Probing the Pre-Reionization Epoch with Molecular Hydrogen Intensity Mapping
Yan Gong, Asantha Cooray, Mario G. Santos
Molecular hydrogen is now understood to be the main coolant of the primordial gas clouds leading to the formation of the very first stars and galaxies. The line emissions associate…
Terrestrial Planets Formation around Circumbinary Habitable Zone: Inward Migration in the Planetesimal Swarm
Yan-Xiang Gong, Ji-Lin Zhou, Ji-Wei Xie
According to the core accretion theory, circumbinary embryos can form only beyond a critical semimajor axis (CSMA). However, due to the relatively high density of solid materials i…
The silicate model and carbon rich model of CoRoT-7b, Kepler-9d and Kepler-10b
Yan-Xiang Gong, Ji-Lin Zhou
Possible bulk compositions of the super-Earth exoplanets, CoRoT-7b, Kepler-9d, and Kepler-10b are investigated by applying a commonly used silicate and a non-standard carbon model.…
The Near-IR Background Intensity and Anisotropies During The Epoch of Reionization
Asantha Cooray, Yan Gong, Joseph Smidt +1
A fraction of the extragalactic near-infrared (near-IR) background light involves redshifted photons from the ultraviolet (UV) emission from galaxies present during reionization at…
Intensity Mapping of Lyman-alpha Emission During the Epoch of Reionization
Marta B. Silva, Mario G. Santos, Yan Gong +2
We calculate the absolute intensity and anisotropies of the Lyman-alpha radiation field present during the epoch of reionization. We consider emission from both galaxies and the in…
