SMILES: Potentially Higher Ionizing Photon Production Efficiency in Overdense Regions

SMILES: Potentially Higher Ionizing Photon Production Efficiency in Overdense Regions

The topology of reionization and the environments where galaxies efficiently produce ionizing photons are key open questions. For the first time, we investigate the trend between ionizing photon production efficiency, ξ _ion , and galaxy overdensity, $\mathrm{log}(1+\delta )$ . We analyze the ionizi...
