Can galactic outflows explain the properties of Ly-alpha emitters?    [PDF]

Alvaro Orsi, Cedric G. Lacey, Carlton M. Baugh

We study the properties of Ly-alpha emitters in a cosmological framework by computing the escape of Ly-alpha photons through galactic outflows. We combine the GALFORM semi-analytical model of galaxy formation with a Monte Carlo Ly-alpha radiative transfer code.
