NEW CONSTRAINTS ON THE ESCAPE OF IONIZING PHOTONS FROM STARBURST GALAXIES USING IONIZATION-PARAMETER MAPPING

The fate of ionizing radiation in starburst galaxies is key to understanding cosmic reionization. However, the galactic parameters on which the escape fraction of ionizing radiation depend are not well understood. Ionization-parameter mapping provides a simple, yet effective, way to study the radiat...
