text: We present spatially resolved maps of six individually-detected Lyman α haloes
(LAHs) as well as a first statistical analysis of the Lyman α (Lyα) spectral signature
in the circum-galactic medium of high-redshift star-forming galaxies (−17.5 >
MUV > −21.5) using the Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer. Our resolved spectroscopic
analysis of the LAHs reveals significant intrahalo variations of the Lyα line
profile. Using a three-dimensional two-component model for the Lyα emission, we
measured the full width at half maximum (FWHM), the peak velocity shift, and the
asymmetry of the Lyα line in the core and in the halo of 19 galaxies. We find
that the Lyα line shape is statistically different in the halo compared to the
core (in terms of width, peak wavelength, and asymmetry) for ≈40% of our galaxies.
Similarly to object-by-object based studies and a recent resolved study using
lensing, we find a correlation between the peak velocity shift and the width of
the Lyα line both at the interstellar and circum-galactic scales. This trend has
been predicted by radiative transfer simulations of galactic winds as a result
of resonant scattering in outflows. While there is a lack of correlation between
the spectral properties and the spatial scale lengths of our LAHs, we find a correlation
between the width of the line in the LAH and the halo flux fraction. Interestingly,
UV bright galaxies (MUV < −20) show broader, more redshifted, and less asymmetric
Lyα lines in their haloes. The most significant correlation found is for the FWHM
of the line and the UV continuum slope of the galaxy, suggesting that the redder
galaxies have broader Lyα lines. The generally broad and red line shapes found
in the halo component suggest that the Lyα haloes are powered either by scattering
processes through an outflowing medium, fluorescent emission from outflowing cold
clumps of gas, or a mix of both. Considering the large diversity of the Lyα line
profiles observed in our sample and the lack of strong correlation, the interpretation
of our results is still broadly open and underlines the need for realistic spatially
resolved models of the LAHs.

text: Observations have revealed that the star formation rate (SFR) and stellar
mass (Mstar) of star-forming galaxies follow a tight relation known as the galaxy
main sequence. However, what physical information is encoded in this relation
is under debate. Here, we use the EAGLE cosmological hydrodynamical simulation
to study the mass dependence, evolution, and origin of scatter in the SFR–Mstar
relation. At z = 0, we find that the scatter decreases slightly with stellar mass
from 0.35 dex at Mstar ≈ 109 M⊙ to 0.30 dex at Mstar ≳ 1010.5 M⊙. The scatter
decreases from z = 0 to z = 5 by 0.05 dex at Mstar ≳ 1010 M⊙ and by 0.15 dex for
lower masses. We show that the scatter at z = 0.1 originates from a combination
of fluctuations on short time-scales (ranging from 0.2–2 Gyr) that are presumably
associated with self-regulation from cooling, star formation, and outflows, but
is dominated by long time-scale (∼10 Gyr) variations related to differences in
halo formation times. Shorter time-scale fluctuations are relatively more important
for lower mass galaxies. At high masses, differences in black hole formation efficiency
cause additional scatter, but also diminish the scatter caused by different halo
formation times. While individual galaxies cross the main sequence multiple times
during their evolution, they fluctuate around tracks associated with their halo
properties, i.e. galaxies above/below the main sequence at z = 0.1 tend to have
been above/below the main sequence for ≫1 Gyr.

text: We present a sample of ∼1000 emission-line galaxies at z = 0.4–4.7 from the
∼0.7deg2 High-z Emission-Line Survey in the Boötes field identified with a suite
of six narrow-band filters at ≈0.4–2.1 μm. These galaxies have been selected on
their Ly α (73), [O II] (285), H β/[O III] (387) or H α (362) emission line, and
have been classified with optical to near-infrared colours. A subsample of 98
sources have reliable redshifts from multiple narrow-band (e.g. [O II]–H α) detections
and/or spectroscopy. In this survey paper, we present the observations, selection
and catalogues of emitters. We measure number densities of Ly α, [O II], H β/[O III]
and H α and confirm strong luminosity evolution in star-forming galaxies from
z ∼ 0.4 to ∼5, in agreement with previous results. To demonstrate the usefulness
of dual-line emitters, we use the sample of dual [O II]–H α emitters to measure
the observed [O II]/H α ratio at z = 1.47. The observed [O II]/H α ratio increases
significantly from 0.40 ± 0.01 at z = 0.1 to 0.52 ± 0.05 at z = 1.47, which we
attribute to either decreasing dust attenuation with redshift, or due to a bias
in the (typically) fibre measurements in the local Universe that only measure
the central kpc regions. At the bright end, we find that both the H α and Ly α
number densities at z ≈ 2.2 deviate significantly from a Schechter form, following
a power law. We show that this is driven entirely by an increasing X-ray/active
galactic nucleus fraction with line luminosity, which reaches ≈100 per cent at
line luminosities L ≳ 3 × 1044 erg s−1.
