We investigate the clustering and halo properties of $sim 5000$ Ly$alpha$-selected emission line galaxies (LAEs) from the Slicing COSMOS 4K (SC4K) and from archival NB497 imaging of SA22 split in 15 discrete redshift slices between $z sim 2.5 - 6$. We measure clustering lengths of $r_0 sim 3 - 6 h^{-1}$ Mpc and typical halo masses of $sim 10^{11}$ M$_odot$ for our narrowband-selected LAEs with typical $L_{rm{Ly}alpha} sim 10^{42 - 43}$ erg s$^{-1}$. The intermediate band-selected LAEs are observed to have $r_0 sim 3.5 - 15 h^{-1}$ Mpc with typical halo masses of $sim 10^{11 - 12}$ M$_odot$ and typical $L_{rm{Ly}alpha} sim 10^{43 - 43.6}$ erg s$^{-1}$. We find a strong, redshift-independent correlation between halo mass and Ly$alpha$ luminosity normalized by the characteristic Ly$alpha$ luminosity, $L^star(z)$. The faintest LAEs ($L sim 0.1 L^star(z)$) typically identified by deep narrowband surveys are found in $10^{10}$ M$_odot$ halos and the brightest LAEs ($L sim 7 L^star(z)$) are found in $sim 5 times 10^{12}$ M$_odot$ halos. A dependency on the rest-frame 1500 AA~UV luminosity, M$_rm{UV}$, is also observed where the halo masses increase from $10^{11}$ to $10^{13}$ M$_odot$ for M$_rm{UV} sim -19$ to $-23.5$ mag. Halo mass is also observed to increase from $10^{9.8}$ to $10^{12.3}$ M$_odot$ for dust-corrected UV star formation rates from $sim 0.6$ to $10$ M$_odot$ yr$^{-1}$ and continues to increase up to $10^{13.5}$ M$_odot$ in halo mass, where the majority of those sources are AGN. All the trends we observe are found to be redshift-independent. Our results reveal that LAEs are the likely progenitors of a wide range of galaxies depending on their luminosity, from dwarf-like, to Milky Way-type, to bright cluster galaxies. LAEs therefore provide unique insight into the early formation and evolution of the galaxies we observe in the local Universe.
In this work we model the observed evolution in comoving number density of Lyman-alpha blobs (LABs) as a function of redshift, and try to find which mechanism of emission is dominant in LAB. Our model calculates LAB emission both from cooling radiati
We study the average Ly$alpha$ emission associated with high-$z$ strong (log $N$(H I) $ge$ 21) damped Ly$alpha$ systems (DLAs). We report Ly$alpha$ luminosities ($L_{rm Lyalpha}$) for the full as well as various sub-samples based on $N$(H I), $z$, $(
In this series of lectures, I review our observational understanding of high-$z$ Ly$alpha$ emitters (LAEs) and relevant scientific topics. Since the discovery of LAEs in the late 1990s, more than ten (one) thousand(s) of LAEs have been identified pho
We combine a semi-analytical model of galaxy formation with a very large simulation which follows the growth of large scale structure in a LambdaCDM universe to predict the clustering of Ly-alpha emitters. We find that the clustering strength of Ly-a
(abridged) Observing the signature of accretion from the intergalactic medium (IGM) onto galaxies at z~3 requires the detection of faint (L<<L*) galaxies embedded in a filamentary matrix of low-density, metal-poor gas coherent over hundreds of kpc. W
