We present results from a new Keck spectroscopic survey of UV-faint LBGs in the redshift range 3<z<7. Combined with earlier Keck and published ESO VLT data, our sample contains more than 600 dropouts, offering new insight into the nature of…
[Abbreviated] We investigate the dependence of Lyman-$\alpha$ emitter (LAE) clustering on Lyman-$\alpha$ luminosity. We use 1030 LAEs from the MUSE-Wide survey, 679 LAEs from MUSE-Deep, and 367 LAEs from the to-date deepest ever…

Star-forming regions in galaxies are surrounded by vast reservoirs of gas capable of both emitting and absorbing Lyman-alpha (Lya) radiation. Observations of Lya emitters and spatially extended Lya haloes indeed provide insights into the…
