"Ly-alpha blobs in the early universe"
ABSTRACT:
Large Ly-alpha nebulae, called Ly-alpha "blobs", are thought to be
mysterious objects associated with
the early universe. These Ly-alpha blobs may
reveal several important physical processes in galaxy
formation: gas accretion, photoionization by massive stars, and
galactic-scale winds. I will present our recent observational results on
Ly-alpha blobs obtained with several telescopes from Mauna Kea: Subaru,
JCMT, Keck, and SMA.
