Ly-alpha excess in high redshift radio galaxies: a signature of star formation
M. Villar-Martin, A. Humphrey, C. De Breuck +3
About 54% of radio galaxies at z>3 and 8% of radio galaxies at 2<z<3 show unusually strong Ly-alpha emission, compared with the general population of high redshift (z>2) radio gala…
Giant Lyman-alpha nebulae around z>2 radio galaxies: evidence for infall
A. Humphrey, M. Villar-Martin., R. Fosbury +4
We present an investigation into the possible relationship between side-to-side asymmetries of powerful radio galaxies at high redshift, with the goal of understanding the geometry…
Giant Ly-alpha nebulae in the high redshift (z>2) Universe
Montse Villar-Martin
High redshift radio galaxies (z>2) are believed to be progenitors of the giant ellipticals of today. They are often associated with giant Ly-alpha nebulae (sometimes >100 kpc), whi…
Ionization of large-scale absorbing haloes and feedback events from high-redshift radio galaxies
L. Binette, R. J. Wilman, M. Villar-Martin +3
We present photoionization calculations for the spatially-extended absorbers observed towards the extended emission line spectrum of two high-redshift radio galaxies: 0943-242 (z=2…
Jet-gas interactions in z~2.5 radio galaxies: evolution of the ultraviolet line and continuum emission with radio morphology
A. Humphrey, M. Villar-Martin, R. Fosbury +2
We present an investigation into the nature of the jet-gas interactions in a sample of 10 radio galaxies at 2.3<z<2.9 using deep spectroscopy of the UV line and continuum emission…
