Radiative Transfer in Lyα Nebulae: I. Modeling a Continuous or Clumpy Spherical Halo with a Central Source

Seok-Jun Chang, Yujin Yang, Kwang-Il Seon +2

To understand the mechanism behind high-$z$ Ly$\alpha$ nebulae, we simulate the scattering of Ly$\alpha$ in a $\mathrm{H}\mathrm{I}$ halo about a central Ly$\alpha$ source. For the first time, we consider bo…
