Quantifying the Escape of Ly α at z ≈ 5–6: A Census of Ly α Escape Fraction with H α -emitting Galaxies Spectroscopically Confirmed by JWST and VLT/MUSE

Abstract:

The James Webb Space Telescope provides an unprecedented opportunity for unbiased surveys of Hα-emitting galaxies at z > 4 with the NIRCam's wide-field slitless spectroscopy (WFSS). In this work, we present a census of Lyα escape fraction (f esc,Lyα ) of 165 star-forming galaxies at z = 4.9–6.3, utilizing their Hα emission directly measured from FRESCO NIRCam/WFSS data. We search for Lyα emission of each Hα-emitting galaxy in the Very Large Telescope/MUSE data. The overall f esc,Lyα measured ...
