[Astro] Lunch Talk

[Michael Anderson Jennings]

Hi Everyone,

This week's lunch talk will be given by Luke Conaboy this Thursday at 1pm in A113. The title and abstract are below:

Title: Connecting high-redshift galaxies and the intergalactic medium


Abstract: Cross-correlating the location of high-redshift galaxies with regions of Lyman a (Ly a) transmission in the intergalactic medium (IGM) is a potentially promising probe of the tail end of reionisation. Current observational constraints are limited, but ongoing JWST programs will provide new insights. Numerical modelling of this signal, however, lacks consensus. Here, I will present our work exploring the galaxy--Ly a transmission correlation in the Sherwood-Relics suite of hybrid radiation-hydrodynamical simulations. I will highlight the physical mechanisms driving the signal, and discuss avenues for future research.

Thanks,
Mikey
