Unveiling the dark matter nature with reionization relics
Yao Zhang, Paulo Montero-Camacho, Catalina Morales-Gutiérrez +3
Dark matter constitutes roughly one-fourth of the Universe, yet its physical nature remains unknown. Warm dark matter (WDM), a class of dark matter candidates, has non-negligible v…
The long-lasting effect of X-ray preheating in the post-reionization intergalactic medium
Paulo Montero-Camacho, Yao Zhang, Yi Mao
X-ray photons can penetrate deep into the intergalactic medium (IGM), leading to preheating of the IGM prior to cosmic reionization. X-ray preheating wipes out some of the small-sc…
Theoretical Models of the Atomic Hydrogen Content in Dark Matter Halos
Zhixing Li, Hong Guo, Yi Mao
Atomic hydrogen (H I) gas, mostly residing in dark matter halos after cosmic reionization, is the fuel for star formation. Its relation with properties of host halo is the key to u…
Separating the memory of reionization from cosmology in the Ly forest power spectrum at the post-reionization era
Paulo Montero-Camacho, Yuchen Liu, Yi Mao
It has been recently shown that the astrophysics of reionization can be extracted from the Ly forest power spectrum by marginalizing the memory of reionization over cosmological…
Implicit Likelihood Inference of Reionization Parameters from the 21 cm Power Spectrum
Xiaosheng Zhao, Yi Mao, Benjamin D. Wandelt
The first measurements of the 21 cm brightness temperature power spectrum from the epoch of reionization will very likely be achieved in the near future by radio interferometric ar…
Extracting the astrophysics of reionization from the Ly forest power spectrum: a first forecast
Paulo Montero-Camacho, Yi Mao
The impact of cosmic reionization on the Ly forest power spectrum has recently been shown to be significant even at low redshifts (). This memory of reionization survi…
