"narrowband technique"

edit

I've removed this sentence from the article because it does not contribute anything to the understanding of what a LAB is. If someone can explain what the "narrowband technique" is, that would be benficial, but as it stood, the sentence was out of place. Privong 14:42, 22 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Difference?

What is the difference between a Lyman-alpha emitter and a Lyman-alpha blob? Hobbema (talk) 15:10, 25 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

Lyman-alpha emitters are a general class of objects, which can also include galaxies, AGN, and others.

If that emitter is a nebula, then it is a Lyman-alpha blob. SkyFlubbler (talk) 19:52, 4 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
