Gas Accretion and Giant Lyman-alpha Nebulae
Sebastiano Cantalupo
Several decades of observations and discoveries have shown that high-redshift AGN and massive galaxies are often surrounded by giant Lyman-alpha nebulae extending in some cases up…
MUSE Deep-Fields: The Lya Luminosity Function in the Hubble Deep Field South at 2.91 < z < 6.64
Alyssa B. Drake, Bruno Guiderdoni, Jeremy Blaizot +14
We present the first estimate of the Lyα luminosity function using blind spectroscopy from the Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer, MUSE, in the Hubble Deep Field South. Using automa…
Discovery of an Enormous Ly nebula in a massive galaxy overdensity at
Zheng Cai, Xiaohui Fan, Yujin Yang +12
Enormous Ly Nebulae (ELANe), unique tracers of galaxy density peaks, are predicted to lie at the nodes and intersections of cosmic filamentary structures. Previous successful se…
The COS-Halos Survey: Origins of the Highly Ionized Circumgalactic Medium of Star-Forming Galaxies
Jessica K. Werk, J. Xavier Prochaska, Sebastiano Cantalupo +6
The total contribution of diffuse halo gas to the galaxy baryon budget strongly depends on its dominant ionization state. In this paper, we address the physical conditions in the h…
MUSE searches for galaxies near very metal-poor gas clouds at z~3: new constraints for cold accretion models
Michele Fumagalli, Sebastiano Cantalupo, Avishai Dekel +4
We report on the search for galaxies in the proximity of two very metal-poor gas clouds at z~3 towards the quasar Q0956+122. With a 5-hour MUSE integration in a ~500x500 kpc^2 regi…
Probing the intra-group medium of a z = 0.28 galaxy group
R. Bielby, N. H. M. Crighton, M. Fumagalli +4
We present new MUSE observations of a galaxy group probed by a background quasar. The quasar sightline passes between multiple galaxies, whilst showing at the same redshif…
