- W3025728346 abstract "Context. Identifying the physical mechanisms driving the escape of Lyman continuum (LyC) photons is crucial for the search of Lyman continuum emitter (LCE) candidates. Aims. To understand the physical properties involved in the leakage of LyC photons, we investigate the connection between the H I covering fraction, H I velocity width, the Lyman α (Ly α ) properties, and the escape of LyC photons in a sample of 22 star-forming galaxies, which includes 13 confirmed LCEs. Methods. We fit the stellar continuum, dust attenuation, and absorption lines between 920 Å and 1300 Å to extract the H I covering fractions and dust attenuation. Additionally, we measure the H I velocity widths of the optically thick Lyman series and derive the Ly α equivalent widths (EW), escape fractions ( f esc ), peak velocities, and fluxes at the minimum of the observed Ly α profiles. Results. Overall, we highlight strong observational correlations between the presence of low H I covering fractions and the observation of (1) low Ly α peak velocities; (2) more flux at the profile minimum; and (3) larger EW(Ly α ), f esc (Ly α ), and f esc obs (LyC). Hence, low column density channels are crucial ISM ingredients for the leakage of Ly α and LyC photons. Additionally, galaxies with narrower H I absorption velocity widths have higher Ly α equivalent widths, larger Ly α escape fractions, and lower Ly α peak velocity separations. This may suggest that these galaxies have low H I column density. Finally, we find that dust also regulates the amount of Ly α and LyC radiation that actually escapes the ISM. Conclusions. The ISM porosity is one of the origins of strong Ly α emission, enabling the escape of ionizing photons in low- z leakers. However, this is not sufficient to explain the largest f esc obs (LyC), which indicates that the most extreme LCEs are likely to be density-bounded along all lines of sight to the observer. Overall, the neutral gas porosity provides a constraint for a lower limit to the escape fraction of LyC and Ly α photons, which offers a key estimator for assessing the leakage of ionizing photons." @default.
