Nature and Nurture? Comparing Lyα Detections in UV-bright and Fainter [O iii]+Hβ Emitters at z ∼ 8 with Keck/MOSFIRE
The 100% detection rate of Ly α emission in a sample of four luminous z ∼ 8 galaxies with red Spitzer/IRAC colors suggests objects with unusual ionizing capabilities that created early ionized bubbles in a neutral era. Whether such bubbles reflect enhanced ionizing properties (nature) or an overdens...
