A hidden reionization prior biases cosmological inference
Zihan Wang, Huanyuan Shan
Precision cosmology assumes that cosmic reionization was a single smooth transition. We show that this assumption is in tension with current observations: the Planck optical depth,…
The JWST early galaxy crisis resolved by a reionization degeneracy
Zihan Wang, Huanyuan Shan
JWST's discovery of unexpectedly bright galaxies has triggered claims that standard CDM cannot reproduce their abundances, while estimates of the ionizing escape fraction…
A structural degeneracy explains reionization tensions and limits dark matter constraints
Zihan Wang, Huanyuan Shan
Over the past decade, reionization studies have yielded persistent factor-of-two-to-five disagreements in the inferred ionizing escape fraction and peak star for…
Breaking the UV Luminosity Function Degeneracy:Self-Interacting Dark Matter Constraints from Reionization Topology
Zihan Wang, Huanyuan Shan
Self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) is the leading framework resolving small-scale cold dark matter (CDM) crises, yet high-redshift SIDM constraints are fundamentally limited by de…
Constraining Neutrino Mass with the Void Weak Lensing Effect
Wenshuo Xu, Cheng Zhao, Chen Su +2
Cosmic voids, the underdense regions of the Large Scale Structure (LSS), provide cosmological information highly complementary to that obtained from overdense regions. In this work…
MUltiplexed Survey Telescope (MUST) Science White Paper I: Overview of Large-Scale Structure Cosmology in the Era of Stage-V Spectroscopic Surveys
Cheng Zhao, Song Huang, Mengfan He +41
The MUltiplexed Survey Telescope (MUST) is a 6.5-meter telescope under development. Dedicated to highly-multiplexed, wide-field spectroscopic surveys, MUST observes over 20,000 tar…
