New Constraints on the Highest-Energy Cosmic-Ray Electrons and Positrons
Matthew D. Kistler, Hasan Yuksel
At energies above a few TeV, no measurements of the cosmic-ray electron spectrum exist yet. By considering the similarity of air showers induced by electrons and gamma rays as seen…
Determining the escape fraction of ionizing photons during reionization with the GRB derived star-formation rate
Stuart Wyithe, Andrew M. Hopkins, Matthew D. Kistler +2
The fraction of ionizing photons that escape their host galaxies and so are able to ionize hydrogen in the inter-galactic medium (IGM) is a critical parameter in analyses of the re…
The Star Formation Rate in the Reionization Era as Indicated by Gamma-ray Bursts
Matthew D. Kistler, Hasan Yuksel, John F. Beacom +2
High-redshift gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) offer an extraordinary opportunity to study aspects of the early Universe, including the cosmic star formation rate (SFR). Motivated by the tw…
