The contribution of faint Lyman-\(\alpha\) emitters to extended Lyman-\(\alpha\) halos constrained by MUSE clustering measurements

Detections of extended Ly\(\alpha\) halos (LAHs) around Ly\(\alpha\) emitters (LAEs) have lately been reported on a regular basis, but their origin is still under investigation. Simulation studies predict that the outer regions of the extended LAHs contain a major contribution from the Ly\(\alpha\)...

Zusammenfassung:Detections of extended Ly\(\alpha\) halos (LAHs) around Ly\(\alpha\) emitters (LAEs) have lately been reported on a regular basis, but their origin is still under investigation. Simulation studies predict that the outer regions of the extended LAHs contain a major contribution from the Ly\(\alpha\) emission of faint, individually undetected LAEs. To address this matter from an observational angle, we use halo occupation distribution (HOD) modeling to reproduce the clustering of a spectroscopic sample of 1265 LAEs at \(3
