Overview
This page hosts the science products for our imaging study of local starburst
galaxies in the Lyman-alpha (Lyα) line,
using the Advanced Camera for Surveys onboard the Hubble
Space Telescope.
The following six well-known galaxies are included
in the sample:
You can read a little about the history of the project
here.
The science products include continuum subtracted Lyα and Hα
images. Further data products may be available on request.
