Nebular dominated galaxies: insights into the stellar initial mass function at high redshift

We identify a low-metallicity (12 + log(O/H) = 7.59) Ly𝛼-emitting galaxy at 𝑧 = 5.943 with evidence of a strong Balmer jump, arising from nebular continuum. While Balmer jumps are sometimes observed in low-redshift star-forming galaxies, this galaxy also exhibits a steep turnover in the UV continuum...
