Context. Lyman-alpha (Lyα) radiation is now widely used to investigate the galaxy formation
and evolution in the high redshift universe. However, without a rigorous understanding of the …

Context. Among the different observational techniques used to select high-redshift galaxies,
the hydrogen recombination line Lyman-alpha (Lyα) is of particular interest because it gives …

Context. The Lyman-alpha (Lyα) recombination line is a fundamental tool for galaxy
evolution studies and modern observational cosmology. However, subsequent …

We quantify the contribution of Lyα fluorescence to observed spatially extended Lyα halos
around Lyα emitters at redshift z= 3.1. The key physical quantities that describe the …

We investigate the correlations between the observed fraction of Lyman-alpha (Lyα)
emission from star-forming galaxies and the large-scale structure by post-processing …

Context. Despite the privileged position that Lyman-α (Lyα) emission line holds in the
exploration of the distant universe and modern observational cosmology, the origin of the …

In this paper, a code for simulating the Lyα line profiles by the Monte Carlo method is
introduced. This code is developed on the basis of an idea given by Anne Verhamme et al …

The Lyman-alpha (Lya) recombination line is a fundamental tool for galaxy evolution studies
and modern observational cosmology. However, subsequent interpretations are still prone …
