We present a new analysis of the ionizing emissivity ($\dot{N}_{\rm {ion}}$, s−1 Mpc−3) for galaxies during the epoch of reionization and their potential for completing and maintaining reionization. We use extensive spectral energy distribution modelling – incorporating two plausible mechanisms for the escape of Lyman continuum photon – to explore the range and evolution of ionizing efficiencies c...
