The photoionization rate of the IGM measured by Lyman forest fitting (Bolton & Haehnelt 2007; Wyithe & Bolton 2011; Becker & Bolton 2013; Davies et al. 2018; Faucher-Giguère 2020; Gallego et al. 2021; Gaikwad et al. 2023) and with the proximity effect (Calverley et al. 2011). The ionizing background produced by bright QSOs and faint AGN at z ∼ 5 is shown by the blue square, assuming a LyC escape fraction of 70%.
