Chasing the Beginning of Reionization in the JWST Era by Christopher Cain, Garett Lopez, Anson D’Aloisio, Julian B. Muñoz, Rolf A. Jansen, Rogier A. Windhorst, Nakul Gangolli

“…We find that the latter requires up to an order-of-magnitude evolution in galaxy ionizing properties at 6 <  z  < 12, perhaps in tension with measurements of ξ _ion by JWST, which indicate little evolution. We study how these models compare to recent measurements of the Ly α forest opacity, mean free path, intergalactic medium thermal history, visibility of z  > 8 Ly α emitters, and the patchy kSZ signal from the cosmic microwave background (CMB). …”
