Lyman Alpha Emitter Properties at z ~ 3
Abstract
We are undertaking a large galaxy survey centred on distant bright quasars in the form of the VLT LBG Redshift Survey (VLRS) to probe the intergalactic medium (IGM) of z ~ 3 galaxies. At present the VLRS survey consists of 9 fields in total, with spectroscopic observations of ~3,000 Lyman break galaxies (LBGs) taken with VLT VIMOS. We have also made the photometric observations of Lyman-alpha emitters (LAEs) in the deep imaging fields of the VLRS, taken by using Subaru Suprime-Cam, and aimed at studying the clustering properties of LAE galaxies. In this research, we use data from 7 fields to conduct the auto-correlation function of LAEs. We find the correlation length of with a slope ofwhich are in agreement with those of previous observations.Keywords: galaxies, evolution, high-redshiftReferences
