  bibo_abstract:
  - While low-luminosity galaxies dominate number counts at all redshifts, their contribution
    to cosmic reionization is poorly understood due to a lack of knowledge of their
    physical properties. We isolate a sample of 35 z ≈ 4–5 continuum-faint Lyman-α
    emitters from deep VLT/MUSE spectroscopy and directly measure their H α emission
    using stacked Spitzer/IRAC Ch. 1 photometry. Based on Hubble Space Telescope imaging,
    we determine that the average UV continuum magnitude is fainter than −16 (≈ 0.01
    L⋆), implying a median Lyman-α equivalent width of 259 Å. By combining the H α
    measurement with the UV magnitude, we determine the ionizing photon production
    efficiency, ξion, a first for such faint galaxies. The measurement of log10 (ξion
    [Hz erg−1]) = 26.28 (⁠+0.28−0.40⁠) is in excess of literature measurements of
    both continuum- and emission line-selected samples, implying a more efficient
    production of ionizing photons in these lower luminosity, Lyman-α-selected systems.
    We conclude that this elevated efficiency can be explained by stellar populations
    with metallicities between 4 × 10−4 and 0.008, with light-weighted ages less than
    3 Myr.@eng
