We present the highest redshift detections of resolved Lyman alpha emission, using Hubble Space Telescope/ACS F658N narrowband-imaging data taken in parallel with the Wide Field Camera 3 Early Release Science program in the GOODS CDF-S. We…

We first present new Subaru narrow-band observations of the Ly$\alpha$ halo around the quasi-stellar object (QSO) CFHQ J232908$-$030158 at $z=6.42$, which appears the most luminous and extended halo at $z>5$ ($L_{Ly\alpha}=9.8\times10^{43}$…

During the course of our deep optical imaging survey for Ly alpha emitters at z approximately 5.7 in the field around the z=5.74 quasar SDSSp J104433.04-012502.2, we have found a candidate strong emission-line source. Follow-up optical…

The spectrum of the quasar Q0055-269 ($z=3.66$) has been observed at the resolution of 14 km s$^{-1}$ in the wavelength interval 4750--6300 \AA. We give a list of Lyman$-\alpha$ lines and metal-line systems for which column densities and…

The radio galaxy MRC 1138-262 at z=2.16 is most likely a brightest cluster galaxy in an early stage of evolution. Here we present observations of the luminous emission line halo and the stellar components of this radio galaxy. Optical…

We report the first X-ray detection of 113 Lyman-alpha emitters at redshift z ~ 4.5. Only one source (J033127.2-274247) is detected in the Extended Chandra Deep Field South (ECDF-S) X-ray data, and has been spectroscopically confirmed as a…

We present new Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array (ALMA) 850um continuum observations of the original Lyman-alpha Blob (LAB) in the SSA22 field at z=3.1 (SSA22-LAB01). The ALMA map resolves the previously identified submillimeter…

We report a new technique to select 1.6<z<4.6 dusty Lyman-alpha emitters (LAEs), over a third of which are `blobs' (LABs) with emission extended on scales of 30-100kpc. Combining data from the NASA Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE)…

We describe narrowband and spectroscopic searches for emission-line star forming galaxies in the redshift range 3 to 6 with the 10 m Keck II Telescope. These searches yield a substantial population of objects with only a single strong…

We present deep MUSE integral-field unit (IFU) spectroscopic observations of the giant (~150 x 80 kpc) Ly-alpha halo around the z=4.1 radio galaxy TNJ J1338-1942. This 9-hr observation maps the two-dimensional kinematics of the Ly-alpha…

Extended Lyman-alpha emission is now commonly detected around high redshift galaxies through stacking and even on individual basis. Despite recent observational advances, the physical origin of these Lyman-alpha halos (LAHs), as well as…

We report results of a deep wide-field narrowband survey for redshift z~5.7 Ly alpha emitters carried out with SuprimeCam on Subaru 8.3-m telescope. Deep narrowband imaging of the SSA22 field through a 120 A bandpass filter centered at 8150…

We analyse a 100-ks Chandra observation of the powerful radio galaxy, 4C60.07 at z=3.79. We identify extended X-ray emission with Lx~10^45 erg/s across a ~90-kpc region around the radio galaxy. The energetics of this X-ray halo and its…

High-redshift observations are often biased towards massive and bright galaxies that are not necessarily representative of the full population. In order to accurately study galaxy evolution and mass assembly at these redshifts, observations…

In this paper we present Monte-Carlo simulations of Lyman alpha absorption systems which originate in galactic haloes, galaxy discs and dark matter (DM) satellites around big central haloes. It is found that for strong Lyman alpha…

We report the discovery of Lyman alpha emission from a galaxy at z=5.34, the first object at z>5 with a spectroscopically confirmed redshift. The faint continuum emission (m(8000A)=27 AB mag), relatively small rest-frame equivalent width of…

Lyman alpha halos are observed ubiquitously around star-forming galaxies at high redshift, but their origin is still a matter of debate. We demonstrate that the emission from faint unresolved satellite sources, $M_{\rm UV} \gtrsim -17$,…

The Lyman alpha line is a robust tracer of high redshift galaxies. We present estimates of Lyman alpha emission from a protogalactic halo illuminated by UV background radiation fields with various intensities. For this purpose, we performed…

The study of ionized gas kinematics in high-z active galaxies plays a key part in our understanding of galactic evolution, in an age where nuclear activity was widespread and star formation close to its peak. We present a study of TXS…
