Lya is a key diagnostic for numerous observations of distant star-forming galaxies. Its interpretation requires, however, detailed radiation transfer models. We provide an extensive grid of 3D radiation transfer models simulating the Lya and UV continuum radiation transfer in the interstellar medium of star-forming galaxies. We have improved our Monte Carlo MCLya code, and have used it to compute a grid of 6240 radiation transfer models for homogeneous spherical shells containing HI and dust surrounding a central source. The simulations cover a wide range of parameter space. We present the detailed predictions from our models including in particular the Lya escape fraction fesc, the continuum attenuation, and detailed Lya line profiles. The Lya escape fraction is shown to depend strongly on dust content, but also on other parameters (HI column density and radial velocity). The predicted line profiles show a great diversity of morphologies ranging from broad absorption lines to emission lines with complex features. The results from our simulations are distributed in electronic format. Our models should be of use for the interpretation of observations from distant galaxies, for other simulations, and should also serve as an important base for comparison for future, more refined, radiation transfer models.
The dust in galaxies makes radiation transport calculations in them absolutely necessary. It is not only common practice in Astrophysics, but also wisdom, to try to make as simple models as possible to simulate physical systems. For spiral galaxies,
We present a continuum radiative transfer model grid for fitting observed spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of massive protostars. The model grid is based on the paradigm of core accretion theory for massive star formation with pre-assembled gravi
Evolution of galaxies is one of the most actual topics in astrophysics. Among the most important factors determining the evolution are two galactic components which are difficult or even impossible to detect optically: the gaseous disks and the dark
(Abridged) We present new optical and near-infrared imaging for a sample of 98 spectroscopically-selected galaxy groups at 0.25<z<0.55. We measure accurate colours for group members and the surrounding field population, statistically complete above a
We analyze the angular clustering of z~2.3 distant red galaxies (DRGs) measured by Quadri et al 2008. We find that, with robust estimates of the measurement errors and realistic halo occupation distribution modeling, the measured clustering can be we
