Closing in on the sources of cosmic reionization: First results from the GLASS-JWST program

S Mascia, L Pentericci, A Calabrò, T Treu… - Astronomy & …, 2023 - aanda.org
The escape fraction of Lyman-continuum (LyC) photons (f esc) is a key parameter for
determining the sources of cosmic reionization at z≥ 6. At these redshifts, owing to the …
