New insight on the nature of cosmic reionizers from the CEERS survey

Michaela Hirschmann

The Epoch of Reionization (EoR) began when galaxies grew in abundance and luminosity, so their escaping Lyman continuum (LyC) radiation started ionizing the surrounding neutral intergalactic medium (IGM). Despite significant recent progress, the nature and ...

TOCOSMO VIII. A key test of systematics in the hierarchical method of time-delay cosmography

Frédéric Courbin

The largest source of systematic errors in the time-delay cosmography method likely arises from the lens model mass distribution, where an inaccurate choice of model could in principle bias the value of H-0. A Bayesian hierarchical framework has been propo ...

Does glazing color influence our perception of discomfort glare from daylight?

Sneha Jain

Spectrum and correlated colour temperature of light are shown to influence human visual comfort. Previous research conducted with electric light, mainly in the context of vehicular headlamps, have demonstrated that coloured LEDs induce more discomfort glar ...

Intraocular Lens Refractive Index and Its Impact on External Surface Reflections

Georges Wagnières

PURPOSE: To determine and compare the origin of the external surface reflections produced by commonly used intraocular lenses (IOLs). METHODS: The specular reflection taking place at the anterior surface of eight types of IOLs (IOL power = 22.00 diopters M ...
