These models reproduce the surface density of emitters inferred from recent observations, and also agree with previous non–detections. Although a detailed determination of the individual model parameters is precluded by uncertainties, we find that (i) the dust content of primordial galaxies builds up in no more than ∼ 5 × 10^8 yr, (ii) the galactic HII regions are nhomogeneous with a cloud covering factor of order unity, and (iii) the overall star formation efficiency is at least ∼ 5%. Future observations should be able to detect Lyα galaxies upto redshifts of z ∼ 8. If\r\nthe universe is reionized at zr ∼< 8, the corresponding decline in the number of Lyα\r\nemitters at z ∼> zr could prove to be a useful probe of the reionization epoch.\r\n","lang":"eng"}],"date_created":"2025-01-03T12:37:12Z","day":"27","OA_type":"green","citation":{"mla":"Haiman, Zoltán, and M.
