Force convergence in Monte Carlo Lyman-alpha radiative transfer
Joshua Kasiri, Aaron Smith, Kevin Lorinc +2
Monte Carlo radiative transfer (MCRT) is widely used to model Lyman-alpha (Lya) resonant-line transport, but convergence is difficult to assess in optically thick media where photo…
Lyman-alpha Pressure Strongly Enhances Pre-Supernova Feedback at Cosmic Dawn: The First Multi-Dimensional Lyman-alpha Radiation Hydrodynamics Simulations
Olof Nebrin, Aaron Smith, Garrelt Mellema +2
The dynamical role of Lyman- (Ly) radiation pressure feedback has been debated for nearly a century, with recent analytical and 1D numerical studies highlighting its potentia…
Lyman-alpha Radiation Pressure in Dense Star Clusters: Implications for Star Formation and Winds at Cosmic Dawn
Shyam H Menon, Aaron Smith
Observations with the JWST in lensed fields have revealed that galaxies at cosmic dawn may concentrate their star formation in highly dense, compact, star clusters. The high column…
Double-Peaked Ly Emission during Reionization Requires Nearby Voids and a Favorable Local Ionizing Background
Hyunbae Park, Aaron Smith, Intae Jung +11
Several Lyman-alpha (Ly) emitters deep into the reionization era exhibit double-peaked Ly emission profiles, raising the question of how the intergalactic medium can transmit…
Core-wing transitions and the breakdown of diffusion in Lyman- radiative transfer
Kevin Lorinc, Aaron Smith, Olof Nebrin +1
The Lyman alpha (LyA) line of neutral hydrogen plays a central role in observations of star-forming galaxies. However, resonant scattering makes it difficult to directly interpret…
The THESAN project: Lyman-alpha intensity mapping of cosmic reionization
Mouza Almualla, Aaron Smith, Rahul Kannan +6
Line Intensity Mapping (LIM) has garnered attention as a powerful cosmological probe, with next-generation instruments such as SPHEREx preparing to map the evolution of large-scale…
Multi-Resonant-Line Radiative Transfer: Lyman-Alpha Fine Structure and Deuterium Coupling
Ethan Stace, Aaron Smith, Kevin Lorinc +1
Resonance lines encode rich information about astrophysical sources and their environments, yet fully analytic treatments of multi-line radiative transfer remain almost entirely un…
Lyman-alpha resonant-line radiative transfer in expanding media
Aaron Smith, Kevin Lorinc, Olof Nebrin +1
The Lyman-alpha (LyA) line of atomic hydrogen encodes crucial information about both the intrinsic sources and surrounding environments of star-forming regions throughout the Unive…
Cosmic Ly Emission from Diffuse Gas
Sung-Han Tsai, Ke-Jung Chen, Aaron Smith +1
The Ly emission has emerged as a powerful tool for probing diffuse gas within the large-scale structure of the universe. In this paper, we investigate cosmic Ly emission by p…
Lyman- feedback prevails at Cosmic Dawn: Implications for the first galaxies, stars, and star clusters
Olof Nebrin, Aaron Smith, Kevin Lorinc +4
Radiation pressure from Lyman- (Ly) scattering is a potentially dominant form of early stellar feedback, capable of injecting up to more momentum into th…
