A New Constraint on the Optical Depth from the Reionization History Independent of CMB Large-Scale E-Mode Polarization
Yuta Kageura, Masami Ouchi, Fumihiro Naokawa +5
Recent studies report a mild discrepancy between BAO and CMB measurements within the CDM framework. This discrepancy could be explained if the optical depth inferred from th…
EMPRESS. XV. A New Determination of the Primordial Helium Abundance Suggesting a Moderately Low Value
Hiroto Yanagisawa, Masami Ouchi, Akinori Matsumoto +18
We present a new constraint on the primordial helium abundance, , based on Subaru observations. A major source of uncertainty in previous determination…
EMPRESS. X. Spatially resolved mass-metallicity relation in extremely metal-poor galaxies: evidence of episodic star-formation fueled by a metal-poor gas infall
Kimihiko Nakajima, Masami Ouchi, Yuki Isobe +47
Using the Subaru/FOCAS IFU capability, we examine the spatially resolved relationships between gas-phase metallicity, stellar mass, and star-formation rate surface densities (Sigma…
SILVERRUSH. XIV. Lya Luminosity Functions and Angular Correlation Functions from ~20,000 Lya Emitters at z~2.2-7.3 from upto 24 HSC-SSP and CHORUS Surveys: Linking the Post-Reionization Epoch to the Heart of Reionization
Hiroya Umeda, Masami Ouchi, Satoshi Kikuta +11
We present the luminosity functions (LFs) and angular correlation functions (ACFs) derived from 18,960 Ly emitters (LAEs) at over a wide survey area of $\lesssim24 {…
Strong He I Emission Lines in High N/O Galaxies at Identified in JWST Spectra: High He/H Abundance Ratios or High Electron Densities?
Hiroto Yanagisawa, Masami Ouchi, Kuria Watanabe +14
We present HeI/H-flux and He/H-abundance ratios in three JWST galaxies with significant constraints on N/O-abundance ratios, GS-NDG-9422, RXCJ2248-ID, and GLASS150008 at $z\sim…
Balmer Decrement Anomalies in Galaxies at z ~ 6 Found by JWST Observations: Density-Bounded Nebulae or Excited H I Clouds?
Hiroto Yanagisawa, Masami Ouchi, Kimihiko Nakajima +11
We investigate the physical origins of the Balmer decrement anomalies in GS-NDG-9422 (Cameron et al. 2023) and RXCJ2248-ID (Topping et al. 2024) galaxies at whose $\mathr…
