We study the stellar population properties of 182 spectroscopically confirmed (MUSE/VLT) Ly α emitters (LAEs) and 450 photometrically selected Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs) at z = 2.8–6.7 in the Hubble Extreme Deep Field. Leveraging the combined power of Hubble Space Telescope and JWST NIRCam and MIRI observations, we analyze their rest-frame UV-through-near-IR spectral energy distributions, with MIRI playing a crucial role in robustly assessing the LAEs’ stellar masses and ages. Our LAEs are low-mass objects $({{\rm{log}}}_{10}({M}_{\star }/{M}_{\odot })\simeq 7.5)$ with little or no dust extinction ( E ( B − V ) ≃ 0.1) and a blue UV continuum slope ( β ≃ −2.2). While 75% of our LAEs are young ( |
