Mapping Galactic Dust Emission and Extinction with HI, HII, and H

Yun-Ting Cheng, Brandon S. Hensley, Tzu-Ching Chang +1

Neutral hydrogen (HI) emission closely traces the dust column density at high Galactic latitudes and is thus a powerful tool for predicting dust extinction. However, the relation b…

LIMFAST. III. Timing Cosmic Reionization with the 21 cm and Near-Infrared Backgrounds

Guochao Sun, Adam Lidz, Tzu-Ching Chang +2

The timeline of cosmic reionization remains uncertain despite sustained efforts to study how the ionizing output of early galaxies shaped the intergalactic medium (IGM). Using the…

The relative constraining power of the high- 21-cm dipole and monopole signals

Jordan Mirocha, Chris Anderson, Tzu-Ching Chang +2

The 21-cm background is a promising probe of early star formation and black hole activity. While a slew of experiments on the ground seek to detect the 21-cm monopole and spatial f…

Bayesian Multi-line Intensity Mapping

Yun-Ting Cheng, Kailai Wang, Benjamin D. Wandelt +2

Line intensity mapping (LIM) has emerged as a promising tool for probing the 3D large-scale structure through the aggregate emission of spectral lines. The presence of interloper l…

Is the Radio Source Dipole from NVSS Consistent with the CMB and CDM?

Yun-Ting Cheng, Tzu-Ching Chang, Adam Lidz

The dipole moment in the angular distribution of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) is thought to originate from the Doppler effect and our motion relative to the CMB frame. Obs…
