X-ray stacking of Lyman break galaxies in the 4 Ms CDF-S: X-ray luminosities and star formation rates across cosmic time

Context. Lyman break galaxies (LBGs) are widely thought to be prototypical young galaxies in the early universe, particularly representative of those undergoing massive events of star formation. Therefore, LBGs should produce significant amounts of X-ray emission. Aims. We aim to trace the X-ray lum...
