An emulator for the ionizing photon mean free path in ultra-high resolution simulations: the implications of mean free path measurements for the reionization history

Hurum Maksora Tohfa, Christopher Cain, Matthew McQuinn +1

Measurements of the mean free path of ionizing photons from high-redshift quasar spectra at $z\sim 5$-$6$ constrain the reionization history, but interpreting them requires modeli…
