We present two uniformly observed spectroscopic samples of Ly-alpha emitters (LAEs) (127 at z = 5.7 and 82 at z = 6.6), which we use to investigate the evolution of the LAE population at these redshifts. The observations cover a large field…
We present semi-analytical models of high redshift Lyman-{\alpha} emitters (LAEs) in order to constrain the star formation efficiency in those galaxies. Our supernova feedback induced star formation model along with Sheth-Tormman halo mass…
We use the {\sc astraeus} framework to investigate how the visibility and spatial distribution of Lyman-$\alpha$ (Ly$\alpha$) emitters (LAEs) during reionisation is sensitive to a halo mass-dependent fraction of ionising radiation escaping…
We investigate the detectability of Lyman-$\alpha$ (Ly$\alpha$) emission from galaxies at the onset of cosmic reionization, aiming to understand the conditions necessary for detecting high-redshift sources like JADES-GS-z13-1-LA at $z=13$.…

We model the 21-cm signal and LAE population evolution during the epoch of reionization in order to predict the 21cm-LAE cross-power spectrum. We employ high-dynamic-range simulations of the IGM to create models that are consistent with…

We present new results from the widest narrow band survey search for Lyman-alpha (Lya) emitters at z=5.7, just after reionization. We survey a total of 7 deg$^2$ spread over the COSMOS, UDS and SA22 fields. We find over 11,000 line…
We present a sample of Ly{\alpha} emitters (LAEs) at $z\approx6.6$ from our spectroscopic survey of high-redshift galaxies using the multi-object spectrograph M2FS on the Magellan Clay telescope. The sample consists of 36 LAEs selected by…
Lyman alpha (Lya) emission lines should be attenuated in a neutral intergalactic medium (IGM). Therefore the visibility of Lya emitters at high redshifts can serve as a valuable probe of reionization at about the 50% level. We present an…
The epoch corresponding to a redshift of z $\sim 6.5$ is close to full re-ionisation of the Universe, and early enough to provide an intriguing environment to observe the early stage of large-scale structure formation. It is also en epoch…
Detections of extended Ly$\alpha$ halos (LAHs) around Ly$\alpha$ emitters (LAEs) have lately been reported on a regular basis, but their origin is still under investigation. Simulation studies predict that the outer regions of the extended…

The visibility of the Lyman-$\alpha$ (Ly$\alpha$) emission from reionization-epoch galaxies depends sensitively on the extent of the intrinsic \lya emission redwards of 1215.67~\AA. The prominent red peak resulting from resonant radiative…

The Ly$\alpha$ emission line is one of the most promising probes of cosmic reionisation but isolating the signature of a change in the ionisation state of the IGM is challenging because of intrinsic evolution and internal radiation transfer…
