The VANDELS survey: a strong correlation between Ly alpha equivalent width and stellar metallicity at 3 <= z <= 5

The VANDELS survey: a strong correlation between Ly alpha equivalent width and stellar metallicity at 3 <= z <= 5

We present the results of a new study investigating the relationship between observed Ly &#x3B1; equivalent width (W&#x3BB;(Ly &#x3B1;)) and the metallicity of the ionizing stellar population (Z&#x2605;) for a sample of 768 star-forming galaxies at 3 &#x2264; z &#x2264; 5 dra...
