Constraints on Reionization from Planck Low- EE Polarization and the Lyman-Series Forests

Garett Lopez, Anson D'Aloisio, Christopher Cain

CMB measurements tightly constrain the Thomson scattering optical depth (), but they still permit a broad range of degenerate reionization histories. Incorporating Lyma…

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…

Fireworks at Cosmic Dawn: relieving BAO-CMB tensions with the Pop III.1 Flash

Yash Aggarwal, Christopher Cain, Garett Lopez +4

A Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) optical depth of , several in excess of the latest Planck low- EE polarization measurement, has been proposed as a way to…

A self-consistent analytical model for both the photoionization rate and reionization history

Christopher Cain, Kevin S. Croker, Anson D'Aloisio +4

Recent developments at the intersection of cosmology and astrophysics have highlighted the need for improved analytical models of observables that probe the Epoch of Reionization.…

Mapping quark-level kinematics to hadrons in a new hybrid model of semileptonic meson decays

Philipp Horak, Robert Kowalewski, Tommy Martinov

The need to map parton-level processes to color-neutral hadrons in a way that respects quark-hadron duality arises in several areas of physics, including in the semileptonic decays…

An emulator for the ionizing photon mean free path in ultra-high resolution simulations: the implications of mean free path measurements for the reionization history

Hurum Maksora Tohfa, Christopher Cain, Matthew McQuinn +1

Measurements of the mean free path of ionizing photons from high-redshift quasar spectra at - constrain the reionization history, but interpreting them requires modeli…
