from galaxies surround...
متن کاملThe Proximity Effect Around High Redshift Galaxies
Recent observations have shown that the intergalactic medium (IGM) is more transparent to Lyα photons close to Lyman Break Galaxies (LBGs) than at large distance from them, i.e. a proximity effect. Cosmological simulations including winds from LBGs have been so far unable to explain this trend. By coupling such simulations with the radiative transfer code CRASH, we investigate whether the addit...
متن کاملThe mass-metallicity relation for high-redshift damped Lyα galaxies
We used our database of ESO VLT-UVES spectra of quasars to build up a sample of 67 Damped Lyman-α (DLA) systems with redshifts 1.7 < zabs < 3.7. For each system, we measured average metallicities relative to Solar, [X/H] (with either X = Zn, S or Si), and the velocity widths of low-ionization line profiles, W1. We find that there is a tight correlation between the two quantities, detected at th...
متن کاملLyα Absorption around Nearby Galaxies
We have used STIS aboard HST to search for Lyα absorption lines in the outer regions of eight nearby galaxies using background QSOs and AGN as probes. Lyα lines are detected within a few hundred km s−1 of the systemic velocity of the galaxy in all cases. We conclude that a background line of sight which passes within 26 − 200 h−1 kpc of a foreground galaxy is likely to intercept low column dens...
