Lyman-α Emitters at Z=5.7
Lyman-α galaxies at high redshifts offer a powerful probe of both the formation of galaxies and the reionization of the intergalactic medium. Lyman-α line emission is an efficient tool for identifying young galaxies at high redshift, because it is strong in systems with young stars and little or no dust — properties expected in galaxies undergoing their first burst of star-formation. Lyman-α ga...
متن کاملLyman-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 کاملSpitzer Infrared Properties of Lyman α Emitters
We present results on the infrared properties of Lyman α emitters. At z=0.3 we demonstrate that our sample of 50 GALEX-identified emitters possess the same extinction properties as similarly ultraviolet-bright galaxies at the same redshift. The AGN fraction for these z=0.3 sources is low, 10-20%, and they show no correlation between Lyα flux and total infrared luminosity. At z=2.4-3.1 we discus...
متن کاملModelling high redshift Lyman α emitters
We present a new model for high redshift Lyman α emitters (LAEs) in the cosmological context which takes into account the resonant scattering of Lyα photons through expanding gas. The GALICS semi-analytic model provides us with the physical properties of a large sample of high redshift galaxies. We implement, in post-processing, a gas outflow model for each galaxy based on simple scaling argume...
متن کاملThree Lyman-α Emitters at Z ≈ 6: Early Gmos/gemini Data from the Glare Project
We report spectroscopic detection of three z ∼ 6 Lyman-α emitting galaxies, in the vicinity of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field, from the early data of the Gemini Lyman-α at Reionisation Era (GLARE) project. Two objects, GLARE#3001 (z = 5.79) and GLARE#3011 (z = 5.94), are new detections and are fainter in z (z AB = 26.37 and 27.15) than any Lyman break galaxy previously detected in Lymanα. A third ...
