We present improved results of the measurement of the correlation between galaxies and the intergalactic medium (IGM) transmission at the end of reionisation. We have gathered a sample of $13$ spectroscopically confirmed Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs) and $21$ Lyman-$alpha$ emitters (LAEs) at angular separations $20 lesssim theta lesssim 10$ ($sim 0.1-4$ pMpc at $zsim 6$) from the sightlines to $8$ background $zgtrsim 6$ quasars. We report for the first time the detection of an excess of Lyman-$alpha$ transmission spikes at $sim 10-60$ cMpc from LAEs ($3.2sigma$) and LBGs ($1.9sigma$). We interpret the data with an improved model of the galaxy-Lyman-$alpha$ transmission and two-point cross-correlations which includes the enhanced photoionisation due to clustered faint sources, enhanced gas densities around the central bright objects and spatial variations of the mean free path. The observed LAE(LBG)-Lyman-$alpha$ transmission spike two-point cross-correlation function (2PCCF) constrains the luminosity-averaged escape fraction of all galaxies contributing to reionisation to $langle f_{rm esc} rangle_{M_{rm UV}<-12} = 0.14_{-0.05}^{+0.28},(0.23_{-0.12}^{+0.46})$. We investigate if the 2PCCF measurement can determine whether bright or faint galaxies are the dominant contributors to reionisation. Our results show that a contribution from faint galaxies ($M_{rm UV} > -20 , (2sigma)$) is necessary to reproduce the observed 2PCCF and that reionisation might be driven by different sub-populations around LBGs and LAEs at $zsim 6$.
We introduce a new method for determining the influence of galaxies and active galactic nuclei (AGN) on the physical state of the intergalactic medium (IGM) at high redshift and illustrate its potential via a first application to the field of the $z=
Aim. Our aim is to analyse the variance of the Inter-Galactic Medium transmission (IGM) by studying this parameter in the rest-frame UV spectra of a large sample of high redshift galaxies. Method. We make use of the VIMOS Ultra Deep Survey and the VA
We present a new method to study the contribution of faint sources to the UV background using the 1D correlation of metal absorbers with the intergalactic medium (IGM) transmission in a Quasi Stellar Object (QSO) sightline. We take advantage of a sam
We investigate quasar outflows at $z geq 6$ by performing zoom-in cosmological hydrodynamical simulations. By employing the SPH code GADGET-3, we zoom in the $2 R_{200}$ region around a $2 times 10^{12} M_{odot}$ halo at $z = 6$, inside a $(500 ~ {rm
We present a galaxy survey of the field surrounding PKS0405-123 performed with the WFCCD spectrometer at Las Campanas Observatory. The survey is comprised of two datasets: (1) a greater than 95% complete survey to R = 20 of the field centered on PKS0
