Integrated Lyα transmission as a function of the distance between a galaxy and the first neutral IGM patch the galaxy light encounters at z = 8. Solid lines in orange, maroon, and black curves show 𝒯(d_IGM) for all the galaxies at $\overline{x}=0.5$, 0.7, 0.9, respectively. The shaded region shows the 16−84 percentile range of the $\overline{x}=0.7$ curve, for d_IGM>10, the 16−84 percentile range is Δ𝒯 < 0.1. Maroon dashed and dotted lines show 𝒯(d_IGM) at $\overline{x}=0.7$, made using galaxies with emitted Lyα velocity offsets Δv_Lyα>200 km/s and Δv_Lyα<200 km/s respectively. None of these curves differ significantly, meaning 𝒯(d_IGM) does not depend strongly on $\overline{x}$ or Δv_Lyα, especially for d_IGM>10 cMpc. The curves are for z = 8 only, but the qualitative trends hold at other z.
