Summary • Ly scattering responsible for extended halo • Ly line profile may reveal gas kinematics • Line is broadened ~1000 km s-1 • Anisotropic escape of radiation may explain differences in observed properties, and may even link different types of galaxies • This effect is strengthened by dust • Escape fraction may vary from 10% to 40% (but don’t put your money on this yet)
