Assessing the sources of reionisation: a spectroscopic case study of a 30$times$ lensed galaxy at $z sim 5$ with Lyα, CIV, MgII, and [NeIII]

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Joris Witstok, Renske Smit, Roberto Maiolino, Mirko Curti, Nicolas Laporte | Summary: We present a detailed spectroscopic analysis of a galaxy at $z simeq 4.88$ that is, by chance, magnified $sim 30 times$ by gravitational lensing. Only three sources at $z gtrsim 5$ are known with such […]

The extension of the Fundamental Metallicity Relation beyond the BPT star-forming sequence: evidence for both gas accretion and starvation

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Nimisha Kumari, Roberto Maiolino, James Trussler, Filippo Mannucci, Giovanni Cresci | Summary: The fundamental metallicity relation (FMR) of galaxies is a 3D relation between the gas-phase metallicity, stellar mass and star-formation rate (SFR). It has been studied so far only for galaxies identified as star-forming (SF) on […]

Malaise and remedy of binary boson-star initial data

Kavli Affiliate: Ulrich Sperhake | First 5 Authors: Thomas Helfer, Ulrich Sperhake, Robin Croft, Miren Radia, Bo-Xuan Ge | Summary: Through numerical simulations of boson-star head-on collisions, we explore the quality of binary initial data obtained from the superposition of single-star spacetimes. Our results demonstrate that evolutions starting from a plain superposition of individual boosted […]

HERA Phase I Limits on the Cosmic 21-cm Signal: Constraints on Astrophysics and Cosmology During the Epoch of Reionization

Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | First 5 Authors: The HERA Collaboration, Zara Abdurashidova, James E. Aguirre, Paul Alexander, Zaki Ali | Summary: Recently, the Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array (HERA) collaboration has produced the experiment’s first upper limits on the power spectrum of 21-cm fluctuations at z~8 and 10. Here, we use several independent theoretical […]

Optimal multifrequency weighting for CMB lensing

Kavli Affiliate: Blake Sherwin | First 5 Authors: Noah Sailer, Emmanuel Schaan, Simone Ferraro, Omar Darwish, Blake Sherwin | Summary: Extragalactic foregrounds in Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) temperature maps lead to significant biases in CMB lensing reconstruction if not properly accounted for. Combinations of multi-frequency data have been used to minimize the overall map variance […]

What it Takes to Measure Reionization with Fast Radio Bursts

Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | First 5 Authors: Stefan Heimersheim, Nina S. Sartorio, Anastasia Fialkov, Duncan R. Lorimer, | Summary: Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are recently-discovered extra-galactic radio transients which exhibit a distance-dependent dispersion of their signal, and thus can be used as cosmological probes. In this article we, for the first time, apply a […]

21cmVAE: A VAE-based Emulator of the 21-cm Global Signal

Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | First 5 Authors: Christian Hellum Bye, Stephen K. N. Portillo, Anastasia Fialkov, , | Summary: Considerable observational efforts are being dedicated to measuring the sky-averaged (global) 21-cm signal of neutral hydrogen from Cosmic Dawn and the Epoch of Reionization. Deriving observational constraints on the astrophysics of this era requires modelling […]
