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…
The Persistence of Population III Star Formation
Richard H. Mebane, Jordan Mirocha, Steven R. Furlanetto
We present a semi-analytic model of star formation in the early universe, beginning with the first metal-free stars. By employing a completely feedback-limited star formation presc…
A Minimalist Feedback-Regulated Model for Galaxy Formation During the Epoch of Reionization
Steven Furlanetto, Jordan Mirocha, Richard Mebane +1
Near-infrared surveys have now determined the luminosity functions of galaxies at 6<z<9 to impressive precision and identified a number of candidates at even earlier times. Here we…
