Theoretical residual flux for the Lyman series (Lyβ to Ly6) of a galaxy with a clumpy dust geometry.

H I lines EB-V
0.0 0.1 0.2 0.3
Lyβ 0.100 0.245 0.489 0.737
Lyγ 0.100 0.254 0.512 0.764
Lyδ 0.100 0.259 0.523 0.775
Ly5 0.100 0.261 0.530 0.782
Ly6 0.100 0.262 0.533 0.785

Notes. Theoretical measurements of the residual flux of a saturated absorption line for five Lyman series lines. These values are calculated assuming fesc = 0.10, a clumpy dust geometry, saturated Lyman lines, and the Reddy et al. (2016a) dust attenuation law. The differences found between various Lyman lines for a given EB-V are small and accurate residual flux measurements are required to distinguish the geometries.
