A SPectroscopic Survey of Biased Halos in the Reionization Era (ASPIRE): A First Look at the Rest-frame Optical Spectra of z > 6.5 Quasars Using JWST

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
Studies of rest-frame optical emission in quasars at z > 6 have historically been limited by the wavelengths accessible by ground-based telescopes. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) now offers the opportunity to probe this emission deep into the ...

Constraining reionization using 21 cm observations in combination with CMB and Lyman-alpha forest data

open access: yes, 2009
In this paper, we explore the constraints on the reionization history that are provided by current observations of the Lyman-alpha forest and the CMB.

Cosmic reionization constraints on the nature of cosmological perturbations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
We study the reionization history of the Universe in cosmological models with non-Gaussian density fluctuations, taking them to have a renormalized $\chi^2$ probability distribution function parametrized by the number of degrees of freedom, $\nu$.

The reionization of galactic satellite populations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We use high resolution simulations of the formation of the local group post-processed by a radiative transfer code for UV photons, to investigate the reionization of the satellite populations of an isolated Milky Way-M31 galaxy pair in a variety of scenarios. We use an improved version of ATON which includes a simple recipe for radiative feedback.

Hydrogen reionization in the Illustris universe [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2015
Hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy formation such as the Illustris simulations have progressed to a state where they approximately reproduce the observed stellar mass function from high to low redshift. This in principle allows self-consistent models of reionization that exploit the accurate representation of the diffuse gas distribution together ...

Cosmic Reionization on Computers: The Evolution of the Ionizing Background and Mean Free Path

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Observations of the end stages of reionization indicate that at z  ≈ 5–6, the ionizing background is not uniform and the mean free path (MFP) changes drastically.

Early Results from GLASS-JWST. XXIII. The Transmission of Lyα from UV-faint z ∼ 3–6 Galaxies

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Ly α emission from galaxies can be used to trace neutral hydrogen in the epoch of reionization, however, there is a degeneracy between the attenuation of Ly α in the intergalactic medium (IGM) and the line profile emitted by the galaxy.

The Thermal Memory of Reionization History [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
The recent measurement by WMAP of a large electron scattering optical depth tau_e = 0.17 +- 0.04 is consistent with a simple model of reionization in which the intergalactic medium (IGM) is ionized at redshift z ~ 15, and remains highly ionized ...

Reionization Parameter Inference from 3D Minkowski Functionals of the 21 cm Signals

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The Minkowski functionals (MFs), a set of topological summary statistics, have emerged as a powerful tool for extracting non-Gaussian information.

The First Galaxies and the Likely Discovery of Their Fossils in the Local Group

open access: yesAdvances in Astronomy, 2010
The lower bound for the mass of a galaxy is unknown, as are the typical luminosity of the smallest galaxies and their numbers. The answers depend on the extent to which star formation in the first population of small mass halos may be suppressed by ...
