RESEARCH DATA PRODUCTS

A couple of my research projects warranted their own dedicated pages owing to either the usefulness of the data or the sheer volume of figures which are not suitable for journal publications. Below you can find links to the various pages.

Blind QSO challenge

A blind reconstruction of the Lyα emission line of QSOs for two distinct samples of 30 QSOs from X-Shooter and SDSS (BOSS). A qualitative and quantitative analysis of the reconstruction performance compared to the actual known emission line for all known QSO reconstruction methodologies in the literature.

Details about the two data-sets along with figures summarising the reconstruction for each of the 60 QSOs can be found on the blind QSO challenge page.

Large volume reionisation simulations

Validation testing of end-to-end analysis pipelines require simulations of the cosmic signal larger than the field-of-view of the radio interferometer. This can be computationally intensive bordering on infeasible for those instruments that see a significant fraction of the sky at any one time.

Using a simplified version of 21cmFAST I generated an 7.5 Gigaparsec on a side simulation spanning two distinct redshift ranges: (i) 6.2 < z < 7.6 (492 Megaparsec deep) and (ii) 7.5 < z < 10.2 (700 Megaparsec deep). Information for accessing this data, along with other supplementary data can be located on the large volume data page.
