TORRCH: Tomographic reconstruction of the reionization of cosmic hydrogen with Ly emitters and non-Ly-selected galaxies

Soumak Maitra, Girish Kulkarni, Vipul Arora +5

Tomographic reconstruction of reionization is a long-sought goal. It would move the field beyond global summary statistics, such as the volume-averaged ionised fraction, to direct,…

The Lyman- emitter bispectrum as a probe of reionization morphology

Soumak Maitra, Girish Kulkarni, Shikhar Asthana +3

Ly emitters (LAEs) have now been discovered out to redshift , and are valuable probes of the reionization history at redshifts beyond the reach of other currently availab…

The impact of faint AGN discovered by JWST on reionization

Shikhar Asthana, Martin G. Haehnelt, Girish Kulkarni +4

The relative contribution of emission from stellar sources and accretion onto supermassive black holes to reionization has been brought into focus again by the apparent high abunda…

The ionizing photon budget and effective clumping factor in radiative transfer simulations calibrated to Lyman-alpha forest data

Shikhar Asthana, Girish Kulkarni, Martin G. Haehnelt +3

Recent JWST observations have allowed for the first time to obtain comprehensive measurements of the ionizing photon production efficiency for a wide range of reio…

Late-end reionization with ATON-HE: towards constraints from Lyman- emitters observed with JWST

Shikhar Asthana, Martin G. Haehnelt, Girish Kulkarni +3

We present a new suite of late-end reionization simulations performed with ATON-HE, a revised version of the GPU-based radiative transfer code ATON that includes helium. The simula…
