Abstract
Identifying low-redshift galaxies that emit Lyman Continuum radiation (LyC
leakers) is one of the primary, indirect methods of studying galaxy formation
in the epoch of reionization. However, not only has it proved challenging to
identify such systems, it also remains uncertain whether the low-redshift LyC
leakers are truly "analogues" of the sources that reionized the Universe. Here,
we use high-resolution cosmological radiation hydrodynamics simulations to
examine whether simulated galaxies in the epoch of reionization share similar
emission line properties to observed LyC leakers at
