Forecasting [C II] line-intensity mapping measurements between the end of reionization and the epoch of galaxy assembly

Abstract: We combine recent simulation work on the SFR--[C II] correlation at high redshift with empirical modeling of the galaxy--halo connection (via UniverseMachine) to forecast [C II] auto power spectra from $z\sim4$ to $z\sim8$. We compare these to sensitivities realistically expected from various instruments expected to come on-line in the next decade. If the predictions of our model are correct, [C II] should be detectable up to $z\sim6$ in this generation of surveys, but detecting [C II] past the end of reionization will require a generational leap in line-intensity survey capabilities.

Dark Matter Constraints from a Unified Analysis of Strong Gravitational Lenses and Milky Way Satellite Galaxies.

TL;DR: In this article, a multidimensional analysis of dark matter substructure using strong gravitational lenses and the Milky Way satellite galaxy population was presented, accounting for degeneracies in model predictions and using covariances in the constraining power of individual probes for the first time.
