[O iii] line and Lyα lines with their corresponding best-fit Gaussians. Velocity offset between [O iii] and Lyα line for LAE40844 is 342 km s ⁻¹. Velocity offset between [O iii] and Lyα line for LAE27878 is 125 km s ⁻¹. Optical spectra have been calibrated using the Lyα line flux determined from narrowband imaging. The feature near +1400 km s ^-1 in LAE27878 is a residual night sky line at ~20728.17/20729.859 Å (Rousselot et al. 2000).
