A self-consistent analytical model for both the photoionization rate and reionization history
Christopher Cain, Kevin S. Croker, Anson D'Aloisio +4
Recent developments at the intersection of cosmology and astrophysics have highlighted the need for improved analytical models of observables that probe the Epoch of Reionization.…
We Must Preserve Hubble given its Unique Complementarity to Webb, Roman, and Euclid
Rogier A. Windhorst, Gibson B. Bowling, Kevin S. Croker +17
We present compelling arguments -- focusing on galaxy science -- for preserving the main imagers and operational modes of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) for as long as is technic…
Positive neutrino masses with DESI DR2 via matter conversion to dark energy
S. Ahlen, A. Aviles, B. Cartwright +46
The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) is a massively parallel spectroscopic survey on the Mayall telescope at Kitt Peak, which has released measurements of baryon acousti…
The CMB optical depth constrains the duration of reionization
Christopher Cain, Alexander Van Engelen, Kevin S. Croker +3
Recently, it was pointed out that invoking a large value of the CMB optical depth, , could help resolve tensions between DESI DR2 BAO data and the CMB. This is…
