Massive Population III Galaxies Near a GN-z11 Analog: The Role of the Baryon-Dark Matter Streaming Velocity

Eli Visbal, Greg L. Bryan, Ryan Hazlett

Recently the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) detected Hebe, a Population III (Pop III) candidate located kpc in projection from the massive galaxy GN-z11. This…

Abundant Heavy Black Hole Seeds from Moderate Lyman-Werner Radiation

Ryan Hazlett, Eli Visbal, Greg L. Bryan +1

The existence of high-redshift quasars may indicate that massive black hole seeds formed via supermassive Population III stars in atomic-cooling halos with large gas inflow rates;…

On Cross-Correlating Line Intensity Maps from SPHEREx during Reionization

Abigail E. Ambrose, Eli Visbal, Matthew McQuinn

We have simulated Lyα, Hα, Hβ, [OII], and [OIII] intensity maps which are observable by SPHEREx during cosmic reionization. We simulate these intensity maps including all significa…

AGN Line-Intensity Mapping: A Probe of Faint Black Holes at Cosmic Noon

Eli Visbal, Greg L. Bryan

We propose line-intensity mapping (LIM) as a new probe of active galactic nuclei (AGN). By cross-correlating [Ne V] intensity maps with galaxy redshift surveys, we show that the cu…

Exploring the High-Redshift 21-cm Signal via Self-Consistent Simulations using Artificial Neural Network Emulation

Colton R. Feathers, Eli Visbal, Steven Murray +2

We present a novel, self-consistent, semi-numeric Cosmic Dawn (CD) simulation in which small-scale star formation (SF) is calibrated to the \emph{AEOS} and \emph{Renaissance} hydro…

From Primordial Stars to Early Galaxies: A Semi-Analytic Model Calibrated with Aeos and Renaissance

Ryan Hazlett, Jennifer Mead, Eli Visbal +6

We present an extension of our semi-analytic model that follows the formation of Population III stars and their metal-enriched descendants, incorporating dark matter halo merger tr…
