We present statistical properties of diffuse Lyman-alpha halos (LAHs) around high-$z$ star-forming galaxies with large Subaru samples of Lyman-alpha emitters (LAEs) at $z=2.2$. We make subsamples defined by the physical quantities of LAEs'…

We have used the SAURON panoramic integral field spectrograph to study the structure of the Ly-alpha emission-line halo, LAB1, surrounding the sub-millimeter galaxy SMM J221726+0013. This emission-line halo was discovered during a…

(ABRIDGED)The Ly$\alpha$ clouds at low redshifts (z < 1.7)observed by HST showed us two unexpected features: Lanzetta et.al.establised the association between Ly$\alpha$ clouds and galaxies, and Ulmer pointed out the strong clustering of…

Motivated by the recent discovery of the near-ubiquity of Ly$\alpha$ emission around $z \gtrsim 3$ QSOs, we performed a systematic study of QSO circumgalactic Ly$\alpha$ emission at $z\approx2$, utilizing the unique capability of the Keck…

We use high-resolution cosmological zoom-in simulations from the FIRE project to make predictions for the covering fractions of neutral hydrogen around galaxies at z=2-4. These simulations resolve the interstellar medium of galaxies and…
