Lyα Profile Shape as an Escape-fraction Diagnostic at High Redshift

While the shape of the Ly α profile is viewed as one of the best tracers of ionizing-photon escape fraction ( f _esc ) within low-redshift ( z ∼ 0.3) surveys of the Lyman continuum, this connection remains untested at high redshift. Here, we combine deep, rest-UV Keck/LRIS spectra of 80 objects from...
