Parameters used in calculations of the ionised bubble around COLA1 at z = 6.591 (Sect. 5.2.1).

Property Value Motivation
fesc, LyC 15% (Conservative) Lyα peak separation and blue-to-red flux ratio in local LyC leakers
fesc, Lyα % Lyα EW calibration, tested at z = 0 − 2.6 (Sobral & Matthee 2018)
Qion, Lyα Lyα luminosity, fesc, LyC and fesc, Lyα (Sobral & Matthee 2018)
Qion, UV UV luminosity (no dust correction) and ξion = 1025.4 Hz erg−1
tburst 107 yr High Lyα EW (Charlot & Fall 1993)

Rs, required > 0.3 pMpc Velocity offset ≳250 km s−1 due to expansion of the Universe
Rs, max, Lyα pMpc Eq. (2), assuming no recombinations and ionisation by the Lyα source of COLA1
Rs, max, UV pMpc Eq. (2), assuming no recombinations and ionisation by the UV source of COLA1
