CoReCon: an open, community-powered collection of Reionization constraints

Abstract

The number of available constraints on the Universe during and before cosmic reionization is rapidly growing. These are often scattered across inhomogeneous formats, unit systems and sampling strategies. In this paper, I introduce CoReCon, a Python package designed to provide a growing set of constraints on key physical quantities related to the Epoch of Reionization and a platform for the high-redshift research community to collect and store, in an open way, current and forthcoming observational constraints.
