Nearly pristine gas in a galaxy 1 billion years after the Big Bang

Sarah E. I. Bosman, Frederick B. Davies, Louise Welsh +22

Excitation of carbon and oxygen ions is the primary mechanism by which collapsing gas clouds dissipate heat to form new stars. At early cosmic times, in galaxies with chemically pr…

Forest without Trees is still Fruitful: Constraints on the thermal state of the neutral IGM at with the 21-cm forest power spectrum

Tomáš Šoltinský, Arnab Chakraborty, Girish Kulkarni +10

Neutral regions of the intergalactic medium (IGM) during the Epoch of Reionization (EoR) remain largely unexplored due to the limitations of existing probes. Owing to discoveries o…

The impact of source and survey modelling on the connection between [O III] emitters and Ly forest transmission at z ~ 6

Luke Conaboy, James S. Bolton, Laura C. Keating +3

James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) surveys of [O III]-emitting galaxies are offering fresh insight into the connection between galaxies and the intergalactic medium at redshift z ~…

TORRCH: Tomographic reconstruction of the reionization of cosmic hydrogen with Ly emitters and non-Ly-selected galaxies

Soumak Maitra, Girish Kulkarni, Vipul Arora +5

Tomographic reconstruction of reionization is a long-sought goal. It would move the field beyond global summary statistics, such as the volume-averaged ionised fraction, to direct,…

The Lyman- emitter bispectrum as a probe of reionization morphology

Soumak Maitra, Girish Kulkarni, Shikhar Asthana +3

Ly emitters (LAEs) have now been discovered out to redshift , and are valuable probes of the reionization history at redshifts beyond the reach of other currently availabl…

How probable is the Lyman- damping wing in the spectrum of the redshift z = 5.9896 quasar ULAS J0148+0600?

Fiona Sawyer, James S. Bolton, George D. Becker +5

The shape of the Ly- transmission in the near zone of the redshift quasar ULAS J01480600 (hereafter J0148) is consistent with a damping wing arising from an extend…

The connection between high-redshift galaxies and Lyman transmission in the Sherwood-Relics simulations of patchy reionisation

Luke Conaboy, James S. Bolton, Laura C. Keating +3

Recent work has suggested that, during reionisation, spatial variations in the ionising radiation field should produce enhanced Ly forest transmission at distances of tens of c…

Prospects of a statistical detection of the 21-cm forest and its potential to constrain the thermal state of the neutral IGM during reionization

Tomáš Šoltinský, Girish Kulkarni, Shriharsh P. Tendulkar +1

The 21-cm forest signal is a promising probe of the Epoch of Reionization complementary to other 21-cm line observables and Ly forest signal. Prospects of detecting it have sign…

Damping Wing-Like Features in the Stacked Ly Forest: Potential Neutral Hydrogen Islands at

Yongda Zhu, George D. Becker, Sarah E. I. Bosman +28

Recent quasar absorption line observations suggest that reionization may end as late as . As a means to search for large neutral hydrogen islands at , we revisi…

Evidence of Pop~III stars' chemical signature in neutral gas at z~6. A study based on the E-XQR-30 spectroscopic sample

Alessio Sodini, Valentina D'Odorico, Stefania Salvadori +16

This study explores the metal enrichment signatures attributed to the first generation of stars (PopIII) in the Universe, focusing on the E-XQR-30 sample. We aim to identify traces…
