Title:
How the environment impacts the properties of galaxies in the early Universe

Abstract:
The Epoch of Reionisation marks the phase transition from a dark universe with neutral hydrogen to an ionised universe through which UV photons can pass. Young star-forming galaxies are considered to be the key sources responsible for the reionisation of the Universe, but the details are unclear. It is particularly unclear how to separate the properties of the individual ionising sources from their large-scale environment.
I will present results using JWST/NIRCam wide field slitless spectroscopy and imaging observations in several fields centred on bright quasars at 6
