This brief code paper presents a new Python-wrapped version of the popular 21cm cosmology simulator, 21cmFAST. The new version, v3+, maintains the same core functionality of previous versions of 21cmFAST, but features a simple and intuitive interface, and a great deal more flexibility. This evolution represents the work of a formalized collaboration, and the new version, available publicly on GitHub, provides a single point-of-reference for all future upgrades and community-added features. In this paper, we describe simple usage of 21cmFAST, some of its new features, and provide a simple performance benchmark.

  1. When galaxies burst II. Implications of enhanced burstiness for the 21-cm Cosmic Dawn signal

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    Bursty star formation adds a shot-noise-like term to the Cosmic Dawn 21-cm power spectrum, boosting it by factors of a few at the Wouthuysen-Field trough and strongly on small scales at high redshift.

  2. Into the Gompverse: A robust Gompertzian reionization model for CMB analyses

    astro-ph.CO 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A Gompertzian reionization model with three nuisance parameters demotes optical depth to a derived quantity, reducing its uncertainty by a factor of three and revealing potential neutrino mass tension in CMB analyses.

  3. Mitigating residual foregrounds and systematic errors in SKA1-Low AA* EoR observations via Bayesian Gaussian Process Regression

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Bayesian GPR recovers the 21cm signal within 2σ credible intervals for most k-modes (0.06 to 1.0 h/Mpc) in SKA1-Low simulations that include realistic residual foregrounds and systematics.

  4. Cosmological constraints on TeV-scale dark matter subcomponents decaying between recombination and reionisation

    astro-ph.CO 2026-04 conditional novelty 5.0

    Future 21-cm observations may constrain TeV-scale decaying dark matter subcomponents more tightly than CMB data for lifetimes above 10^15 s, with strongest sensitivity for neutrino decay channels due to differences in...

  5. Machine Learning and the SKA for Cosmic Dawn and the Epoch of Reionization

    astro-ph.IM 2026-07 accept novelty 2.5

    A multi-author overview of machine-learning algorithms proposed for instrument modelling, data analysis, simulation and inference in SKA Cosmic Dawn and Epoch of Reionization science.
