Radiative Transfer in Lyα Nebulae. I. Modeling a Continuous or Clumpy Spherical Halo with a Central Source
To understand the mechanism behind high- z Ly α nebulae, we simulate the scattering of Ly α in a H i halo about a central Ly α source. For the first time, we consider both smooth and clumpy distributions of halo gas, as well as a range of outflow speeds, total H i column densities, H i spatial conce...
