A Generative Modeling Approach to Reconstructing 21-cm Tomographic Data

Nashwan Sabti, Ram Reddy, Julian B. Muñoz +2

Analyses of the cosmic 21-cm signal are hampered by astrophysical foregrounds that are far stronger than the signal itself. These foregrounds, typically confined to a wedge-shaped…

The First Billion Years in Seconds: An Effective Model for the 21-cm Signal with Population III Stars

Hector Afonso G. Cruz, Julian B. Munoz, Nashwan Sabti +1

Observations of the 21-cm signal are opening a window to the cosmic-dawn epoch, when the first stars formed. These observations are usually interpreted with semi-numerical or hydro…

Breaking degeneracies in the first galaxies with clustering

Julian B. Muñoz, Jordan Mirocha, Steven Furlanetto +1

The high-redshift galaxy UV luminosity function (UVLF) has become essential for understanding the formation and evolution of the first galaxies. Yet, UVLFs only measure galaxy abun…

Insights from HST into Ultra-Massive Galaxies and Early-Universe Cosmology

Nashwan Sabti, Julian B. Muñoz, Marc Kamionkowski

The early-science observations made by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have revealed an excess of ultra-massive galaxy candidates that appear to challenge the standard cosmol…

Snowmass2021 Cosmic Frontier White Paper: Dark Matter Physics from Halo Measurements

Keith Bechtol, Simon Birrer, Francis-Yan Cyr-Racine +41

The non-linear process of cosmic structure formation produces gravitationally bound overdensities of dark matter known as halos. The abundances, density profiles, ellipticities, an…

Cosmic Neutrino Background Detection in Large-Neutrino-Mass Cosmologies

James Alvey, Miguel Escudero, Nashwan Sabti +1

The Cosmic Neutrino Background (CNB) is a definite prediction of the standard cosmological model and its direct discovery would represent a milestone in cosmology and neutrino phys…

What can CMB observations tell us about the neutrino distribution function?

James Alvey, Miguel Escudero, Nashwan Sabti

Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) observations have been used extensively to constrain key properties of neutrinos, such as their mass. However, these inferences are typically depe…
