We show herein that the population of star-forming galaxies in the Bremer Deep Field (BDF) has enough ionizing power to form two large ionized bubbles that...
JWST Constraints on the UV Luminosity Density at Cosmic Dawn: Implications for 21 cm Cosmology
An unprecedented array of new observational capabilities are starting to yield key constraints on models of the epoch of first light in the Universe. In this...
Large Scale Absorbers in the Environment of High-z Radio-Galaxies
We discuss a number of interesting questions that arise from studies of extended absorbers observed in high redshift radio-galaxies. We propose to carry out 2-D...
Let there be light: galaxy formation for the novice
The origin of the galaxies represents an important focus of current cosmological research, both observational and theoretical. Its resolution involves a...
Lines in the cosmic microwave background spectrum from the epoch of cosmological helium recombination
The main goal of this work is to calculate the contributions of bound-bound transitions of helium to the cosmological recombination spectrum. We show that...
Lines in the cosmic microwave background spectrum from the epoch of cosmological hydrogen recombination
We compute the spectral distortions of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) arising during the epoch of cosmological hydrogen recombination within the standard...
Looking for the traces of the early Universe in the Fornax dSph galaxy
We present the full Star Formation History as a function of radius of the Fornax dSph galaxy. We also present the preliminary results of the spatial...
Low deuterium abundance in the z_abs=3.514 absorber towards APM 08279+5255
{A high-resolution, high signal-to-noise HIRES-Keck spectrum of APM 08279+5255 reveals a feature in the HI Lyalpha profile of the z_abs=3.514 absorber at the...
Cosmological and astrophysical e xperimental data demark a large share of the limits of our knowledge in fundamental physics. I'll review two pieces of evidence...
