1. The Lyman-  halo of B2 0902+34: Evidence for infall of extended HI Joshua Adams & Gary Hill University of Texas, Austin Department of Astronomy 3D2008 ESO Workshop Garching, 6-13-08

2. Overview High Redshift Radio Galaxy (HzRG) Lyman-  halo science motivation New integral field spectroscopy data on B2 0902+34 New Monte Carlo resonant scattering model Future observations and model discrimination

3. Why bother with HzRG halos? “While LABs are known to exist around radio- loud quasars, they are attributable to known jets and supernova-driven outflows, and we do not attempt to model them here.” Dijkstra et al. (2006b) “(The LSBHs) which extends across the entire object and beyond the edge of the radio lobes shows no apparent association with radio structures.” Villar-Martin et al. (2002)

5. HzRG Lyman  background van Ojik et al. (1997) find spatially resolved line profile structure in 11/18 HzRGs Villar-Martin et al. (2003) find LSBHs in 10/10 HzRGs + at least 4 more known Similarly, 5 quasars (Christensen et al. (2006),Weidinger et al. (2004)) show extended emission Unknown relation, if any, to LABs

6. Existing B2 0902+34 data Reuland et al. 2007 Exciting new spectral feature Inclination of northern radio jet is >30˚ and <45˚ (Carilli 1995) 21 cm HI absorption at z=3.3968 with FWHM=120 km/s and N=3x10 21 cm -2 (Uson et al. 1991 and others) Normal line ratios for pure AGN photoionization in Ly- , CIV 1549, and HeII 1640 (Villar-Martín et al. 2007)

12. Failing explanations for B2… Optically Thin Infall –No bimodal line profile allowed –Too small FWHMs MRC 1558-003, Villar-Martin et al., 2007 Q1205-30, Weidinger et al., 2004

13. Failing explanations for B2… Outflow (Reuland et al. 2007) –Where is the 21cm HI population in Ly-  ? –Why is there no line profile bimodality in the NE? Wilman et al., 2005

14. Our model: resonant scattering Monte Carlo Resonant Scattering code with 7x10 5 photons per simulation Biconal emission geometry per the Alignment Effect (McCarthy 1993) Isothermal NFW profile, baseline simulation uses 6x10 12 M s halo with r v =134 kpc and r i =97 kpc

15. Model Geometry Tunable parameters: 1) total halo mass 2) ionization radius 3)velocity strength 4)velocity power law with radius

16. Monte Carlo radiative transfer Pick a random optical depth from exponential deviate in random direction Transform to scattering particle’s rest frame Obtain scatterer’s parallel velocity from the following pdf: Obtain scatterer’s Maxwellian perpendicular velocity Obtain scattering direction from dipole distribution Transform back to observer’s frame Repeat
