text: Ly α emission lines are typically found to be redshifted with respect to the
systemic redshifts of galaxies, likely due to resonant scattering of Ly α photons.
Here, we measure the average velocity offset for a sample of 96 z ≈ 3.3 Ly α emitters
(LAEs) with a median Ly α flux (luminosity) of ≈10−17 erg cm−2 s−1 (≈1042 erg
s−1) and a median star formation rate (SFR) of ≈1.3 M⊙ yr−1 (not corrected for
possible dust extinction), detected by the Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer as
part of our MUSEQuBES circumgalactic medium (CGM) survey. By postulating that
the stacked CGM absorption profiles of these LAEs, probed by eight background
quasars, must be centred on the systemic redshift, we measure an average velocity
offset, Voffset = 171\pm 8 km s−1, between the Ly α emission peak and the systemic
redshift. The observed Voffset is lower by factors of ≈1.4 and ≈2.6 compared to
the velocity offsets measured for narrow-band-selected LAEs and Lyman break galaxies,
respectively, which probe galaxies with higher masses and SFRs. Consistent with
earlier studies based on direct measurements for individual objects, we find that
the Voffset is correlated with the full width at half-maximum of the red peak
of the Ly α line, and anticorrelated with the rest-frame equivalent width. Moreover,
we find that Voffset is correlated with SFR with a sub-linear scaling relation,
Voffset∝SFR0.16±0.03. Adopting the mass scaling for main-sequence galaxies, such
a relation suggests that Voffset scales with the circular velocity of the dark
matter haloes hosting the LAEs.

text: We investigate the clustering and halo properties of ∼5000 Ly α-selected emission-line
galaxies (LAEs) from the Slicing COSMOS 4K (SC4K) and from archival NB497 imaging
of SA22 split in 15 discrete redshift slices between z ∼ 2.5 and 6. We measure
clustering lengths of r0 ∼ 3–6 h−1 Mpc and typical halo masses of ∼1011 M⊙ for
our narrowband-selected LAEs with typical LLy α ∼ 1042–43 erg s−1. The intermediate-band-selected
LAEs are observed to have r0 ∼ 3.5–15 h−1 Mpc with typical halo masses of ∼1011–12
M⊙ and typical LLy α ∼ 1043–43.6 erg s−1. We find a strong, redshift-independent
correlation between halo mass and Ly α luminosity normalized by the characteristic
Ly α luminosity, L⋆(z). The faintest LAEs (L ∼ 0.1 L⋆(z)) typically identified
by deep narrowband surveys are found in 1010 M⊙ haloes and the brightest LAEs
(L ∼ 7 L⋆(z)) are found in ∼5 × 1012 M⊙ haloes. A dependency on the rest-frame
1500 Å UV luminosity, MUV, is also observed where the halo masses increase from
1011 to 1013 M⊙ for MUV ∼ −19 to −23.5 mag. Halo mass is also observed to increase
from 109.8 to 1012 M⊙ for dust-corrected UV star formation rates from ∼0.6 to
10 M⊙ yr−1 and continues to increase up to 1013 M⊙ in halo mass, where the majority
of those sources are active galactic nuclei. All the trends we observe are found
to be redshift independent. Our results reveal that LAEs are the likely progenitors
of a wide range of galaxies depending on their luminosity, from dwarf-like, to
Milky Way-type, to bright cluster galaxies. LAEs therefore provide unique insight
into the early formation and evolution of the galaxies we observe in the local
Universe.

