Lyman alpha galaxies are high red shift objects which exhibit a very complicated Lyman alpha line structure. We present a model and solve it to show that quite a simple physical model (and complicated radiative transfer equation) with photon diffusion in the frequency space can explain nicely the observed structure of the line.
