The Lyman-continuum photon production efficiency in the high-redshift Universe

The Lyman-continuum photon production efficiency in the high-redshift Universe

Abstract The Lyman-continuum photon production efficiency (ξion) is a critical ingredient for inferring the number of photons available to reionize the intergalactic medium. To estimate the theoretical production efficiency in the high-redshift Universe we couple the BlueTides cosmological hydrodynamical simulation with a range of stellar population synthesis models. We find …
