Galaxy and Halo Assembly Bias in Alternative Dark Matter Models

Yikun Wang, Idit Zehavi, Sergio Contreras +6

The clustering of dark matter halos depends not only on halo mass but also on secondary halo properties, a phenomenon known as halo assembly bias. Coupled with variations in halo o…

The Lumina Project: Morphology of Ionized Bubbles and Neutral Islands

Meredith Neyer, Aaron Smith, Ali Sadain +10

The Epoch of Reionization is characterized by the nucleation, expansion, and percolation of ionized bubbles in the intergalactic medium. Interpreting emerging multi-wavelength obse…

From starlight to dark matter: a stochastic interpolation approach to map dark matter from stellar density

Xiaowei Ou, Lina Necib, Carolina Cuesta-Lazaro +9

The dark matter halo profile in galaxies holds key information about the nature of dark matter and galaxy formation. Constraining the dark matter profile of galaxies beyond the Mil…

RIGEL: Ultra-faint dwarf galaxy diversity shaped by inhomogeneous cosmic reionization

Yunwei Deng, Hui Li, Ewald Puchwein +7

Ultra-faint dwarf galaxies (UFDs) are among the smallest and oldest galaxies in the Universe and are widely regarded as relics of cosmic reionization. To investigate how reionizati…

Weighing Little Red Dots with Transient Events

Vinh Tran, Xuejian Shen, Oliver Zier +3

Recent JWST observations have revealed a large population of compact red sources at , known as Little Red Dots (LRDs), many of which show signatures of accreting massi…

Host Dependence and Line-of-Sight Effects on Galaxy-Galaxy Strong Lensing in Clusters

Cian Roche, Michael McDonald, Priyamvada Natarajan +4

The cross section for galaxy-galaxy strong lensing (GGSL) events in galaxy clusters has repeatedly been found to be higher in observations than in cosmological simulations. We revi…
