Extracting cosmological information from the abundance of galaxy clusters with simulation-based inference

Kavli Affiliate: Anthony Challinor | First 5 Authors: Íñigo Zubeldia, Boris Bolliet, Anthony Challinor, William Handley, | Summary: The abundance of galaxy clusters as a function of mass and redshift is a well-established and powerful cosmological probe. Cosmological analyses based on galaxy cluster number counts have traditionally relied on explicitly computed likelihoods, which are often […]

In-situ vs. ex-situ drivers of galaxy quenching: ubiquity of main sequence and critical black hole mass from the FLAMINGO simulation

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Seunghwan Lim, Sandro Tacchella, Roberto Maiolino, Joop Schaye, Matthieu Schaller | Summary: Exploiting a large sample of 5.3 million galaxies with $M_ast,{=},10^{10-11},{rm M}_odot$ from the highest-resolution FLAMINGO simulation, we carry out a statistical analysis of quiescent and star-forming galaxies to explore quenching mechanisms. From redshift $z,{simeq},7$ to […]

Effects of chemically homogeneous evolution of the first stars on the 21-cm signal and reionization

Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | First 5 Authors: Boyuan Liu, Daniel Kessler, Thomas Gessey-Jones, Jiten Dhandha, Anastasia Fialkov | Summary: The first generation of stars, known as Population III (Pop III), played a crucial role in the early Universe through their unique formation environment and metal-free composition. These stars can undergo chemically homogeneous evolution (CHE) […]
