Dark Galaxy Candidates at Redshift ~3.5 Detected with MUSE
Raffaella Anna Marino, Sebastiano Cantalupo, Simon J. Lilly +18
Recent theoretical models suggest that the early phase of galaxy formation could involve an epoch when galaxies are gas-rich but inefficient at forming stars: a "dark galaxy" phase…

Ubiquitous giant Ly nebulae around the brightest quasars at revealed with MUSE
Elena Borisova, Sebastiano Cantalupo, Simon J. Lilly +17
Direct Ly imaging of intergalactic gas at has recently revealed giant cosmological structures around quasars, e.g. the Slug Nebula (Cantalupo et al. 2014). Despite the…

Constraining the lifetime and opening angle of quasars using fluorescent Lyman emission: the case of Q0420-388
Elena Borisova, Simon J. Lilly, Sebastiano Cantalupo +3
A toy model is developed to understand how the spatial distribution of fluorescent emitters in the vicinity of bright quasars could be affected by the geometry of the quasar bi-con…
