Ubiquitous giant lyα nebulae around the brightest quasars at z ∼ 3.5 revealed with muse

Direct Lyα imaging of intergalactic gas at z ∼ 2 has recently revealed giant cosmological structures around quasars, e.g., the Slug Nebula. Despite their high luminosity, the detection rate of such systems in narrow-band and spectroscopic surveys is less than 10%, possibly encoding crucial informati...
