Dependence of the Lyα escape fraction on EW(Lyα) (top left), MUV (top right), [O III]/[O II] ratio (O32) (bottom left) and EW(Hβ) (bottom right). The correlations follow the same convention as in Fig. 6. Unsurprisingly, we find that fesc(Lyα) correlates strongly with EW(Lyα). We also note that UV-faint galaxies show higher fesc(Lyα), although this could be attributed purely to the flux limited nature of our spectroscopic survey. We do not find strong correlations between fesc(Lyα) and O32 or Hβ strength, although as previously noted we do find that our faint LAEs on average show high O32 ratios and Hβ line strengths.
