On the contribution of dwarf galaxies to reionization of the Universe

open access: yesThe Open Journal of Astrophysics
We present estimates of the ultraviolet (UV) and Lyman continuum flux density contributed by galaxies of luminosities from $M_{\rm UV}\approx -25$ to $M_{\rm UV}=-4$ at redshifts $5\leq z\leq 10$ using a galaxy formation model that reproduces properties ...

The Web Epoch of Reionization Lyα Survey (WERLS). I. MOSFIRE Spectroscopy of z ∼ 7–8 Lyα Emitters

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present the first results from the Web Epoch of Reionization Ly α Survey (WERLS), a spectroscopic survey of Ly α emission using Keck I/MOSFIRE and LRIS.

Constraining Extended Reionization Models Through Arcminute-Scale CMB Measurements [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2009
The measurement of the optical depth to free electrons, tau_r, in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) provides an important constraint on reionization, but is degenerate to more complex reionization models. Small angular-scale CMB measurements of the kinetic Sunyaev-Zeldovich (kSZ) and Ostriker-Vishniac (OV) effects have the potential to break this ...

Direct Optimal Mapping Image Power Spectrum and its Window Functions

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The key to detecting neutral hydrogen during the epoch of reionization (EoR) is to separate the cosmological signal from the dominating foreground radiation.

Impact of Self-shielding Minihalos on the Lyα Forest at High Redshift

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Dense gas in minihalos with masses of 10 ^6 −10 ^8 M _⊙ can shield themselves from reionization for ∼100 Myr after being exposed to the UV background.

Digging into the Ultraviolet Luminosity Functions of Galaxies at High Redshifts: Galaxies Evolution, Reionization, and Cosmological Parameters

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Thanks to the successful performance of the James Webb Space Telescope, our understanding of the epoch of reionization of the Universe has been advanced.
