Unveiling Luminous Lyα Emitters at z ≈ 6 through JWST/NIRCam Imaging in the COSMOS Field

We study a sample of 14 spectroscopically confirmed Ly α emitters (LAEs) in the late era of reionization (at redshift z ≈ 6) based on the JWST/NIRCam imaging data set. These LAEs with high Ly α luminosity of L (Ly α ) ∼10 ^42.4 –10 ^43.4 erg s ^−1 have been covered by the (ongoing) COSMOS-Web survey...
