  - "Context. The escape of Lyman-α photons at redshifts greater than two is an ongoing
    subject of study and an important quantity to further understanding of Lyman-α
    emitters (LAEs), the transmission of Lyman-α photons through the interstellar
    medium and intergalactic medium, and the impact these LAEs have on cosmic reionisation.\r\n\r\nAims.
    This study aims to assess the Lyman-α escape fraction, fesc, Lyα, over the redshift
    range 2.9 < z < 6.7, focusing on Very Large Telescope/Multi Unit Spectroscopic
    Explorer (VLT/MUSE) selected, gravitationally lensed, intrinsically faint LAEs.
    These galaxies are of particular interest as the potential drivers of cosmic reionisation.\r\n\r\nMethods.
    We assessed fesc, Lyα in two ways: through an individual study of 96 LAEs behind
    the A2744 lensing cluster, with James Webb Space Telescope/Near-Infrared Camera
    (JWST/NIRCam) and HST data, and through a study of the global evolution of fesc, Lyα
    using the state-of-the-art luminosity functions for LAEs and the UV-selected ‘parent’
    population (dust-corrected). We compared these studies to those in the literature
    based on brighter samples.\r\n\r\nResults. We find a negligible redshift evolution
    of fesc, Lyα for our individual galaxies; it is likely that it was washed out
    by significant intrinsic scatter. We observed a more significant evolution towards
    higher escape fractions with decreasing UV magnitude and fit this relation. When
    comparing the two luminosity functions to derive fesc, Lyα in a global sense,
    we saw agreement with previous literature when integrating the luminosity functions
    to a bright limit. However, when integrating using a faint limit equivalent to
    the observational limits of our samples, we observed enhanced values of fesc, Lyα,
    particularly around z ∼ 6, where fesc, Lyα becomes consistent with 100% escape.
    This indicates for the faint regimes we sampled that galaxies towards reionisation
    tend to allow very large fractions of Lyman-α photons to escape. We interpret
    this as evidence of a lack of any significant dust in these populations; our sample
    is likely dominated by young, highly star-forming chemically unevolved galaxies.
    Finally, we assessed the contribution of the LAE population to reionisation using
    our latest values for fesc, Lyα and the LAE luminosity density. The dependence
    on the escape fraction of Lyman continuum photons is strong, but for values similar
    to those observed recently in z ∼ 3 LAEs and high-redshift analogues, LAEs could
    provide all the ionising emissivity necessary for reionisation.@eng"
