Abstract The mean free path of ionizing photons, λ mfp , is a critical parameter for modeling the intergalactic medium (IGM) both during and after reionization. We present direct measurements from QSO spectra over redshift range 5 < z 6, including first at ≃ 5.3 5.6. Our sample includes data XQR-30 VLT large program, as well new Keck/ESI observations QSOs near ∼ 5.5, which we also acquire [C ii ] 158 μ m redshifts with ALMA. By measuring Lyman continuum transmission profile in stacked...

Abstract A direct approach to studying the galaxy-halo connection is analyze groups and clusters of galaxies that trace underlying dark matter halos, emphasizing importance identifying galaxy their associated brightest cluster (BCGs). In this work, we test propose a robust density-based clustering algorithm outperforms traditional Friends-of-Friends (FoF) in currently available group/cluster catalogs. Our new modified version Ordering Points To Identify Clustering Structure (OPTICS)...

Aiming at discriminating different gravitational potential models of the Milky Way, we perform tests based on kinematic data powered by Gaia DR2 astrometry, over a large range $(R,z)$ locations. Invoking complete form Jeans equations that admit three integrals motion, use independent $R$- and $z$-directional as two discriminators ($T_R$ $T_z$). We apply formula for spatial distributions radial vertical velocity dispersions proposed Binney et al., successfully extend it to azimuthal...

A direct approach to studying the galaxy-halo connection is analysis of observed groups and clusters galaxies that trace underlying dark matter halos, making identifying galaxy their associated brightest cluster (BCGs) crucial. We test propose a robust density-based clustering algorithm outperforms traditional Friends-of-Friends (FoF) in currently available group/cluster catalogs. Our new modified version Ordering Points To Identify Clustering Structure (OPTICS) algorithm, which accounts for...

We report the discovery of a unique quasar-dusty star-forming galaxy (DSFG) system at $z = 5.63$, consisting bright quasar J1133+1603 ($M_{\rm UV} -27.42$) and its compact, dust-obscured companion, J1133c. ALMA observations reveal prominent [C II] bridge connecting DSFG, indicating ongoing interaction projected separation 1.8 arcsec ($\sim$10 proper kpc). J1133c exhibits unusually broad emission ($L_{\rm [CII]} > 10^{43}$ erg s$^{-1}$, FWHM $> 500$ km s$^{-1}$), with luminosity five times...
