Galaxy Formation in Lyman-alpha or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Scattered Light
Event Start:
2021-03-08T15:00:00
Event End:
2021-03-08T16:00:00
Event Information:
Lyman-alpha emission is produced ubiquitously by excited hydrogen, so it is a powerful tracer of the interactions among gas, stars, and AGN that shape galaxy formation. However, the resonant scattering of this emission line makes its interpretation complex. In this talk, I will describe three related surveys of galaxies at z~2-3 that make use of Lyman-alpha emission: the Keck Baryonic Structure Survey (KBSS), the KBSS-Lya, and the Keck Lyman Continuum Survey (KCLS).
