We develop a comprehensive theoretical model for Lyman-alpha emission, from the scale of individual Lyman-alpha emitters (LAEs) to Lyman-alpha halos (LAHs), Lyman-alpha blobs (LABs), and Lyman-alpha filaments (LAFs) of the diffuse cosmic…
We present the large-scale spatial Lya profiles of galaxies from the Keck Baryonic Structure Survey (KBSS) at 2<z<3. This work also describes the Lya imaging for the KBSS-Lya survey for the first time. Our sample includes 734 Lya-selected…
We model the $\lya$ forest in a spatially flat, CDM model with $\Omega=0.4$, with an Eulerian hydrodynamic simulation, and find that the intergalactic, photoionized gas collapses into sheet-like and filamentary structures which produce…
Hydrogen Ly-alpha is our primary emission-line window into high redshift galaxies. Surprisingly, despite an extensive literature, Ly-alpha radiative transfer in the most realistic case of a dusty, multi-phase medium has not received…
We extend a previous study of Lyman Alpha Emitters (LAEs) based on hydrodynamical cosmological simulations, by including two physical processes important for LAEs: (a) Lyman Alpha and continuum luminosities produced by cooling of…
The physical origin of diffuse Ly$\alpha$ halos (LAHs) around star-forming galaxies is still a matter of debate. We present the dependence of LAH luminosity ($L({\rm Ly}\alpha)_H$) on the stellar mass ($M_\star$), $SFR$, color excess…
Although quasar absorbers, and in particular Damped Lyman-alpha systems (DLAs) have proven a valuable tool to study the early Universe, their exact nature is so far poorly constrained. It has been suggested that outflows in galaxies might…
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…
ALMA observations have revealed that many high redshift galaxies are surrounded by extended (10-15 kpc) [CII]-emitting halos which are not predicted by even the most advanced zoom-in simulations. Using a semi-analytical model, in a previous…
It is suggested that a significant fraction of the low column-density absorption features seen in the spectra of quasars are produced in pressure-confined tidal debris, that was built up in small groups and clusters of galaxies over a…
Using the CoDa II simulation, we study the Ly$\alpha$ transmissivity of the intergalactic medium (IGM) during reionization. At $z>6$, a typical galaxy without an active galactic nucleus fails to form a proximity zone around itself due to…
We present a formalism that incorporates hydrogen Lyman-alpha (Ly$\alpha$) polarization arising from the scattering of radiation in galaxy halos into the intensity mapping approach. Using the halo model, and emission profiles based on…
At redshifts beyond z>6, as the mean fraction of neutral hydrogen x_HI in the intergalactic medium (IGM) increases, the line flux of Lyman alpha (Lya) emitters can be significantly suppressed, which can result in a decrease in the observed…
Detailed analysis of the substructure of Lya nebulae can put important constraints on the physical mechanisms at work and the properties of galaxies forming within them. Using high resolution HST imaging of a Lya nebula at z~2.656, we have…
Various types of galaxies observed in the cosmological scales show P-Cygni type profiles in the Lyman alpha emission lines. A Monte Carlo code is developed to investigate the Lyman alpha line transfer in an optically thick and moving medium…
In the near future galaxy surveys will target Lyman alpha emitting galaxies (LAEs) to unveil the nature of the dark energy. It has been suggested that the observability of LAEs is coupled to the large scale properties of the intergalactic…
A model of Lyman limit QSO absorption systems is investigated where they are produced in gaseous galactic halos with a two-phase structure: a hot phase at the halo virial temperature in approximate pressure equilibrium, and a cold,…
Over the past decade, Lyman-alpha and metal line absorption observations have established the ubiquity of a gas-rich circumgalactic medium (CGM) around star-forming galaxies at z~0.2 potentially tracing half of the missing baryonic mass…
We utilized Ly$\alpha$ radiative transfer calculations from \citet{Song2020} to investigate the properties of extended Ly$\alpha$ halos around star-forming galaxies in the \textit{Hubble} Ultra Deep Field, observed by the Multi-Unit…
We compute the polarization of the Lyman alpha line photons emerging from an anisotropically expanding and optically thick medium, which is expected to operate in many Lyman alpha emitting objects including the primeval galaxy DLA~2233+131…
