Nearly pristine gas in a galaxy 1 billion years after the Big Bang
Sarah E. I. Bosman, Frederick B. Davies, Louise Welsh +22
Excitation of carbon and oxygen ions is the primary mechanism by which collapsing gas clouds dissipate heat to form new stars. At early cosmic times, in galaxies with chemically pr…
Reliable Parameter Inference for the Epoch of Reionization using Balanced Neural Ratio Estimation
Diego González-Hernández, Molly Wolfson, Joseph F. Hennawi
We present an application of the Balanced Neural Ratio Estimation (BNRE) algorithm to improve the statistical validity of parameter estimates used to characterize the Epoch of Reio…
Using Neural Emulators and Hamiltonian Monte Carlo to constrain the Epoch of Reionization's History with the Ly Forest Power Spectrum
Diego González-Hernández, Caitlin Doughty, Molly Wolfson +2
The Lyman-alpha (Ly) forest at offers a primary probe to constrain the history of the Epoch of Reionization (EoR), retaining thermal and ionization signatures imprint…
Neural network emulator to constrain the high- IGM thermal state from Lyman- forest flux auto-correlation function
Zhenyu Jin, Molly Wolfson, Joseph F. Hennawi +1
We present a neural network emulator to constrain the thermal parameters of the intergalactic medium (IGM) at using the Lyman- (L…
Damping Wing-Like Features in the Stacked Ly Forest: Potential Neutral Hydrogen Islands at
Yongda Zhu, George D. Becker, Sarah E. I. Bosman +28
Recent quasar absorption line observations suggest that reionization may end as late as . As a means to search for large neutral hydrogen islands at , we revisi…
Forecasting constraints on the high-z IGM thermal state from the Lyman- forest flux auto-correlation function
Molly Wolfson, Joseph F. Hennawi, Frederick B. Davies +2
The auto-correlation function of the Lyman- (Ly) forest flux from high-z quasars can statistically probe all scales of the intergalactic medium (IGM) just after the epoch of…
Measurements of the Lyman- forest flux auto-correlation functions from the extended XQR-30 data set
Molly Wolfson, Joseph F. Hennawi, Sarah E. I. Bosman +14
Recently, the Lyman- (Ly) forest flux auto-correlation function has been shown to be sensitive to the mean free path of hydrogen-ionizing photons, , for simul…
XQR-30: the ultimate XSHOOTER quasar sample at the reionization epoch
Valentina D'Odorico, E. Banados, G. D. Becker +46
The final phase of the reionization process can be probed by rest-frame UV absorption spectra of quasars at z>6, shedding light on the properties of the diffuse intergalactic mediu…
Forecasting constraints on the mean free path of ionizing photons at from the Lyman- forest flux auto-correlation function
Molly Wolfson, Joseph F. Hennawi, Frederick B. Davies +1
Fluctuations in Lyman- (Ly) forest transmission towards high- quasars are partially sourced from spatial fluctuations in the ultraviolet background (UVB), the level of whi…
Improving IGM temperature constraints using wavelet analysis on high-redshift quasars
Molly Wolfson, Joseph F. Hennawi, Frederick B. Davies +3
The thermal state of the intergalactic medium (IGM) contains vital information about the epoch of reionization, one of the most transformative yet poorly understood periods in the…
A Comment on the Scale Length Validity of the Position Dependent Diffusion Coefficient Representation of Structural Heterogeneity
Molly Wolfson, Christopher Liepold, Binhua Lin +1
Experimental studies of the variation of the mean square displacement (MSD) of a particle in a confined colloid suspension that exhibits density variations on the scale length of t…
