Fireworks at Cosmic Dawn: relieving BAO-CMB tensions with the Pop III.1 Flash

Yash Aggarwal, Christopher Cain, Garett Lopez +4

A Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) optical depth of , several in excess of the latest Planck low- EE polarization measurement, has been proposed as a way t…

Introducing SAGUARO -- Simulating IGM Evolution and Environments At High Resolution: Setup and First Results

Christopher Cain, Aloha Das, Anson D'Aloisio +7

Small-scale physics in the intergalactic medium (IGM) plays a crucial role in shaping the progress of cosmic reionization and several high-redshift observables that probe this peri…

Kiloparsec-scale turbulence driven by reionization may grow intergalactic magnetic fields

Christopher Cain, Matthew McQuinn, Evan Scannapieco +2

The intergalactic medium (IGM) underwent intense heating that resulted in pressure disequilibrium in the wake of ionization fronts during cosmic reionization. The dynamical relaxat…

Cross-correlating the patchy screening and kinetic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effects as a new probe of reionization

Darby Kramer, Alexander van Engelen, Christopher Cain +5

The kinetic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect (kSZ) and patchy screening effect are two complementary cosmic microwave background (CMB) probes of the reionization era. The kSZ effect is a…

The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: A Measurement of the DR6 CMB Lensing Power Spectrum and its Implications for Structure Growth

Frank J. Qu, Blake D. Sherwin, Mathew S. Madhavacheril +155

We present new measurements of cosmic microwave background (CMB) lensing over sq. deg. of the sky. These lensing measurements are derived from the Atacama Cosmology Telescop…

The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: DR6 Power Spectrum Foreground Model and Validation

Benjamin Beringue, Kristen M. Surrao, J. Colin Hill +28

We discuss the model of astrophysical emission at millimeter wavelengths used to characterize foregrounds in the multi-frequency power spectra of the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (A…
