Abstract
The presence of neutral hydrogen in the inter-stellar medium (ISM) and inter-galactic medium (IGM) induces radiative transfer (RT) effects on Lyα photons which affect the observability of Lyα emitters (LAEs). We use the GALFORM semi-analytic model of galaxy formation and evolution to analyse how these effects shape the spatial distribution of LAEs with respect to Hα emitters (HAEs) around high density regions at high redshift. We find that when a large sample of protoclusters is considered, HAEs showing also Lyα emission (HAEs+LAEs) populate the same regions as those that do not display the Lyα line at z = 2.2. We compare against the protocluster USS1558-003, one of the most massive protoclusters located at z = 2.53. Our results indicate that the strong depletion of HAEs+LAEs present in the high density regions of USS1558-003 may be due to cosmic variance. We find that at z = 2.2 and z = 3.0, RT of the ISM produces a strong decline (30-50 per cent) of the clustering amplitude of HAEs+LAEs with respect to HAEs towards the protoclusters centre. At z = 5.7, given the early evolutionary state of protoclusters and galaxies, the clustering of HAEs+LAEs has a smaller variation (10-20 per cent) towards the protoclusters centre. Depending on the equivalent width and luminosity criteria of the emission-line galaxy sample, the IGM can have a mild or a null effect on galaxy properties and clustering in high density regions.
