Tunable filter imaging of high-redshift quasar fields

We have used the Taurus Tunable Filter to search for Lyα emitters in the fields of three high-redshift quasars: two at z∼ 2.2 (MRC B1256-243 and MRC B2158-206) and one at z∼ 4.5 (BR B0019-1522). Our observations had a field of view of around 35arcmin 2, and reached AB magnitudes of ∼21 (MRC B1256-24...
