Herschel-PACS far-infrared detections of Lyman-α emitters at 2.0 ≲ z ≲ 3.5
In this work we analyse the physical properties of a sample of 56 spectroscopically selected star-forming (SF) Lyα emitting galaxies at 2.0 ≲ z ≲ 3.5 using both a spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting procedure from rest-frame UV to mid-IR and direct 160 μm FIR observations taken with the Photodetector Array Camera and Spectrometer (PACS) instrument onboard the Herschel Space Observatory. We define LAEs as those Lyα-emitting galaxies whose rest-frame Lyα equivalent widths (Lyα EW<SUB>rest – frame</SUB>) are above 20 Å, the typical threshold in narrow-band...
