Forest without Trees is still Fruitful: Constraints on the thermal state of the neutral IGM at with the 21-cm forest power spectrum
Tomáš Šoltinský, Arnab Chakraborty, Girish Kulkarni +10
Neutral regions of the intergalactic medium (IGM) during the Epoch of Reionization (EoR) remain largely unexplored due to the limitations of existing probes. Owing to discoveries o…
Updated dark pixel fraction constraints on reionization's end from the Lyman-series forests of XQR-30
Frederick B. Davies, Sarah E. I. Bosman, Valentina D'Odorico +16
The fraction of "dark pixels" in the Ly and other Lyman-series forests at provides a powerful constraint on the end of the reionization process. Any spectral region…
Percent-level timing of reionization: self-consistent, implicit-likelihood inference from XQR-30+ Ly forest data
Yuxiang Qin, Andrei Mesinger, David PrelogoviÄ +13
The Lyman alpha (Lya) forest in the spectra of z>5 quasars provides a powerful probe of the late stages of the Epoch of Reionization (EoR). With the recent advent of exquisite data…
Damping Wing-Like Features in the Stacked Ly Forest: Potential Neutral Hydrogen Islands at
Yongda Zhu, George D. Becker, Sarah E. I. Bosman +28
Recent quasar absorption line observations suggest that reionization may end as late as . As a means to search for large neutral hydrogen islands at , we revisi…
IGM damping wing constraints on the tail end of reionisation from the enlarged XQR-30 sample
Bradley Greig, Andrei Mesinger, Eduardo Bañados +16
The attenuation of Ly photons by neutral hydrogen in the intergalactic medium (IGM) at continues to be a powerful probe for studying the epoch of reionisation. Give…
