Revealing the Nature of a Lyman-$α$ Halo in a Strongly Lensed Interacting System at $z=2.92$

Posted by Chicago

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Gladders | First 5 Authors: Manuel Solimano, Jorge González-López, Manuel Aravena, Evelyn Johnston, Cristóbal Moya-Sierralta | Summary: Spatially extended halos of H I 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 […]
