Title: Deciphering Lyman alpha emitting galaxies with
integral field <br>
spectroscopy<br>
<br>
Abstract:<br>
Lyman alpha emitting high-redshift galaxies offer insights
into galaxy <br>
formation processes in the young universe. Moreover, they
can be used <br>
to address cosmological questions regarding the "Epoch of
Reionisation" <br>
and the nature of dark energy. In my talk I will show how
integral <br>
field spectroscopy (IFS) is a viable observational technique
for such <br>
studies. In particular, I will detail how we use IFS data
to understand <br>
Lyman alpha escape mechanisms in a sample of nearby
high-redshift <br>
analogues. I will then show how we use the revolutionary
IFS instrument <br>
MUSE for conducting surveys of Lyman emitting galaxies in
the redshift <br>
range 3 < z < 6. Here I will provide an overview over
the latest <br>
results from those campaigns, with a particular focus on
luminosity <br>
function studies. My talk will conclude with new
(preliminary) results <br>
from a 17.5 hour MUSE integration of an extremely luminous
extended <br>
z=3.1 Lyman alpha emitter known as 'Lyman Alpha Blob 1'.<br>
