CLEAR: Boosted Ly$\alpha$ Transmission of the Intergalactic Medium in UV bright Galaxies

Reionization is an inhomogeneous process, thought to begin in small ionized bubbles of the intergalactic medium (IGM) around overdense regions of galaxies. Recent Lyman-alpha (Ly$\alpha$) studies during the epoch of reionization show growing evidence that ionized bubbles formed earlier around brighter galaxies, suggesting higher IGM transmission of Ly$\alpha$ from these galaxies. We investigate this problem using IR slitless spectroscopy from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Wide-Field Camera 3 (WFC3) G102 grism observations of 148 galaxies selected via photometric redshifts at $6.0 6$. Furthermore, we compare the redshift evolution of $W_0$ between galaxies at different UV luminosities. The UV-bright ($M_{\text{UV}} L^{*}$) galaxies show weaker evolution with a decrease of 0.4 ($\pm$0.2) dex in $W_0$ at $z>6$ while UV-faint ($M_{\text{UV}}>-21$, or $L_{\text{UV}} 6$. Our results add to the accumulating evidence that UV-bright galaxies exhibit boosted Ly$\alpha$ transmission in the IGM, suggesting that reionization completes sooner in regions proximate to galaxies of higher UV luminosity.
