  bibo_abstract:
  - We present the results from a MUSE survey of twelve z ≃ 3.15 quasars, which were
    selected to be much fainter (20 < iSDSS < 23) than in previous studies of giant
    Ly α nebulae around the brightest quasars (16.6 < iAB < 18.7). We detect H I Ly α
    nebulae around 100 per cent of our target quasars, with emission extending to
    scales of at least 60 physical kpc, and up to 190 pkpc. We explore correlations
    between properties of the nebulae and their host quasars, with the goal of connecting
    variations in the properties of the illuminating QSO to the response in nebular
    emission. We show that the surface brightness profiles of the nebulae are similar
    to those of nebulae around bright quasars, but with a lower normalization. Our
    targeted quasars are on average 3.7 mag (≃30 times) fainter in UV continuum than
    our bright reference sample, and yet the nebulae around them are only 4.3 times
    fainter in mean Ly α surface brightness, measured between 20 and 50 pkpc. We find
    significant correlations between the surface brightness of the nebula and the
    luminosity of the quasar in both UV continuum and Ly α. The latter can be interpreted
    as evidence for a substantial contribution from unresolved inner parts of the
    nebulae to the narrow components seen in the Ly α lines of some of our faint quasars,
    possibly from the inner circumgalactic medium or from the host galaxy’s interstellar
    medium.@eng
