Connecting the escape fraction of Lyman-alpha and Lyman-continuum photons in star-forming galaxies at \mathbf{z\simeq 4-5}

We present a study of the connection between the escape fraction of Lyman-alpha (Ly\alpha) and Lyman-continuum (LyC) photons within a sample of N=152 star-forming galaxies selected from the VANDELS survey at 3.85<z_{spec}<4.95. By combining measurements of H\alpha equivalent width (W_\lambda(\rm{H\alpha})) derived from broad-band photometry with Ly\alpha equivalent width (W_\lambda(Ly\alpha)) measurements... Show more
