Revealing the nature of a Lyman-$α$ halo in a strongly-lensed interacting system at $z=2.92$

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Gladders | First 5 Authors: Manuel Solimano, Jorge González-López, Manuel Aravena, Evelyn Johnston, Cristóbal Moya-Sierralta | Summary: Spatially extended halos of Lyman Alpha (Ly$alpha$) emission are now ubiquitously found around high-redshift star-forming galaxies. But our understanding of the nature and powering mechanisms of these halos is still hampered by the complex radiative […]
