Radiative transfer distortions of Lyman α emitters: a new Fingers-of-God damping in the clustering in redshift space
Radiative transfer distortions of Lyman α emitters: a new Fingers-of-God damping in the clustering in redshift space
Complex radiative transfer (RT) of the Lyman-$\alpha$ photons poses a theoretical challenge to galaxy surveys which infer the large-scale structure with Lyman-$\alpha$ emitters (LAEs). Guided by RT simulations, prior studies investigated the impact of RT on the large-scale LAE clustering, and claimed that RT induces a selection effect which results …
