LIMFAST. II. Line Intensity Mapping as a Probe of High-Redshift Galaxy Formation

Guochao Sun, Lluís Mas-Ribas, Tzu-Ching Chang +5

The epoch of reionization (EoR) offers a unique window into the dawn of galaxy formation, through which high-redshift galaxies can be studied by observations of both themselves and…

LIMFAST. I. A Semi-Numerical Tool for Line Intensity Mapping

Lluís Mas-Ribas, Guochao Sun, Tzu-Ching Chang +2

We present LIMFAST, a semi-numerical code for simulating high-redshift galaxy formation and cosmic reionization as revealed by multi-tracer line intensity mapping (LIM) signals. LI…

Probing Population III Initial Mass Functions with He II/H Intensity Mapping

Jasmine Parsons, Lluis Mas-Ribas, Guochao Sun +3

We demonstrate the potential of line-intensity mapping to place constraints on the initial mass function (IMF) of Population III stars via measurements of the mean He II 1640A/H…

Revealing the formation histories of the first stars with the cosmic near-infrared background

Guochao Sun, Jordan Mirocha, Richard H. Mebane +1

The cosmic near-infrared background (NIRB) offers a powerful integral probe of radiative processes at different cosmic epochs, including the pre-reionization era when metal-free, P…

The Effects of Population III X-ray and Radio Backgrounds on the Cosmological 21-cm Signal

Richard H. Mebane, Jordan Mirocha, Steven R. Furlanetto

We investigate the effects of Population III (Pop III) stars and their remnants on the cosmological 21-cm global signal. By combining a semi-analytic model of Pop III star formatio…

Unique Signatures of Population III Stars in the Global 21-cm Signal

Jordan Mirocha, Richard H. Mebane, Steven R. Furlanetto +2

We investigate the effects of Population III stars on the sky-averaged 21-cm background radiation, which traces the collective emission from all sources of ultraviolet and X-ray ph…
