Simulating the 21cm forest detectable with LOFAR and SKA in the spectra of high-z GRBs

B. Ciardi, S. Inoue, F. B. Abdalla +26

We investigate the feasibility of detecting 21cm absorption features in the afterglow spectra of high redshift long Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs). This is done employing simulations of c…

Effect of Intergalactic Medium on the Observability of Lyman Alpha Emitters during Cosmic Reionization

Akila Jeeson-Daniel, Benedetta Ciardi, Umberto Maio +3

We perform a systematic study of how the inhomogeneities in the Inter-Galactic Medium (IGM) affect the observability of Lyman Alpha Emitters (LAEs) around the Epoch of Reionization…

Enabling parallel computing in CRASH

Adrian M. Partl, Antonella Maselli, Benedetta Ciardi +2

We present the new parallel version (pCRASH2) of the cosmological radiative transfer code CRASH2 for distributed memory supercomputing facilities. The code is based on a static dom…

The visibility of Lyman Alpha Emitters during reionization

Pratika Dayal, Antonella Maselli, Andrea Ferrara

We present the first Lyman Alpha Emitter (LAE) study that combines: (i) cosmological SPH simulations run using GADGET-2, (ii) radiative transfer simulations (CRASH), and (iii) a pr…

Interpreting the Transmission Windows of Distant Quasars

A. Maselli, A. Ferrara, S. Gallerani

We propose the Apparent Shrinking Criterion (ASC) to interpret the spatial extent, R_w, of transmitted flux windows in the absorption spectra of high-z quasars. The ASC can discrim…

CRASH_alpha: coupling continuum and line radiative transfer

M. Pierleoni, A. Maselli, B. Ciardi

In this paper we present CRASH_alpha, the first radiative transfer code for cosmological application that follows the parallel propagation of Ly_alpha and ionizing photons. CRASH_a…
