Characterizing the Average Interstellar Medium Conditions of Galaxies at z ∼ 5.6–9 with Ultraviolet and Optical Nebular Lines

Ultraviolet (UV; rest-frame ∼1200–2000 Å) spectra provide a wealth of diagnostics to characterize fundamental galaxy properties, such as their chemical enrichment, the nature of their stellar populations, and their amount of Lyman-continuum (LyC) radiation. In this work, we leverage publicly release...
