  bibo_abstract:
  - "We used observations from the JWST Emission Line Survey (JELS) to measure the
    half-light radii (re) of 23 Hα-emitting starforming (SF) galaxies at z = 6.1 in
    the PRIMER/COSMOS field. Galaxy sizes were measured in JWST near-infrared camera
    observations in rest-frame Hα (tracing recent star formation) with the F466N and
    F470N narrow-band filters from JELS, and\r\ncompared against rest-R- and V -band
    (tracing established stellar populations) and near-ultraviolet sizes. We find
    a size–stellar mass(re − M∗) relationship with a slope that is consistent with
    literature values at lower redshifts, though offset to lowersizes. We observe
    a large scatter in re at low stellar mass (M∗ < 10^8.4 Mo) which we believe is
    the result of bursty star formation histories (SFHs) of SF galaxies at the Epoch
    of Reionization (EoR). We find that the stellar and ionized gas components are
    similar in size at z = 6.1. The evidence of already-established stellar components
    in these Hα emitters (HAEs) indicates previous episodes of star formation have
    occurred. As such, following other JELS studies finding our HAEs are undergoing
    a current burst of star formation, we believe our results indicate that SF galaxies
    at the end of the EoR have already experienced a bursty SFH. From our re − M∗
    relationship, we find re,F444W = 0.76 ± 0.46 kpc for fixed stellar mass M∗ = 10^9.25
    M, which is in agreement with other observations and simulations of SF galaxies
    in the literature. We find a close-pair (major) merger fraction of (fmaj. merger
    =0.44 ± 0.22) fmerger = 0.43 ± 0.11 for galaxy separations d <~ 25 kpc, which
    is in agreement with other z ≈ 6 studies.@eng"
