Abstract

English

Lyman-alpha emitters have become an important tool for the study of star formation, galaxy formation and galaxy evolution. However, the non-linear radiative transport of Lyman-alpha radiation remains a puzzling problem. In this thesis, we present work done on radiative transport in various astrophysical environments, with a focus on possible contamination of large-scale surveys and the detailed modelling of anisotropic Lyman-alpha emitters. 
Keywords: radiative transport; galaxies; Lyman-alpa
