I show that the Reduced Speed of Light (RSL) approximation, when used properly (i.e. as originally designed - only for the local sources but not for the cosmic background), remains a highly accurate numerical method for modeling cosmic…

A reduced-speed-of-light (RSOL) approximation is a useful technique for magnetohydrodynamic (MHD)-particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations. With a RSOL, some "in-code" speed-of-light $\tilde{c}$ is set to much lower values than the true $c$,…
Many astrophysical phenomena exhibit relativistic radiative flows. While velocities in excess of $v \sim 0.1c$ can occur in these systems, it has been common practice to approximate radiative transfer to $\cO(v/c)$. In the case of neutrino…
The excursion set reionization framework is widely used, due to its speed and accuracy in reproducing the 3D topology of reionization. However, it is known that it does not conserve photon number. Here, we introduce an efficient, on-the-fly…

Most image super-resolution (SR) methods are developed on synthetic low-resolution (LR) and high-resolution (HR) image pairs that are constructed by a predetermined operation, e.g., bicubic downsampling. As existing methods typically learn…
