Title: The MUSE-Wide survey: Detection of a clustering signal from Lyman-α-emitters at 3<z<6,
Abstract: We present a clustering analysis of a sample of 238 Ly{$\alpha$}-emitters at
redshift 3<z<6 from the MUSE-Wide survey. This survey mosaics extragalactic
legacy fields with 1h MUSE pointings to detect statistically relevant samples
of emission line galaxies. We analysed the first year observations from
MUSE-Wide making use of the clustering signal in the line-of-sight direction.
This method relies on comparing pair-counts at close redshifts for a fixed
transverse distance and thus exploits the full potential of the redshift range
covered by our sample. A clear clustering signal with a correlation length of
r0 = 2.9(+1.0/-1.1) Mpc (comoving) is detected. Whilst this result is based on
only about a quarter of the full survey size, it already shows the immense
potential of MUSE for efficiently observing and studying the clustering of
Ly{$\alpha$}-emitters.
