On the use of semi-numerical simulations in predicting the 21-cm signal from the epoch of reionization

Suman Majumdar, Garrelt Mellema, Kanan K. Datta +4

We present a detailed comparison of three different simulations of the epoch of reionization (EoR). The radiative transfer simulation (-RAY) among them is our benchmark.…

Simulating Cosmic Reionization and the Radiation Backgrounds from the Epoch of Reionization

Paul R. Shapiro, Ilian T. Iliev, Garrelt Mellema +10

Large-scale reionization simulations are described which combine the results of cosmological N-body simulations that model the evolving density and velocity fields and identify the…

Hunting for dark halo substructure using submilliarcsecond-scale observations of macrolensed radio jets

Erik Zackrisson, Saghar Asadi, Kaj Wiik +8

Dark halo substructure may reveal itself through secondary, small-scale gravitational lensing effects on light sources that are macrolensed by a foreground galaxy. Here, we explore…

Prospects of observing a quasar HII region during the Epoch of Reionization with redshifted 21cm

Kanan K. Datta, Martina M. Friedrich, Garrelt Mellema +2

We present a study of the impact of a bright quasar on the redshifted 21cm signal during the Epoch of Reionization (EoR). Using three different cosmological radiative transfer simu…

Radiative transfer of energetic photons: X-rays and helium ionization in C2-Ray

Martina M. Friedrich, Garrelt Mellema, Ilian T. Iliev +1

We present an extension to the short-characteristic ray-tracing and non-equilibrium photon-ionization code C2Ray. The new version includes the effects of helium and improved multi-…

Topology and Sizes of HII Regions during Cosmic Reionization

Martina M. Friedrich, Garrelt Mellema, Marcelo A. Alvarez +2

We use the results of large-scale simulations of reionization to explore methods for characterizing the topology and sizes of HII regions during reionization. We use four independe…
