Characterizing the epoch of reionization with the small-scale CMB: Constraints on the optical depth and duration [PDF]
, 2018 Patchy reionization leaves a number of imprints on the small-scale cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature fluctuations, the largest of which is the kinematic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (kSZ), the Doppler shift of CMB photons scattering off moving ...

Cosmic Reionization in the JWST Era: Back to AGNs? [PDF]
The Astrophysical JournalDeep surveys with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have revealed an emergent population of moderate-luminosity, broad-line active galactic nuclei (AGNs) at 4 ≲ z ≲ 13 powered by accretion onto early massive black holes.

Secondary CMB anisotropies in a universe reionized in patches [PDF]
, 1998 In a universe reionized in patches, the Doppler effect from Thomson scattering off free electrons generates secondary cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies.

The Epoch of Reionization in Warm Dark Matter Scenarios
Universe, 2021 In this paper we investigate how the Reionization process is affected by early galaxy formation in different cosmological scenarios. We use a semi-analytic model with suppressed initial power spectra to obtain the UV Luminosity Function in thermal Warm ...

The Impact of Patchy Reionization on Ultrafaint Dwarf Galaxies
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We investigate how patchy reionization affects the star formation history (SFH) and stellar metallicity of ultrafaint dwarf galaxies (UFDs). Patchy reionization refers to varying ultraviolet background strengths depending on a galaxy’s environment ...

Bridging the Gap between Cosmic Dawn and Reionization Favors Models Dominated by Faint Galaxies
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 It has been claimed that traditional models struggle to explain the tentative detection of the 21 cm absorption trough centered at z ∼ 17 measured by the EDGES collaboration. On the other hand, it has been shown that the EDGES results are consistent with

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We use large simulations of Ly α emitters with different fractions of ionized intergalactic medium to quantify the clustering of Ly α emitters as measured by the void probability function (VPF), and how it evolves under different ionization scenarios. We

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Baryons both increase halo concentration through adiabatic contraction and expel mass through feedback processes. However, it is not well understood how the radiation fields prevalent during the epoch of reionization affect the evolution of concentration

Simulating the Cosmic Dawn With Enzo
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2018 We review two decades of progress using the Enzo hydrodynamic cosmology code to simulate the Cosmic Dawn, a period of roughly 1 billion years beginning with the formation of the first stars in the universe, and ending with cosmic reionization.

Crossing the Rubicon of Reionization with z ∼ 5 QSOs
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 One of the key open questions in cosmology is the nature of sources that completed cosmological hydrogen reionization at z ∼ 5.2. High- z primeval galaxies have been long considered the main drivers of reionization, with a minor role played by high- z ...
