galaxies must therefore provide most of the energy. Lyman-alpha emitters (LAEs) have been proposed as a possible source of the energy required for the reionization of the IGM. LAEs are objects that emit Lyman-α (Lyα) radiation‚ which specifically results from the Hydrogen electron changing from the n = 2 to the n = 1 state. As a result of this transition‚ a photon of wavelength 1216Å (UV radiation) is emitted. LAEs have been found to also emit Lyman-continuum (Lyc) radiation‚ which corresponds to wavelengths
