The gradual decline of Ly$\alpha$ visibility in the CANDELS fields: evidence for the combined effects of galaxy evolution and reionization

L. Napolitano, L. Pentericci, A. Ferrara +35

We investigate the evolution of Ly$\alpha$ visibility and the physical properties of Ly$\alpha$ emitters (LAEs) across the five CANDELS fields using publicly available JWST/NIRSpec PRISM spe…
