Core-collapse supernovae (SNe) are believed to be the first significant source of dust in the Universe. Such SNe are expected to be the main dust producers in young high-redshift Lyman α emitters (LAEs) given their young ages, providing an excellent testbed of SN dust formation models during the ear...
