The Lumina Project: Morphology of Ionized Bubbles and Neutral Islands

Meredith Neyer, Aaron Smith, Ali Sadain +10

The Epoch of Reionization is characterized by the nucleation, expansion, and percolation of ionized bubbles in the intergalactic medium. Interpreting emerging multi-wavelength obse…

Stacking 21-cm Maps around Lyman- Emitters during Reionization: Prospects for a Cross-correlation Detection with the Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array

Kai-Feng Chen, Meredith Neyer, Jacqueline N. Hewitt +2

Observations of the redshifted 21-cm line during the Epoch of Reionization will open a new window to probe the intergalactic medium during the formation of the first stars, galaxie…

The THESAN project: Lyman-alpha emitters as probes of ionized bubble sizes

Meredith Neyer, Aaron Smith, Mark Vogelsberger +4

We use the THESAN radiation-hydrodynamics simulations to investigate how Lyman- emitters (LAEs) trace ionized bubble sizes during the Epoch of Reionization. We generate realisti…

The THESAN project: tracking the expansion and merger histories of ionized bubbles during the Epoch of Reionization

Nathan Jamieson, Aaron Smith, Meredith Neyer +7

The growth of ionized hydrogen bubbles in the intergalactic medium around early luminous objects is a fundamental process during the Epoch of Reionization (EoR). In this study, we…

The THESAN project: connecting ionized bubble sizes to their local environments during the Epoch of Reionization

Meredith Neyer, Aaron Smith, Rahul Kannan +7

An important characteristic of cosmic hydrogen reionization is the growth of ionized gas bubbles surrounding early luminous objects. Ionized bubble sizes are beginning to be probed…

The thesan project: public data release of radiation-hydrodynamic simulations matching reionization-era JWST observations

Enrico Garaldi, Rahul Kannan, Aaron Smith +13

Cosmological simulations serve as invaluable tools for understanding the Universe. However, the technical complexity and substantial computational resources required to generate su…

HI-shielding of in UV-irradiated protogalaxies: suppression of the photodissociation rate

Meredith Neyer, Jemma Wolcott-Green

We study the impact of neutral hydrogen absorption on photodissociation in protogalactic haloes exposed to soft-UV radiation. Lyman-series absorption can significantly…
