Lyman-alpha radiative transfer in Star-forming galaxies

open access: yes, 2015
This thesis focuses on the intrinsically strongest spectral signature of star-forming galaxies: the Lyman alpha recombination line of the hydrogen atom (hereafter Lya). Located at the wavelength of 1215.67 Å in the restframe far-ultraviolet spectra of star-forming galaxies, the Lya line proves to be a vital tracer and a powerful emission-line window to

QSO Lyman-Alpha Absorbers and Galaxy Halos

Astrophysics and Space Science, 1998
We review the current status of our survey of galaxies in fields of HST target QSOs, which has allowed us to identify the galaxies responsible for a number of Lyman-α absorption systems. We emphasize the use of QSO absorption lines to study the structure and kinematics of the large gaseous halos that virtually all galaxies appear to possess.

Lyman-Alpha Galaxies in 1988

1989
Lyman — α emission dominates the UV spectra of the roughly 18 radio galaxies observed to date with z > 1.6. I discuss three categories of such objects; (a) “normal”, large and distant radio galaxies with developed continuum structures, often aligned with the radio source, (b) 2–3 “blobbier”, less symmetric objects with weaker continua, but still ...

Lyman-Alpha Galaxies at Large Redshifts

1988
Strong Lyα emission has been detected from several different types of distant galaxies, radio galaxies and their companions at z ≃ 1.8, and galaxy companions of quasars at z > 3. This line emission is a good way of detecting galaxies at very large redshifts, and a powerful probe of the physical conditions and processes in them.

Lyman Alpha Emission and Absorption in Local Galaxies

2019
Lecture notes concerning observations of the Lyman alpha (Ly\(\alpha \)) transition of atomic hydrogen in low-redshift (z) galaxies. Section 1 discusses the main motivations, astrophysical prerequisites, and definitions. Section 2 describes the various instruments that have contributed to the field or are currently capable of observing Ly\(\alpha \) at
