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…

TORRCH: Tomographic reconstruction of the reionization of cosmic hydrogen with Ly emitters and non-Ly-selected galaxies

Soumak Maitra, Girish Kulkarni, Vipul Arora +5

Tomographic reconstruction of reionization is a long-sought goal. It would move the field beyond global summary statistics, such as the volume-averaged ionised fraction, to direct,…

Efficient neutral-IGM inference from noisy 21-cm forest spectra with latent-space U-Net encoding and XGBoost

Sameer K. Patil, Tomáš Šoltinský, Soumak Maitra +1

The 21-cm forest, comprising narrow absorption features imprinted on the radio spectra of high-redshift radio-loud quasars by intervening neutral hydrogen, offers a uniquely sensit…
