Analysis

This paper highlights the importance of understanding how ionizing radiation escapes from galaxies, a crucial aspect of the Epoch of Reionization. It emphasizes the limitations of current instruments and the need for future UV integral field spectrographs on the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) to resolve the multi-scale nature of this process. The paper argues for the necessity of high-resolution observations to study stellar feedback and the pathways of ionizing photons.
Reference

The core challenge lies in the multiscale nature of LyC escape: ionizing photons are generated on scales of 1--100 pc in super star clusters but must traverse the circumgalactic medium which can extend beyond 100 kpc.
