FlexKnot as a Generalised Model of the Sky-averaged 21-cm Signal at z ~ 6-30 in the Presence of Systematics

Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | First 5 Authors: Emma Shen, Dominic Anstey, Eloy de Lera Acedo, Anastasia Fialkov, | Summary: Global 21-cm experiments are built to study the evolution of the Universe between the cosmic dawn and the epoch of reionisation. FlexKnot is a function parameterised by freely moving knots stringed together by splines. Adopting […]

JADES: Carbon enrichment 350 Myr after the Big Bang in a gas-rich galaxy

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Francesco D’Eugenio, Roberto Maiolino, Stefano Carniani, Emma Curtis-Lake, Joris Witstok | Summary: Finding the emergence of the first generation of metals in the early Universe, and identifying their origin, are some of the most important goals of modern astrophysics. We present deep JWST/NIRSpec spectroscopy of GS-z12, a […]

The galaxies missed by Hubble and ALMA: the contribution of extremely red galaxies to the cosmic census at 3<z<8

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Christina C. Williams, Stacey Alberts, Zhiyuan Ji, Kevin N. Hainline, Jianwei Lyu | Summary: Using deep JWST imaging from JADES, JEMS and SMILES, we characterize optically-faint and extremely red galaxies at $z>3$ that were previously missing from galaxy census estimates. The data indicate the existence of abundant, […]

Cosmic mysteries and the hydrogen 21-cm line: bridging the gap with lunar observations

Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | First 5 Authors: Anastasia Fialkov, Thomas Gessey-Jones, Jiten Dhandha, , | Summary: The hydrogen 21-cm signal is predicted to be the richest probe of the young Universe including eras known as the cosmic Dark Ages, the Cosmic Dawn when the first star and black hole formed, and the Epoch of […]

Identification of High-Redshift Galaxy Overdensities in GOODS-N and GOODS-S

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Jakob M. Helton, Fengwu Sun, Charity Woodrum, Kevin N. Hainline, Christopher N. A. Willmer | Summary: We conduct a systematic search for high-redshift galaxy overdensities at $4.9 < z_{,mathrm{spec}} < 8.9$ in both the GOODS-N and GOODS-S fields using JWST/NIRCam imaging from JADES and JEMS in addition […]

Galaxy quenching at the high redshift frontier: A fundamental test of cosmological models in the early universe with JWST-CEERS

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Asa F. L. Bluck, Christopher J. Conselice, Katherine Ormerod, Joanna M. Piotrowska, Nathan Adams | Summary: We present an analysis of the quenching of star formation in massive galaxies ($M_* > 10^{9.5} M_odot$) within the first 0.5 – 3 Gyr of the Universe’s history utilizing JWST-CEERS data. […]

Improved Planck constraints on axion-like early dark energy as a resolution of the Hubble tension

Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | First 5 Authors: George Efstathiou, Erik Rosenberg, Vivian Poulin, , | Summary: Axion-like early dark energy (EDE) as an extension to $Lambda$CDM has been proposed as a possible solution to the ‘Hubble tension’. We revisit this model using a new cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature and polarization likelihood constructed from […]

Constraining exotic dark matter models with the dark ages 21-cm signal

Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | First 5 Authors: Rajesh Mondal, Rennan Barkana, Anastasia Fialkov, , | Summary: The 21-cm signal from the dark ages is a powerful tool for fundamental cosmology and for probing new physics. While it can be used for precision measurements within standard cosmology, here we study two non-standard models: an excess […]
