Dependence of the ionizing photon production efficiency (ξ_ion) from LAEs at z ≳ 6 on redshift (left) and EW(Lyα) (right). The dashed line indicates the average ξ_ion value (log(ξ_ion/erg⁻¹ Hz) = 25.57) measured across the new LAEs reported in this study. The shaded region marks the canonical value of log(ξ_ion/erg⁻¹ Hz) = 25.2–25.3 from Kuhlen & Faucher-Giguère (2012), Robertson et al. (2013, 2015). Overall, we do not find a significant evolution in the ξ_ion of LAEs across redshifts particularly at z > 6, indicating that the ionizing properties do not seem to evolve strongly between z = 6 − 8.5. There is also no strong correlation between ξ_ion and the strength of Lyα emission across LAEs at z > 6, which one would naively expect from simple Case B recombination in the absence of significant absorption/scattering of Lyα photons. This lack of correlation indicates that the processes that control the escape of Lyα photons may not necessarily be dependent on the processes that produce ionizing photons.
