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…
