Lyman Continuum Escape Fraction from Low-mass Starbursts at z = 1.3

We present a new constraint on the Lyman continuum (LyC) escape fraction at . We obtain deep, high sensitivity far-UV imaging with the Advanced Camera for Surveys Solar Blind Channel on the Hubble Space Telescope, targeting 11 star-forming galaxies at 1.2
