AbstractDuring the epoch of reionization, the first galaxies were enshrouded in pristine neutral gas, with one of the brightest emission lines in star-forming galaxies, Lyman α (Lyα), expected to remain undetected until the Universe became ionized. Providing an explanation for the surprising detection of Lyα in these early galaxies is a major challenge for extragalactic studies.