text: We investigate the clustering properties of ∼7000 H β + [O III] and [O II]
narrowband-selected emitters at z ∼ 0.8–4.7 from the High-z Emission Line Survey.
We find clustering lengths, r0, of 1.5–4.0 h−1 Mpc and minimum dark matter halo
masses of 1010.7–12.1 M⊙ for our z = 0.8–3.2 H β + [O III] emitters and r0 ∼ 2.0–8.3
h−1 Mpc and halo masses of 1011.5–12.6 M⊙ for our z = 1.5–4.7 [O II] emitters.
We find r0 to strongly increase both with increasing line luminosity and redshift.
By taking into account the evolution of the characteristic line luminosity, L⋆(z),
and using our model predictions of halo mass given r0, we find a strong, redshift-independent
increasing trend between L/L⋆(z) and minimum halo mass. The faintest H β + [O III]
emitters are found to reside in 109.5 M⊙ haloes and the brightest emitters in
1013.0 M⊙ haloes. For [O II] emitters, the faintest emitters are found in 1010.5
M⊙ haloes and the brightest emitters in 1012.6 M⊙ haloes. A redshift-independent
stellar mass dependency is also observed where the halo mass increases from 1011
to 1012.5 M⊙ for stellar masses of 108.5 to 1011.5 M⊙, respectively. We investigate
the interdependencies of these trends by repeating our analysis in a Lline−Mstar
grid space for our most populated samples (H β + [O III] z = 0.84 and [O II] z
= 1.47) and find that the line luminosity dependency is stronger than the stellar
mass dependency on halo mass. For L > L⋆ emitters at all epochs, we find a relatively
flat trend with halo masses of 1012.5–13 M⊙, which may be due to quenching mechanisms
in massive haloes that is consistent with a transitional halo mass predicted by
models.

text: We present the CAlibrating LYMan-α with Hα (CALYMHA) pilot survey and new
results on Lyman α (Lyα) selected galaxies at z ∼ 2. We use a custom-built Lyα
narrow-band filter at the Isaac Newton Telescope, designed to provide a matched
volume coverage to the z = 2.23 Hα HiZELS survey. Here, we present the first results
for the COSMOS and UDS fields. Our survey currently reaches a 3σ line flux limit
of ∼4 × 10−17 erg s−1 cm−2, and a Lyα luminosity limit of ∼1042.3 erg s−1. We
find 188 Lyα emitters over 7.3 × 105 Mpc3, but also find significant numbers of
other line-emitting sources corresponding to He II, C III] and C IV emission lines.
These sources are important contaminants, and we carefully remove them, unlike
most previous studies. We find that the Lyα luminosity function at z = 2.23 is
very well described by a Schechter function up to LLy α ≈ 1043 erg s−1 with L∗=1042.59+0.16−0.08
erg s−1, ϕ∗=10−3.09+0.14−0.34 Mpc−3 and α = −1.75 ± 0.25. Above LLy α ≈ 1043 erg
s−1, the Lyα luminosity function becomes power-law like, driven by X-ray AGN.
We find that Lyα-selected emitters have a high escape fraction of 37 ± 7 per cent,
anticorrelated with Lyα luminosity and correlated with Lyα equivalent width. Lyα
emitters have ubiquitous large (≈40 kpc) Lyα haloes, ∼2 times larger than their
Hα extents. By directly comparing our Lyα and Hα luminosity functions, we find
that the global/overall escape fraction of Lyα photons (within a 13 kpc radius)
from the full population of star-forming galaxies is 5.1 ± 0.2 per cent at the
peak of the star formation history. An extra 3.3 ± 0.3 per cent of Lyα photons
likely still escape, but at larger radii.

text: We use the hydrodynamical EAGLE simulation to study the magnitude and origin
of the scatter in the stellar mass–halo mass relation for central galaxies. We
separate cause and effect by correlating stellar masses in the baryonic simulation
with halo properties in a matched dark matter only (DMO) simulation. The scatter
in stellar mass increases with redshift and decreases with halo mass. At z = 0.1,
it declines from 0.25 dex at M200, DMO ≈ 1011 M⊙ to 0.12 dex at M200, DMO ≈ 1013
M⊙, but the trend is weak above 1012 M⊙. For M200, DMO < 1012.5 M⊙ up to 0.04
dex of the scatter is due to scatter in the halo concentration. At fixed halo
mass, a larger stellar mass corresponds to a more concentrated halo. This is likely
because higher concentrations imply earlier formation times and hence more time
for accretion and star formation, and/or because feedback is less efficient in
haloes with higher binding energies. The maximum circular velocity, Vmax, DMO,
and binding energy are therefore more fundamental properties than halo mass, meaning
that they are more accurate predictors of stellar mass, and we provide fitting
formulae for their relations with stellar mass. However, concentration alone cannot
explain the total scatter in the Mstar−M200,DMO relation, and it does not explain
the scatter in Mstar–Vmax, DMO. Halo spin, sphericity, triaxiality, substructure
and environment are also not responsible for the remaining scatter, which thus
could be due to more complex halo properties or non-linear/stochastic baryonic
effects.
