It is the first time to capture CL events in Lyα at high redshift, which is crucial for understanding the underlying mechanisms driving the CL phenomenon and the evolution of high-redshift quasars and galaxies. We find that the accretion rate in the dim state for these CL objects corresponds to a relatively low value (  2 10 M » ´ -3), which suggests that the inner region of the accretion disk might be in transition between the advection dominated accretion flow (  10 10 M < ~ - - 3 2) and the canonical accretion disk (optically thick, geometrically thin). However, unlike in C IV CL quasars in which broad Lyα remained, the broad C IV may still persist after a CL event occurs in Lyα, making the physical origin of the CL and ionization mechanism event more puzzling and interesting.We thank the referee for useful comments that significantly improved the manuscript. W.-J.G. thanks DESI internal review (Tamara Davis and David Alexander) for very helpful discussions and comments and thanks DESI PubBoard Handler (Benjamin Joachim) for providing timely help.

The DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys consist of three individual and complementary projects: the Dark Energy Camera Legacy Survey (DECaLS), the Beijing-Arizona Sky Survey (BASS), and the Mayall z-band Legacy Survey (MzLS). DECaLS, BASS, and MzLS together include data obtained, respectively, at the Blanco telescope, Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory, NSF’s NOIRLab; the Bok telescope, Steward Observatory, University of Arizona; and the Mayall telescope, Kitt Peak National Observatory, NOIRLab. NOIRLab is operated by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA) under a cooperative agreement with the National Science Foundation. Pipeline processing and analyses of the data were supported by NOIRLab and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Legacy Surveys also uses data products from the Near-Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (NEOWISE), a project of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory/California Institute of Technology, funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Legacy Surveys was supported by the Director, Office of Science, Office of High Energy Physics of the US Department of Energy; the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center, a DOE Office of Science User Facility; the US National Science Foundation, Division of Astronomical Sciences; and the National Astronomical Observatories of China, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the Chinese National Natural Science Foundation.
