THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN STELLAR POPULATIONS AND Lyα EMISSION IN LYMAN BREAK GALAXIES

We present the results of a photometric and spectroscopic survey of 321 Lyman break galaxies (LBGs) at z similar to 3 to investigate systematically the relationship between Ly alpha emission and stellar populations. Lya equivalent widths (W(Ly alpha)) were calculated from rest-frame UV spectroscopy and optical/near-infrared/Spitzer photom...更多
