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…

The MIRI Early Obscured-AGN Wide Survey (MEOW): A Population of Hidden AGN at Revealed by JWST/MIRI Imaging

Gene C. K. Leung, Anna-Christina Eilers, Ryan Endsley +25

We present the MIRI Early Obscured-AGN Wide Survey (MEOW), a JWST/MIRI imaging survey designed to detect dust-obscured active galactic nuclei (AGN) across cosmic time, with a parti…

The Lumina Project: Intergalactic Clumping and Recombination Sinks

Ali Sadain, Aaron Smith, Oliver Zier +10

Recombinations during the Epoch of Reionization are intrinsically inhomogeneous, with different regions of the intergalactic medium contributing unevenly depending on their density…

The Lumina Project: The Demographics of Active Galactic Nuclei from Quasars to Little Red Dots at

Xuejian Shen, Oliver Zier, Aaron Smith +16

High-redshift active galactic nuclei (AGN) serve as powerful probes of early black-hole growth, galaxy formation, and the evolving intergalactic medium (IGM). In this work, we use…

Introducing the Lumina project: large-volume radiation-hydrodynamic simulations of the epochs of hydrogen and helium reionization

Oliver Zier, Aaron Smith, Xuejian Shen +8

Understanding how galaxies and active galactic nuclei (AGN) jointly drive the reionization of the intergalactic medium (IGM) across cosmic time remains a major challenge in cosmolo…

MEOW: The increase in the obscured AGN fraction in mid-infrared from 0 < z < 6 with JWST MIRI

Teodora-Elena Bulichi, Gene C. K. Leung, Anna-Christina Eilers +16

Obscured active galactic nuclei (AGN) are often invoked to explain the rapid emergence of young quasars at high redshift and are crucial for building a complete census of AGN activ…

High-redshift AGN population in radiation-hydrodynamics simulations

Teodora-Elena Bulichi, Oliver Zier, Aaron Smith +7

High-redshift active galactic nuclei (AGN) have long been recognized as key probes of early black hole growth and galaxy evolution. However, modeling this population remains diffic…

Expanding on the Fundamental Metallicity Relation in Dwarf Galaxies with MUSE

Teodora-Elena Bulichi, Katja Fahrion, François Mernier +10

The mass-metallicity relation (MZR) represents one of the most important scaling relations in the context of galaxy evolution, comprising a positive correlation between stellar mas…

How galaxy properties vary with filament proximity in the SIMBA simulations

Teodora-Elena Bulichi, Romeel Dave, Katarina Kraljic

We explore the dependence of global galaxy properties in the SIMBA simulation as a function of distance from filaments identified using DisPerSe. We exclude halos with mass $M_h>10…

Nuclear star cluster formation in star-forming dwarf galaxies

Katja Fahrion, Teodora-Elena Bulichi, Michael Hilker +7

Nuclear star clusters (NSCs) are massive star clusters found in all types of galaxies from dwarfs to massive galaxies. Recent studies show that while low-mass NSCs in dwarf galaxie…
