Gamma rays from interactions of stars with AGN jets
Creators: name: Bednarek, W.

Year: 1996
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We have developed a model for gamma ray emission in jets of active galactic nuclei in which particle acceleration takes place at a shock in the relativistic jet plasma due to a massive star in the central region of the host galaxy moving through the jet. The gamma rays are produced in a pair-Compton cascade in the radiation field of the star initiated by accelerated electrons. Our model may account for the observed GeV to TeV gamma ray spectrum and variability of Markarian 421 and other blazars detected by the EGRET instrument on the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory.

description: Thermonuclear fusion reaction rates in the solar plasma are enhanced by the presence of the electron cloud that screens fusing nuclei. The present work studies the influence of electron screening deformations on solar reaction rates in the framework of the Debye-Huckel model. These electron-ion cloud deformations, assumed here to be static and axially symmetric, are shown to be able to considerably influence the solar neutrino fluxes of the pp and the CNO chains, with reasonable changes in the macroscopic parameters of the standard solar model (SSM) . Various known deformation sources are discussed but none of them is found strong enough to have a significant impact on the SSM neutrino fluxes.

A Memory Enhanced Evolutionary Algorithm for Dynamic Scheduling Problems

description: This paper describes a memory enhanced evolutionary algorithm (EA) approach to the dynamic job shop scheduling problem. Memory enhanced EAs have been widely investigated for other dynamic optimization problems with changing fitness landscapes, but only when associated with a fixed search space. In dynamic scheduling, the search space shifts as jobs are completed and new jobs arrive, so memory entries that describe specific points in the search space will become infeasible over time. The relative importances of jobs in the schedule also change over time, so previously good points become increasingly irrelevant. We describe a classifier-based memory for abstracting and storing information about schedules that can be used to build similar schedules at future times. We compared the memory enhanced EA with a standard EA and several common EA diversity techniques both with and without memory. The memory enhanced EA improved performance over the standard EA, while diversity techniques decreased performance.

description: We present the study of the relative angle between the accretion disk (or radio jet) and the galaxy disk for a sample of Seyfert galaxies selected from a mostly isotropic property, the 60$μ$m flux. For each galaxy we have a pair of points ($i$,$δ$), which are the inclination of the galaxy relative to the line of sight and the angle between the jet projected into the plane of the sky and the host galaxy major axis, respectively. This data is combined with a statistical technique to determine the distribution of $β$ angles {\it in 3 dimensions}, the angle between the jet and the host galaxy plane axis. The analysis of the data, not differentiating between Seyfert 1's and 2's, showed that the observed distribution of $i$ and $δ$ values can be well represented by a homogeneous $β-$distribution in the range $0^{\circ}\leqβ\leq90^{\circ}$. However, when we distinguished between Seyfert 1's and 2's, the models could not represent Seyfert 1's adequately. It was necessary to introduce viewing angle restrictions, that a galaxy can only be recognized as a Seyfert 1 if the angle between the jet and the line of sight ($|ϕ|$) is smaller than a given angle $ϕ_c$ and that the galaxy inclination $i$ is smaller than an angle $i_c$, in order to have statistically acceptable models. This is a direct and independent confirmation of the underlying concepts of the Unified Model. We discuss several ways to explain the misalignment between the accretion disk axis and the host galaxy disk axis.

A Measure for Objective Evaluation of Image Segmentation Algorithms

Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: 80101 Adaptive Agents and Intelligent Robotics

description: Despite significant advances in image segmentation techniques, evaluation of these techniques thus far has been largely subjective. Typically, the effectiveness of a new algorithm is demonstrated only by the presentation of a few segmented images and is otherwise left to subjective evaluation by the reader. Little effort has been spent on the design of perceptually correct measures to compare an automatic segmentation of an image to a set of hand-segmented examples of the same image. This paper demonstrates how a modification of the Rand index, the Normalized Probabilistic Rand (NPR) index, meets the requirements of largescale performance evaluation of image segmentation. We show that the measure has a clear probabilistic interpretation as the maximum likelihood estimator of an underlying Gibbs model, can be correctly normalized to account for the inherent similarity in a set of ground truth images, and can be computed efficiently for large datasets. Results are presented on images from the publicly available Berkeley Segmentation dataset.
title: The Liverpool Baby Breathing Study: A Cross-Sectional and Longitudinal Assessment of Respiratory Symptoms in the First Five Years of Life, and Their Impact on Quality of Life
Creators: name: Naylor, Conor
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2022

