On the Physical Nature of Lyα Transmission Spikes in High-redshift Quasar Spectra

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We investigate Lyman-alpha (Ly α ) transmission spikes at 5.2 < z < 6.8 using synthetic quasar spectra from the “Cosmic Reionization on Computers” simulations.

The Dispersion Measure and Scattering of Fast Radio Bursts: Contributions from Multicomponents, and Clues for the Intrinsic Properties

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are luminous, millisecond-duration transients that offer great potential for probing the Universe, yet their physical origins remain unclear.

Improving Photometric Redshifts of Epoch of Reionization Galaxies: A New Empirical Transmission Curve with Neutral Hydrogen Damping Wing Lyα Absorption

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
We present a new analytical model for the attenuation to Epoch of Reionization (EoR) galaxies by proximate neutral hydrogen gas. Many galaxy spectra in the EoR taken by JWST have shown a flux deficit at wavelengths just redward of the Lyman break, and ...

The Signatures of Density Fluctuations and Mixing Gas in Circumgalactic Absorption Systems

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We investigate the prospects for detecting and constraining density and temperature inhomogeneities in the circumgalactic medium using absorption measurements of metal ions.

Measurements of Cosmic Magnetism with LOFAR and SKA [PDF]

open access: yesAdvances in Radio Science, 2007
The origin of magnetic fields in stars, galaxies and clusters is an open problem in astrophysics. The next-generation radio telescopes <i>Low Frequency Array (LOFAR)</i> and <i>Square Kilometre Array (SKA)</i> will revolutionize ...

Cosmic Reionization on Computers: Statistics, Physical Properties, and Environments of Lyman Limit Systems at z ∼ 6

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Lyman limit systems (LLSs) are dense hydrogen clouds with high enough H i column densities to absorb Lyman continuum photons emitted from distant quasars.

Probing the He ii Reionization ERA via Absorbing C iv Historical Yield (HIERACHY). III. The C iv Absorber Catalog and Initial Results on Cosmic Abundance Evolution at z ≈ 3–5

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
As part of the HIERACHY program, we collect the high signal-to-noise ratio and high-spectral resolution optical spectra of 25 quasars at z  ≈ 4–5 to constrain the C iv evolution at z  ≈ 3–5.
