Contributions to cosmic reionization from dark matter annihilation and decay (2016, background): “Neutral helium became reionized at a similar time compared to hydrogen due to their relatively similar ionization energies, but a harder spectrum of ionizing radiation is required to doubly-ionize neutral helium atoms [27,28].”
ELECTROMAGNETIC COUNTERPARTS TO BLACK HOLE MERGERS DETECTED BY LIGO (2016, unknown): “Very massive stars of mass M⋆ & 100M⊙ are dominated by radiation pressure and hence their luminosity is close to the Eddington limit (Bond, Arnett & Carr 1984; Bromm, Kudritzki & Loeb 2001; Loeb & Furlanetto 2013), LE = 1.3× 1040 × ( M⋆ 100M⊙ ) erg s−1.”
21CMMC: an MCMC analysis tool enabling astrophysical parameter studies of the cosmic 21 cm signal (2015, background): “The EoR is rich in astrophysical information, probing the formation and evolution of structure in the Universe, the nature of the first stars and galaxies and their impact on the IGM (see e.g. Barkana & Loeb 2007; Loeb & Furlanetto 2013; Zaroubi 2013).”
WHAT NEXT-GENERATION 21 cm POWER SPECTRUM MEASUREMENTS CAN TEACH US ABOUT THE EPOCH OF REIONIZATION (2013, background): “Observationally, the redshift of EoR is roughly constrained to be between z ∼ 6–13, with a likely extended duration; see Furlanetto et al. (2006b), Barkana & Loeb (2007), and Loeb & Furlanetto (2013) for reviews of the field.”
COSMIC REIONIZATION AND EARLY STAR-FORMING GALAXIES: A JOINT ANALYSIS OF NEW CONSTRAINTS FROM PLANCK AND THE HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE (2015, background): “…University of California, Los Angeles CA 90095 4 Institute for Astronomy, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh EH9 3HJ, UK of their abundance over 8 < z < 10 from Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Ultra Deep Field (UDF) observations (Beckwith et al. 2006; Koekemoer et al. 2013; Illingworth et al. 2013).”
FIRST SEASON MWA EOR POWER SPECTRUM RESULTS AT REDSHIFT 7 (2016, methodology): “(For reviews, see Furlanetto et al. 2006, Morales & Wyithe 2010, Zaroubi 2013, Loeb & Furlanetto 2013, and Pritchard & Loeb 2012) The first generation of instruments with primary science goals to detect the highly redshift 21cm signal have been built, including the GMRT (Giant Metrewave Radio…”