description: Aims: The objectives of the Liverpool Baby Breathing Study were: 1) to compare the study population, to the eligible study population; 2) to identify which characteristics were associated with an increased drop-out rate; 3) to analyse risk factors for poor respiratory health at different ages in the pre-school period; 4) to analyse risk factors for poor respiratory health throughout the entire pre-school period; and 5) to validate the Liverpool Respiratory Symptom Questionnaire for longitudinal use. Introduction: The Liverpool Baby Breathing Study was founded to assess the natural history of respiratory health in a cohort of pre-school-aged children in Liverpool. The city hosts many pre-established risk factors for paediatric respiratory disease, which makes it ideal for assessing which risk factors are most important in the development of future disease. The study also assesses the impact of respiratory symptoms on the quality of life of children and their parents, through the use of the Liverpool Respiratory Symptom Questionnaire. Methods: Between January 2013 and November 2014, newborns were recruited from the post-natal and neonatal wards of Liverpool Women’s Hospital. Over a period of five years, the infants’ parents completed biannual questionnaires about their child’s respiratory wellbeing. Questionnaires were delivered electronically, and consisted of a Liverpool Respiratory Symptom Questionnaire – as well as additional questions about the child’s exposure to potential risk factors. Data collection ran from May 2013 to January 2020. Results: The Liverpool Baby Breathing Study cohort consisted of 687 infants, which represented 5.5% of the eligible study population. Compared to the eligible study population, the study cohort was less deprived, more Caucasian, less breastfed and more premature; their mothers were older, more educated and less likely to smoke. Those who were from a deprived background, or with a less educated mother, were more likely to be lost to attrition throughout the study. Based on cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses, the most apparent risk factors for poor respiratory health during the pre-school period (i.e. more frequent respiratory symptoms) were found to be: having a co-morbidity, attending nursery, being male, having a family history of atopy, not sharing a bedroom, and having a younger mother. The Liverpool Respiratory Symptom Questionnaire displayed good to excellent internal consistency when used longitudinally. Conclusions: Not only was the Liverpool Baby Breathing Study able to further endorse well-established risk factors as important to the development of paediatric respiratory disease, but it was also able to support the importance of less-established risk factors too. The Liverpool Respiratory Symptom Questionnaire can now be used as a validated tool in future longitudinal studies of pre-school-aged children.

description: We firstly examine hadroproduction of prompt J/psi's at the Fermilab Tevatron in a Monte Carlo Framework by means of the event generator PYTHIA 5.7 in which those colour-octet matrix elements processes relevant for charmonium production have been implemented accordingly. We find that colour-octet matrix elements presented in literature from p-pbar collider data are systematically overestimated due to overlooking of the effective primordial transverse momentum of partons (i.e. including higher-order QCD effects). We estimate the size of these effects using different parton distribution functions. Finally, after normalization to Tevatron data, we extrapolate up to LHC energies making a prediction on the expected pt differential cross-section for charmonium.

Effect of Cluster Formation on Isospin Asymmetry in the Liquid-Gas Phase Transition Region

description: Nuclear matter within the liquid-gas phase transition region is investigated in a mean-field two-component Fermi-gas model. Following largely analytic considerations, it is shown that: (1) Due to density dependence of asymmetry energy, some of the neutron excess from the high-density phase could be expelled into the low-density region. (2) Formation of clusters in the gas phase tends to counteract this trend, making the gas phase more liquid-like and reducing the asymmetry in the gas phase. Flow of asymmetry between the spectator and midrapidity region in reactions is discussed and a possible inversion of the flow direction is indicated.

description: A magnetic field, through its vector potential, usually causes measurable changes in the electron wave function only in the direction transverse to the field. Here we demonstrate experimentally and theoretically that in carbon nanotube quantum dots, combining cylindrical topology and bipartite hexagonal lattice, a magnetic field along the nanotube axis impacts also the longitudinal profile of the electronic states. With the high (up to 17T) magnetic fields in our experiment the wave functions can be tuned all the way from "half-wave resonator" shape, with nodes at both ends, to "quarter-wave resonator" shape, with an antinode at one end. This in turn causes a distinct dependence of the conductance on the magnetic field. Our results demonstrate a new strategy for the control of wave functions using magnetic fields in quantum systems with nontrivial lattice and topology.

description: We present the results of broad-band B and I imaging observations for a sample of 88 Seyfert galaxies (29 Seyfert 1's and 59 Seyfert 2's), selected from a mostly isotropic property, the flux at 60$μ$m. We also present the B and I imaging results for an additional sample of 20 Seyfert galaxies (7 Seyfert 1's and 13 Seyfert 2's), selected from the literature and known to have extended radio emission. The I band images are fitted with ellipses to determine the position angle and ellipticity of the host galaxy major axis. This information will be used in a future paper, combined with information from radio observations, to study the orientation of radio jets relative to the plane of their host galaxies (Kinney et al. 2000). Here we present surface brightness profiles and magnitudes in the B and I bands, as well as mean ellipticities and major axis position angles.

