Mapping reionization bubbles in the JWST era II: inferring the position and characteristic size of individual bubbles

Ivan Nikolić, Andrei Mesinger, Charlotte A. Mason +5

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is discovering an increasing number of galaxies well into the early stages of the Epoch of Reionization (EoR). Many of these galaxies are clus…

Percent-level timing of reionization: self-consistent, implicit-likelihood inference from XQR-30+ Ly forest data

Yuxiang Qin, Andrei Mesinger, David Prelogović +13

The Lyman alpha (Lya) forest in the spectra of z>5 quasars provides a powerful probe of the late stages of the Epoch of Reionization (EoR). With the recent advent of exquisite data…

Mapping reionization bubbles in the JWST era I: empirical edge detection with Lyman alpha emission from galaxies

Ting-Yi Lu, Charlotte A. Mason, Andrei Mesinger +7

Ionized bubble sizes during reionization trace physical properties of the first galaxies. JWST's ability to spectroscopically confirm and measure Lyman-alpha (Ly) emission in su…

The importance of stochasticity in determining galaxy emissivities and UV LFs during cosmic dawn and reionization

Ivan Nikolić, Andrei Mesinger, James E. Davies +1

The stochastic nature of star formation and photon propagation in high-redshift galaxies can result in sizable galaxy-to-galaxy scatter in their properties. Ignoring this scatter b…

Exploring the role of the halo mass function for inferring astrophysical parameters during reionisation

Bradley Greig, David Prelogović, Jordan Mirocha +3

The detection of the 21-cm signal at will reveal insights into the properties of the first galaxies responsible for driving reionisation. To extract this information, w…

How informative are summaries of the cosmic 21-cm signal?

David Prelogović, Andrei Mesinger

The cosmic 21-cm signal will bring data-driven advances to studies of the Cosmic Dawn (CD) and Epoch of Reionization (EoR). Radio telescopes such as the SKA will eventually map the…

Are there more galaxies than we see around high- quasars?

Tommaso Zana, Stefano Carniani, David Prelogović +5

Whether or not quasars lie in the most massive dark-matter halos of the Universe is still a subject of dispute. While most theoretical studies support this scenario,…

Deep learning approach for identification of HII regions during reionization in 21-cm observations -- II. foreground contamination

Michele Bianco, Sambit. K. Giri, David Prelogović +5

The upcoming Square Kilometre Array Observatory (SKAO) will produce images of neutral hydrogen distribution during the epoch of reionization by observing the corresponding 21-cm si…

Machine learning astrophysics from 21 cm lightcones: impact of network architectures and signal contamination

David Prelogović, Andrei Mesinger, Steven Murray +2

Imaging the cosmic 21 cm signal will map out the first billion years of our Universe. The resulting 3D lightcone (LC) will encode the properties of the unseen first galaxies and ph…
