A population of faint extended line emitters and the host galaxies of optically thick QSO absorption systems (2008)
Journal Article
Rauch, M., Haehnelt, M., Bunker, A., Becker, G., Marleau, F., Graham, J., …Theuns, T. (2008). A population of faint extended line emitters and the host galaxies of optically thick QSO absorption systems. Astrophysical Journal, 681(2), 856-880. https://doi.org/10.1086/525846

We have conducted a long-slit search for low surface brightness Lyα emitters at redshift 2.67 < z < 3.75. A 92 hr long exposure with the ESO VLT FORS2 instrument down to a 1 σ surface brightness detection limit of 8 × 10−20 erg cm−2 s−1 arcsec−2 per...

The properties of Ly-alpha emitting galaxies in hierarchical galaxy formation models (2006)
Journal Article
Le Delliou, M., Lacey, C., Baugh, C., & Morris, S. (2006). The properties of Ly-alpha emitting galaxies in hierarchical galaxy formation models. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 365(3), 712-726. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2005.09797.x

We present detailed predictions for the properties of Lyα-emitting galaxies in the framework of the Λ cold dark matter cosmology, calculated using the semi-analytical galaxy formation model galform. We explore a model that assumes a top-heavy initial... Read More about The properties of Ly-alpha emitting galaxies in hierarchical galaxy formation models.

The abundance of Lyα emitters in hierarchical models (2005)
Journal Article
Le Delliou, M., Lacey, C., Baugh, C., Guiderdoni, B., Bacon, R., Courtois, H., …Morris, S. (2005). The abundance of Lyα emitters in hierarchical models. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 357(1), L11-L15. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1745-3933.2005.00007.x

We present predictions for the abundance of Lyα emitters in hierarchical structure formation models. We use the GALFORM semi-analytical model of galaxy formation to explore the impact on the predicted counts of varying assumptions about the escape fr...
