Using Polarization to Uncover the Lyα Emission Mechanism in Lyα Nebulae

Using Polarization to Uncover the Lyα Emission Mechanism in Lyα Nebulae

“Ly α nebulae” are immense (∼100 kpc) glowing gas clouds located in the distant universe, and the origin of their extended Ly α emission remains a mystery. Mapping their polarization offers critical insights, but imaging polarimetry to date has revealed polarization patterns that are difficult to in...
