Key Points

This research aims to explore the intergalactic medium's (IGM) transmission and identify ionized structures during cosmic reionization.
Utilized JWST/NIRSpec prism spectroscopy to analyze IGM transmission.
Studied 143 galaxies within the redshift range of 4.5 to 6.5.
Employed high-signal-to-noise observations for accurate spectrum analysis.
Found significant variability in IGM transmission across the examined redshift range.
Identified new ionized structures in the intergalactic medium.
Results suggest enhanced understanding of cosmic reionization processes.

Implication

Investigates IGM transmission and identifies ionized structures in galaxies, suggesting insights into cosmic reionization.

Abstract

We present a study of intergalactic medium (IGM) transmission at 4.5 < z < 6.5 using high-signal-to-noise JWST/NIRSpec prism spectroscopy of 143 galaxies at 5
