The VIMOS Ultra Deep Survey: The role of HI kinematics and HI column density on the escape of Ly α photons in star-forming galaxies at 2 < z < 4

Aims. We wish to assess the role of kinematics and neutral hydrogen column density in the escape and distribution of Ly alpha photons. Methods. We selected a sample of 76 Ly alpha emitting galaxies from the VIMOS Ultra Deep Survey (VUDS) at 2
