Bursts of Star Formation and Radiation-driven Outflows Produce Efficient LyC Leakage from Dense Compact Star Clusters

Bursts of Star Formation and Radiation-driven Outflows Produce Efficient LyC Leakage from Dense Compact Star Clusters

The escape of LyC photons emitted by massive stars from the dense interstellar medium (ISM) of galaxies is a key bottleneck for cosmological reionization. The escape fraction varies significantly across and within galaxies, motivating further study of the underlying physical factors responsible for...
