Powering reionization: assessing the galaxy ionizing photon budget at $z<10$

Kenneth Duncan, Christopher J Conselice

We present a new analysis of the ionizing emissivity (${\dot{N}}_{\mathrm{ion}}$, s${}^{-1}$ Mpc${}^{-3}$) for galaxies during the epoch of reionization and their potential for completing an…
