Reionization with Simba: How much does astrophysics matter in modeling cosmic reionization?

Sultan Hassan, Romeel Davé, Matthew McQuinn +5

Traditional large-scale models of reionization usually employ simple deterministic relations between halo mass and luminosity to predict how reionization proceeds. We here examine…
