A Population of Faint Extended Line Emitters and the Host Galaxies of Optically Thick QSO Absorption Systems

We have conducted a long-slit search for low surface brightness Ly alpha emitters at redshift [image]. A 92 hr long exposure with the ESO VLT FORS2 instrument down to a 1 capital sigma surface brightness detection limit of [image] erg cm super(-2) s super(-1) arcsec super(-2) per arcsec super(2) ape...
