A measurement of galaxy halo mass from the surrounding H I Lyα absorption
We measure the dark matter halo masses of ≈ 2.36 UV colour-selected star-forming galaxies by matching the observed median H I Lyα absorption around them, as observed in the spectra of background QSOs, to the absorption around haloes above a given mass in cosmological simulations. Focusing on transverse separations 0-2 proper Mpc (pMpc) and line-of
