Super-Eddington Little Blue Dots May Reionize Helium Too Early

Christopher Cain, Brent Smith, Gibson B. Bowling +5

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has identified an abundant population of faint Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) at which display broad emission lines, compact morph…

Galaxy Underdensities Host the Clearest IGM Ly Transmission and Indicate Anisotropic Reionization

Yongda Zhu, George D. Becker, Anson D'Aloisio +6

How galaxies drive reionization and what governs its geometry remain fundamental questions. We present JWST/NIRCam wide-field slitless spectroscopy (WFSS) observations toward two o…

A long time ago in an LAE far, far away: a signpost of early reionization or a nascent AGN at ?

Joshua Cohon, Christopher Cain, Rogier Windhorst +3

The JADES survey recently reported the discovery of JADES-GS-z13-1-LA at , the highest redshift Ly emitter (LAE) ever observed. This observation suggests that either the…

New constraints on the galactic ionizing efficiency and escape fraction at 2.5 < z < 6 based on quasar absorption spectra

Christopher Cain, Anson D'Aloisio, Julian B. Munoz

Measurements of the ionisation state of the intergalactic medium (IGM) can probe the sources of the extragalactic ionising background. We provide new measurements of the ionising e…

The relationship between IGM Lyman-alpha opacity and galaxy density near the end of reionization

Holly M. Christenson, George D. Becker, Anson D'Aloisio +6

Observed scatter in the Lyman-alpha opacity of quasar sightlines at has motivated measurements of the correlation between Ly opacity and galaxy density, as models that pre…

Cosmic Dawn (CoDa): the First Radiation-Hydrodynamics Simulation of Reionization and Galaxy Formation in the Local Universe

Pierre Ocvirk, Nicolas Gillet, Paul R. Shapiro +12

Cosmic reionization by starlight from early galaxies affected their evolution, thereby impacting reionization, itself. Star formation suppression, for example, may explain the obse…
