Intergalactic Lyman-$\alpha$ haloes before reionization are detectable with JWST

The $JamesWebbSpaceTelescope(JWST)$ recently reported a large population of UV luminous galaxies at high redshifts, $z>10$, as well as Lyman-$\alpha$ emitting (LAE) galaxies out to $z\sim 11$. We use the observed UV luminosities along with a data-driven approach at lower redshifts to place constraints on the observability of the intergalactic Lyman-$\alpha$ intensity, scattered in the form of Loeb-Rybicki haloes, during the pre-reionization and reionization epochs ($z\sim 9-16$). We forecast the sensitivity and resolution required to detect these intergalactic haloes, finding that individual haloes with LAE luminosities $>{10}^{43}$ ergs/s are detectable at a few sigma level at $z\lesssim 9$, while stacking of $\sim 10$ haloes is expected to result in detections out to $z\sim 16$. Finding these haloes is expected to shed light on the neutral intergalactic hydrogen during cosmic reionization.
