Extreme z>3 emission-line ratios are reproduced only by combining harder ionizing spectra, ionization parameters from massive star clusters, and enhanced nitrogen abundances.
A six-parameter function of peak height ν, power spectrum slope n_eff, and growth rate α_eff accurately describes median halo mass accretion rates from simulations in ΛCDM and Einstein-de Sitter cosmologies at z=0-14.
Empirical three-parameter fit to f_esc(M_h,z) yields steep redshift evolution with population-averaged escape fraction rising from ~2% at z=5 to ~9% at z=12.
ASTERIS, a self-supervised spatiotemporal denoising algorithm, improves astronomical detection limits by 1 magnitude at 90% completeness while identifying three times more redshift >9 galaxy candidates in JWST images.
Bursty stellar feedback produces systematically flatter metallicity gradients than smooth feedback in high-redshift galaxies across multiple simulation suites.
Empirical halo-to-[O III] emitter modeling with realistic JWST survey mocks produces cross-correlations consistent with z~6 data within large scatter, but with a ~10 cMpc offset in the 1D peak.
BonFIRE and CampFIRE simulations show bursty clustered star formation in early galaxies and predict UV luminosity functions matching observations at faint magnitudes with a turnover at M_UV approx -14 but overpredicting brighter galaxies.
TNG100 and EAGLE hydrodynamical simulations underproduce faint compact galaxies at z>3 relative to CANDELS observations even after forward modeling and completeness corrections, with the mismatch linked to both detection effects and simulation physics.
Simulations show recombination-weighted clumping is systematically lower than density-based measures, density-only prescriptions overpredict rates by 1.29-1.84 depending on redshift, and a new phase-space clumping factor isolates thermal and ionization effects at fixed density.
Using JWST UV luminosity functions, the surface density of galaxy-driven ionized bubbles with radius ≥2.5 cMpc at z≈13 is estimated at 1.33×10^{-2} arcmin^{-2} per Δz=1 in a fiducial model with f_esc=0.2 and log ξ_ion=25.5.
A mission-proposal science book forecasting observational yields for a proposed JAXA 2–18 µm infrared space telescope; no new measurement or derivation is presented.
Renaissance Simulations produce galaxies at z>10 whose stellar masses, star formation rates, sizes, and colors overlap with JWST observations while extending to lower masses.
The Lumina simulation shows that explicit light-cone integrations produce a CMB optical depth 7% higher than volume-weighted ionization histories, with the excess accumulating near redshift 8 and mass-weighted estimates capturing most of the difference.
Simulations of high-redshift galaxies show the 1719 Å UV index reliably traces stellar metallicity while others are more sensitive to star formation history.
Simulations show that bursty supernova feedback produces fewer bright [OIII] emitters by z=5 than smooth feedback due to less effective metal enrichment, while [OIII] traces shock-heated and radiatively ionized gas.
A review chapter on tools for inferring galaxy and IGM properties from the 21 cm signal using the initial SKA-Low array configuration.
An overview summarizing SKA-Low 21cm experiments for power spectrum, tomography, 21-cm forest, and cross-correlations, plus critical telescope features, building on the 2015 SKA Science Book.
