Direct detection of ionizing photons from z~6 faint galaxies yields escape fraction ~0.8 and log ξ_ion^true = 25.86, implying higher IGM transparency and that young low-metallicity stars in such galaxies can reionize the universe.

JWST spectroscopy of 295 galaxies at 5.5 < z < 14.3 shows UV slope beta reddening at z > 9.5, with lack of dust as the main driver of bluer values and nebular continuum at T > 15,000 K able to reproduce the observed range without dust.
JADES DR5 delivers 2081 z_phot > 8 galaxy candidates with UV slope trends, morphological evidence of clumpy growth, and improved photo-z methods tested on a spectroscopic subsample.

The Great Escape of ionizing photons during Cosmic Morning
Direct detection of ionizing photons from z~6 faint galaxies yields escape fraction ~0.8 and log ξ_ion^true = 25.86, implying higher IGM transparency and that young low-metallicity stars in such galaxies can reionize the universe.
