HERA bound on x-ray luminosity when accounting for population III stars

H Lazare, D Sarkar, ED Kovetz - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
Recent upper bounds from the Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array on the cosmological
21-cm power spectrum at redshifts z≈ 8, 10, have been used to constrain LX< 2 keV/SFR …

The effects of population III radiation backgrounds on the cosmological 21-cm signal

RH Mebane, J Mirocha… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2020 - academic.oup.com
We investigate the effects of Population III (Pop III) stars and their remnants on the
