Lyman α (Lyα) is the intrinsically most powerful spectral probe of ongoing star formation, and the only one easily accessible at redshifts z > 2.5. For low mass galactic building blocks which have low luminosities from hot dust, Lyα is currently the only probe available. However, its large absorption cross section in neutral hydrogen leads to s…
