Evidence for a Low Lyman Continuum Escape Fraction in Three Massive, Ultraviolet-bright Galaxies at z > 7

Although low-mass star-forming galaxies are the leading candidates of the reionization process, we cannot conclusively rule out high-mass star-forming galaxies as candidates. While most simulations indicate the former is the best candidate, some models suggest that at z ≥ 6 massive, UV-bright galaxi...
