Modeling 237 Lyman-α spectra of the MUSE-Wide survey.
GRONKE M.
Abstract (from CDS):
We compare 237 Lyman-α (Lyα) spectra of the MUSE-Wide survey to a suite of radiative transfer simulations consisting of a central luminous source within a concentric, moving shell of neutral gas, and dust. This six parameter shell-model has been used numerously in previous studies, however, on significantly smaller data-sets. We find that the shell-model can reproduce the observed spectral shape very well - better than the also common "Gaussian-minus-Gaussian" model which we also fitted to the dataset. Specifically, we find that ∼94% of the fits possess a goodness-of-fit value of p(χ2)>0.1. The large number of spectra allows us to robustly characterize the shell-model parameter range, and consequently, the spectral shapes typical for realistic spectra. We find that the vast majority of the Lyα spectral shapes require an outflow and only ∼5% are well-fitted through an inflowing shell. In addition, we find ∼46% of the spectra to be consistent with a neutral hydrogen column density <1017cm–2 - suggestive of a non-negligible fraction of continuum leakers in the MUSE-Wide sample. Furthermore, we correlate the spectral against the Lyα halo properties against each other but do not find any strong correlation.
