Fig. 3: Morphologically disturbed and filamentary distribution of gas in the surroundings of W0410-0913.

From: Detection of companion galaxies around hot dust-obscured hyper-luminous galaxy W0410-0913

Fig. 3

In panels a, b we show a composition of the optimally extracted Lyman-α flux maps and kinematic maps of galaxies in the overdensity, respectively, obtained by computing the moment-0 and moment-1 of the voxels detected in their 3D-segmentation-masks (see subsection A study of the 3D distribution of gas around W0410-0913 in Methods). The three-dimensional distribution of gas around galaxies in the denser dynamic volume (with offset velocities in the range [−2.500; +1.500] km s−1) is suggestive of connecting filamentary structures on scales up to 100 kpc (see white and black scales).
