Galaxy Underdensities Host the Clearest IGM Ly Transmission and Indicate Anisotropic Reionization

Yongda Zhu, George D. Becker, Anson D'Aloisio +6

How galaxies drive reionization and what governs its geometry remain fundamental questions. We present JWST/NIRCam wide-field slitless spectroscopy (WFSS) observations toward two o…

Chasing the beginning of reionization in the JWST era

Christopher Cain, Garett Lopez, Anson D'Aloisio +4

Recent JWST observations at may imply galactic ionizing photon production above prior expectations. Under observationally motivated assumptions about escape fractions, thes…

On the correlation between Ly forest opacity and galaxy density in late reionization models

Nakul Gangolli, Anson D'Aloisio, Christopher Cain +2

The relationship between Ly forest opacity and local galaxy density (the opacity-density relation) is a key observational test of late reionization models. Using narrow-band sur…

On the rise and fall of galactic ionizing output at the end of reionization

Christopher Cain, Anson D'Aloisio, Garett Lopez +2

Quasar absorption spectra measurements suggest that reionization proceeded rapidly, ended late at , and was followed by a flat ionizing background evolution. Simulation…

The Morphology of Reionization in a Dynamically Clumpy Universe

Christopher Cain, Anson D'Aloisio, Nakul Gangolli +1

A recent measurement of the Lyman-limit mean free path at suggests it may have been very short, motivating a better understanding of the role that ionizing photon sinks pla…

Small-scale clumping of dark matter and the mean free path of ionizing photons at

Christopher Cain, Anson D'Aloisio, Vid Irsic +2

Recently, the mean free path of ionizing photons in the intergalactic medium (IGM) was measured to be very short, presenting a challenge to existing reionization models. At…

Hydrodynamic Response of the Intergalactic Medium to Reionization II: Physical Characteristics and Dynamics of Ionizing Photon Sinks

Fahad Nasir, Christopher Cain, Anson D'Aloisio +2

Becker et al. 2021 measured the mean free path of Lyman limit photons in the IGM at . The short value suggests that absorptions may have played a prominent role in reionizatio…

A short mean free path at favors late and rapid reionization by faint galaxies

Christopher Cain, Anson D'Aloisio, Nakul Gangolli +1

Recent measurements of the ionizing photon mean free path () at suggest that the IGM was rapidly evolving at those times. We use radiative transfer s…

Constraining Reionization in Progress at z=5.7 with Lyman- Emitters: Voids, Peaks, and Cosmic Variance

Nakul Gangolli, Anson D'Aloisio, Fahad Nasir +1

A number of independent observations suggest that the intergalactic medium was significantly neutral at and that reionization was, perhaps, still in progress at . The…
