It is found that the amount of Lyα radiation escaping from the galaxies strongly depends on the time over which the dust is produced through stellar activity and on the ambient inhomogeneity of the H II regions that surround the ionizing OB stars. Good agreement is found with recent observations, as well as with previous nondetections. Although a detailed determination of the individual model parameters is precluded by uncertainties, we find that (1) the dust content in primordial galaxies builds up in no more than ~5 × 108 yr, (2) the galactic H II regions are inhomogeneous with a cloud-covering factor of order unity, and (3) the overall star formation efficiency is at least ~5%. It is predicted that future observations can detect these Lyα galaxies up to redshifts of ~8. If the universe is reionized at zr ≲ 8, the corresponding decline in the number of Lyα emitters at z ≳ zr could prove to be a useful probe of the reionization epoch.","lang":"eng"}],"citation":{"apa":"Haiman, Z., &#38; Spaans, M.
