Radio Recombination Line Contamination in Post-Reionization 21 cm Intensity Mapping
Pip Petersen, Yakov Faerman, Matthew McQuinn
We explore radio recombination line (RRL) contamination in post-reionization 21 cm intensity mapping observations. We develop a formalism to estimate the contamination of the 21 cm…
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…
A Decade to Map the Diffuse Universe: FRB-QSO Pairs with HST/COS Spectroscopy
Jessica Werk, Matthew McQuinn, J. Xavier Prochaska +16
Jointly analyzing the sightlines of arcsecond-localized fast radio bursts (FRBs) and UV-bright quasars (QSOs) nearby in projection has the potential to provide strong constraints o…
Radiative Transfer Simulations of Ly Intensity Mapping During Cosmic Reionization Including Sources from Galaxies and the Intergalactic Medium
Abigail E. Ambrose, Eli Visbal, Mihir Kulkarni +1
We present new simulations of Lyman- (Ly) intensity maps that include Ly radiative transfer in the intergalactic medium (IGM) and all significant sources of Ly photons.…
