The Lyman-alpha Emission Line as a Cosmological Tool
Kim K. Nilsson
This thesis deals with different aspects of a special kind of high redshift galaxy, namely Ly-alpha emitters. Ly-alpha emitters are galaxies found through their Ly-alpha emission,…
Narrow-band surveys for very high redshift Lyman-alpha emitters
Kim K. Nilsson, Alvaro Orsi, Cedric G. Lacey +2
Context: Many current and future surveys aim to detect the highest redshift (z >~ 7) sources through their Lyman-alpha (Ly-alpha) emission, using the narrow-band imaging method. Ho…
An on-going multi-wavelength survey of Ly-alpha emitters at redshifts z = 2 - 8
Kim K. Nilsson, Johan P. U. Fynbo, Palle Moller +1
In the last decade, the technique of finding Ly-alpha emitters through narrow-band imaging has become a promising method of detecting high redshift galaxies. Ly-alpha emitters have…
A Lyman-alpha blob in the GOODS South field: evidence for cold accretion onto a dark matter halo
Kim Nilsson, Johan P. U. Fynbo, Palle Moller +2
We report on the discovery of a z = 3.16 Lyman-alpha emitting blob in the GOODS South field. The blob has a total Ly-alpha luminosity of ~ 10^(43) erg s^(-1) and a diameter larger…
