We present the first characterization of the circumgalactic medium of Ly$\alpha$ emitters (LAEs), using a sample of 96 $z\approx3.3$ LAEs detected with the VLT/MUSE in fields centered on 8 bright background quasars. The LAEs have low…
We present a study of the galaxy environment of 9 strong HI+CIV absorption line systems ($16.2<{\rm log}(N({\rm HI}))<21.2$) spanning a wide range in metallicity at $z\sim4-5$, using MUSE integral field and X-Shooter spectroscopic data…

We present the results from the search for Lyman Alpha emitters (LAEs) in the proximity of 11 CIV absorption systems at $z > 4.7$ in the spectrum of the QSO J1030+0524, using data from MUSE. We have found multiple LAE candidates close to…
We investigate cool HI gas traced by Lyman series absorption around 256 galaxies at z ~ 0.48 (median stellar mass, log10(M*/Msun) = 8.7) using 15 background quasars (median impact parameter, D = 140 pkpc), as part of the MUSE Quasar-fields…
We present the results of a blind search for Lyman $\alpha$ emitters (LAEs) in three deep archival $z\sim6$ quasar fields from VLT/MUSE using state-of-the-art detection algorithms. We explore their connection with absorbers-particularly C…
Observationally mapping the relation between galaxies and the intergalactic medium (IGM) is of key interest for studies of cosmic reionization. Diffuse hydrogen gas has typically been observed in HI Lyman-$\alpha$ (Ly$\alpha$) absorption in…
The correlation between neutral Hydrogen (HI) in the intergalactic medium (IGM) and galaxies now attracts great interests. We select four fields which include several coherently strong Ly$\alpha$ absorption systems at $z\sim2.2$ detected by…
We report observations from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and the VLA on the galactic environment, metallicity, and D/H in strong low-redshift Lya absorption systems toward the bright BL Lac object PKS 2155-304. GHRS/G160M spectra at 20…
Detections of extended Ly$\alpha$ halos (LAHs) around Ly$\alpha$ emitters (LAEs) have lately been reported on a regular basis, but their origin is still under investigation. Simulation studies predict that the outer regions of the extended…
Lyman$-\alpha$ (Ly$\alpha$) emission lines are typically found to be redshifted with respect to the systemic redshifts of galaxies, likely due to resonant scattering of Ly$\alpha$ photons. Here we measure the average velocity offset for a…
We investigate the connection between strong, blended Ly$\alpha$ absorption systems (SBLAs) and $\approx1000$ Ly$\alpha$ emitting galaxies (LAEs) at $z\gtrsim3$ in 28 quasar fields from the MUSE Analysis of Gas around Galaxies (MAGG)…

With close pairs of quasars at different redshifts, a background quasar sightline can be used to study a foreground quasar's environment in absorption. We use a sample of 650 projected quasar pairs to study the HI Lya absorption transverse…
We present results from two projects in which we have used the HI 21cm emission line as a tracer of gas-rich galaxy populations in the vicinity of Lyman-alpha absorbers. In the first case, we examine the HI environment of SBS 1543+593, the…
We describe a moderate-resolution (20-25 km/s) FUSE study of the low-redshift intergalactic medium. We report on studies of 7 extragalactic sightlines and 12 Ly-beta absorbers that correspond to Ly-alpha lines detected by HST/GHRS and STIS.…
According to modern cosmological models, galaxies are embedded within cosmic filaments, which supply a continuous flow of pristine gas, fueling star formation and driving their evolution. However, due to their low density, the direct…
