摘要：

We analyze rest-frame ultraviolet to optical spectra of three z similar or equal to 7.47-7.75 galaxies whose Ly alpha emission lines were previously detected with Keck/MOSFIRE observations, using the JWST/NIRSpec observations from the Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science survey. From NIRSpec data, we confirm the systemic redshifts of these Ly alpha emitters, and emission-line ratio diagnostics indicate these galaxies were highly ionized and metal-poor. We investigate Ly alpha line properties, including the line flux, velocity offset, and spatial extent. For the one galaxy where we have both NIRSpec and MOSFIRE measurements, we find a significant offset in their flux measurements (similar to 1.3-5x greater in MOSFIRE) and a marginal difference in the velocity shifts. The simplest interpretation is that the Ly alpha emission is extended and not entirely encompassed by the NIRSpec slit. The cross-dispersion profiles in NIRSpec reveal that Ly alpha in one galaxy is significantly more extended than the nonresonant emission lines. We also compute the expected sizes of ionized bubbles that can be generated by the Ly alpha sources and discuss viable scenarios for the creation of sizable ionized bubbles (>1 physical Mpc). The source with the highest-ionization condition is possibly capable of ionizing its own bubble, while the other two do not appear to be capable of ionizing such a large region, but require additional sources of ionizing photons. Therefore, the fact that we detect Ly alpha from these galaxies suggests diverse scenarios for the escape of Ly alpha during the epoch of reionization. High-spectral-resolution spectra with JWST/NIRSpec will be extremely useful for constraining the physics of patchy reionization.
