The massive and bright galaxies observed by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) at high redshifts ($z > 6$) have challenged our understanding of the Universe. This may require revisiting the physics of galaxy formation and evolution, or…
A model of the density distribution in the intergalactic medium, motivated by that found in numerical simulations, is used to demonstrate the effect of a clumpy IGM and discrete sources on the reionization of the universe. In an…
The standard cosmological model, with its six independent parameters, successfully describes our observable Universe. One of these parameters, the optical depth to reionization $\tau_\mathrm{reio}$, represents the scatterings that Cosmic…
The advent of JWST has revolutionized the study of faint satellite galaxies at $z \gtrsim 1$, enabling statistical constraints on galaxy evolution and the galaxy$-$halo connection in a previously unexplored mass and redshift regime. We…
The Hubble constant problem is that the values of Hubble constant from the observation of cosmic microwave background assuming the LambdaCDM model disagrees with the values from direct measurements. This problem suggests some new physics…
Since its launch, JWST has opened an unprecedented opportunity to characterise the ionised ISM of high-redshift galaxies using well-established rest-frame UV/optical diagnostics from the local Universe. At the same time, these observations…
We present a reduction and analysis of the \textit{James Webb Space Telescope} (JWST) SMACS~0723 field using new post-launch calibrations to conduct a search for ultra-high-redshift galaxies ($z > 9$) present within the Epoch of…
We show that the earliest possible reionisation of the Universe is approximately at $z\simeq 13.5$ and the optical depth is $\tau\simeq 0.17$ in the conventionally accepted $\Lambda$ cold dark matter ($\Lambda$CDM) model with adiabatic…
$\require{mediawiki-texvc}$Cosmic Reionisation commenced when ultraviolet (UV) radiation produced in the first galaxies began illuminating the cold, neutral gas that filled the primordial Universe. Recent James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)…
While most of the inter-galactic medium (IGM) today is permeated by ionized hydrogen, it was largely filled with neutral hydrogen for the first 700 million years after the Big Bang. The process that ionized the IGM (cosmic reionization) is…
Recent results regarding dark energy are mutually inconsistent under the $\Lambda$CDM cosmological model, hinting at the possibility of undiscovered physics. However, the currently accepted cosmological parameters come from a joint…
Details of how the primordial plasma recombined and how the universe later reionized are currently somewhat uncertain. This uncertainty can restrict the accuracy of cosmological parameter measurements from the Cosmic Microwave Background…
We infer the evolution of the UV luminosities of galaxies in haloes of masses $10^{10} - 10^{11} M_{\odot}$ in the redshift range of $z \sim 9-16$ from the recent JWST data. Within the standard $\Lambda$CDM cosmological model, it is found…
Next generation telescopes such as the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope (NGRST) will enable us to study the first billion years of our Universe in unprecedented detail. In this work we use the…
We report the detection of CO($J$=2$\to$1) emission from three massive dusty starburst galaxies at $z$$>$5 through molecular line scans in the NSF's Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) CO Luminosity Density at High Redshift (COLDz)…
The earliest JWST observations have revealed an unexpected abundance of super-early ($z>10$), massive ($M_*\approx 10^9\, M_\odot$) galaxies at the bright-end ($M_{\rm UV}\approx -21$) of the ultraviolet luminosity function (UV LF). We…
The distribution of dark matter halo masses can be accurately predicted in the $\Lambda$CDM cosmology. The presence of a single massive halo or galaxy at a particular redshift, assuming some baryon and stellar fraction for the latter, can…
Recent cosmological observations indicate a $5\sigma$ discrepancy between the values of the Hubble constant $H_0$ derived from late and early universe probes. A further possible tension at the $\sim 3\sigma$ level arises from different…
We study the reionization history of the Universe in cosmological models with non-Gaussian density fluctuations, taking them to have a renormalized $\chi^2$ probability distribution function parametrized by the number of degrees of freedom,…
We investigate the constraints on the reionization history of the Universe from a joint analysis of the cosmic microwave background and neutral hydrogen fraction data. The $\tanh$ parametrization and principal component analysis methods are…
