A young star-forming galaxy at z = 3.5 with an extended Lyman α halo seen with MUSE

Abstract: Spatially resolved studies of high-redshift galaxies, an essential insight into galaxy formation processes, have been mostly limited to stacking or unusually bright objects. We present here the study of a typical (L * , M = 6 × 10 9 M ) young lensed galaxy at z = 3.5, observed with Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE), for which we obtain 2D resolved spatial information of Lyα and, for the first time, of C III] emission. The exceptional signal-to-noise ratio of the data reveals UV emission and absorption l… Show more

“…The shell model has been used to fit observed Lyα spectra (e.g., recently by Verhamme et al 2015;Yang et al 2015;Patrício et al 2015) with surprising successgiven the simplicity of the model compared to the complexity of galactic structures. In the following, we use the improved pipeline described by Gronke et al (2015) to fit shell model spectra to Lyα spectra obtained from the clumpy model.…”

“…On the other hand, the spectra presented in Yang et al (2015) which cannot be reproduced by the shell-model might hint towards the need for an extension of the modelling parameter space. Also, the shell model has difficulties in reproducing surface-brightness profiles of spatially extended Lyα sources (Barnes & Haehnelt 2010, but see Patrício et al 2015).…”
