  - "Compact, star-forming galaxies with high star formation rate surface densities
    (ΣSFR) are often efficient Lyman continuum (LyC) emitters at z ≤ 4.5, likely because
    intense stellar feedback creates low-density channels that allow photons to escape.
    Irregular or disturbed morphologies, such as those resulting from mergers, can
    also facilitate LyC escape by creating anisotropic gas distributions. We investigated
    the influence of galaxy morphology on LyC production and escape at redshifts 5
    ≤ z ≤ 7 using observations from various James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) surveys.
    Our sample consists of 436 sources, which are predominantly low-mass (∼10^8.15
    M\f), star-forming galaxies with ionizing photon efficiency (ξion) values consistent
    with canonical expectations. Since direct measurements of fesc are not possible
    during the Epoch of  Reionization (EoR), we predicted fesc for high-redshift galaxies
    by applying survival analysis to a subsample of LyC emitters from the Low-Redshift
    Lyman Continuum Survey (LzLCS), selected to be direct analogs of reionization-era
    galaxies. We find that these galaxies exhibit, on average, modest predicted escape
    fractions (∼0.04). In addition, we evaluated the correlation between morphological
    features and LyC emission. Our findings indicate that neither ξion nor the predicted
    fesc values show a significant correlation with the presence of merger signatures.
    This suggests that in low-mass galaxies at z ≥ 5, strong morphological disturbances
    are not the primary mechanism driving LyC emission and leakage. Instead, compactness
    and star formation activity likely play a more pivotal role in regulating LyC
    escape. @eng"
