Constraining the geometry of the gas surrounding a typical galaxy at $z=3.4$ with Ly$\hat{I}\pm$ polarization

Ly$\hat{I}\pm$ emission is the strongest tracer of recombining ionized hydrogen in young, star-forming galaxies, but its origin is still debated. Ly$\hat{I}\pm$ arises when emitted photons scatter…
