The final catalog contains 361 candidate lensing systems. The lens galaxies are luminous red galaxies (LRGs) at redshift $0.4 < z < 0.8$, and the source galaxies are LAEs at redshift $2 < z < 3$. The spectral resolution of eBOSS ($\\sim$2000) allows us to further identify the fine structures of Lyman-$\\alpha$ ($\\rm Ly\\alpha$) emissions. Among our lensed LAE candidates, 281 systems present single-peaked line profiles while 80 systems show double-peaked features. Future spectroscopic/imaging follow-up observations of the catalog may shed light on the origin of diverse $\\rm Ly\\alpha$ line morphology, and provide promising labs for studying low mass dark matter haloes/subhaloes.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-08-04T06:36:22.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "spectroscopically selected sample", "low mass dark matter haloes/subhaloes", "extended baryon oscillation spectroscopic survey", "studying low mass dark matter" ], "tags": [ "github project" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 11, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
