[Abridged] We present the apparent stellar angular momentum of 300 galaxies across the Hubble sequence, using integral-field spectroscopic data from the CALIFA survey. Adopting the…
MUSEQuBES: Calibrating the redshifts of Ly α emitters using stacked circumgalactic medium absorption profiles
Sowgat Muzahid, Joop Schaye, Raffaella Anna Marino +17
Lyman (Ly) emission lines are typically found to be redshifted with respect to the systemic redshifts of galaxies, likely due to resonant scattering of Ly photons. Here w…
