Abstract (from CDS):

We present a measurement of the fraction of Lyman α (Ly α) emitters (X_Ly α_) amongst HST continuum-selected galaxies at 3 < z < 6 with the Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) on the VLT. Making use of the first 24 MUSE-Wide pointings in GOODS-South, each having an integration time of 1 h, we detect 100 Ly α emitters and find X_Ly α_ >= 0.5 for most of the redshift range covered, with 29 per cent of the Ly α sample exhibiting rest equivalent widths (rest-EWs) <= 15 Å. Adopting a range of rest-EW cuts (0-75 Å), we find no evidence of a dependence of X_Ly α_ on either redshift or ultraviolet luminosity.