Strong Gravitational Lensing and Velocity Function as Tools to Probe Cosmological Parameters: Current Constraints and Future Predictions
Creators: name: Nakamura, Takahiro T.
name: Suto, Yasushi
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1996
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: Constraints on cosmological models from strong gravitational lensing statistics are investigated. We pay particular attention to the role of the velocity function in the calculation of the lensing probability. The velocity function derived from the observed galaxy luminosity function, which is used in most previous work, is unable to predict the large separation lensing events. In this paper, we also use the Press-Schechter theory to construct a velocity function theoretically. Model predictions are compared with the observed velocity function and the HST snapshot survey. Comparison with the latter observation shows that the predictions based on the theoretical velocity function are consistent with the observed large separation events in COBE normalized low-density models, especially with a non-vanishing cosmological constant. Adopting the COBE normalization, however, we could find no model which simultaneously satisfies both the observed velocity function and the HST snapshot survey. We systematically investigate various uncertainties in the gravitational lensing statistics including finite core radius, the distance formula, magnification bias, and dust obscuration. The results are very sensitive to these effects as well as theoretical models for the velocity function, implying that current limits on the cosmological parameters should be interpreted with caution. Predictions for future surveys are also presented.

description: A method for a microscopic description of Lambda hypernuclei is formulated in the framework of the unitary-model-operator approach. A unitarily transformed hamiltonian is introduced and given in a cluster expansion form. The structure of three-body-cluster terms are discussed especially on the Lambda single-particle energy. The Lambda single-particle energies including the three-body-cluster contributions are calculated for the 0s_{1/2}, 0p_{3/2} and 0p_{1/2} states in_{Lambda}^{17}O, and for the 0s_{1/2}, 0p_{3/2}, 0p_{1/2}, 0d_{5/2}, 0d_{3/2} and 1s_{1/2} states in_{Lambda}^{41}Ca, using the Nijmegen soft-core (NSC), NSC97a-f, the Juelich A (J A) and J B hyperon-nucleon interactions. It is indicated that the three-body-cluster terms bring about sizable effects in the magnitudes of the Lambda single-particle energies, but hardly affect the Lambda spin-orbit splittings.

description: We introduce a compact structured light device that utilizes a commercially available MEMS mirror-enabled hand-held laser projector. Without complex re-engineering, we show how to exploit the projector's high-speed MEMS mirror motion and laser light-sources to suppress ambient illumination, enabling low-cost and low-power reconstruction of outdoor scenes in sunlight. We discuss how the line-striping acts as a kind of “light-probe”, creating distinctive patterns of light scattered by different types of materials. We investigate visual features that can be computed from these patterns and can reliably identify the dominant material characteristic of a scene, i.e. where most of the objects consist of either diffuse (wood), translucent (wax), reflective (metal) or transparent (glass) materials.
Models of Disk Evolution: Confrontation with Observations

Publisher: name: arXiv

description: We present simple models for disk evolution based on two different approaches: a forward approach based on predictions generic to hierarchical models for structure formation (e.g., Mo, Mao, & White 1998) and a backwards approach based on detailed modeling of the Milky Way galaxy (e.g., Bouwens, Cayon, & Silk 1997). We normalize these models to local observations and predict high-redshift luminosities, sizes, circular velocities, and surface brightnesses. Both approaches yield somewhat similar predictions for size, surface brightness, and luminosity evolution though they clearly differ in the amount of number evolution. These predictions seem to be broadly consistent with the high-redshift observations of Simard et al. (1999), suggesting that the B-band surface brightness of disks has indeed evolved by ~1.5 mag from z~0 to z~1 similar to the models and is not an artifact of selection effects as previously claimed. We also find a lack of low surface brightness galaxies in several high redshift samples relative to model predictions based on local samples (de Jong & van der Kruit 1994; Mathewson, Ford, & Buchhorn 1992).

description: I put forward an SU(2)_L x SU(2)_R x U(1) model in which spontaneously broken parity symmetry makes it that strong CP violation only arises at three-loop level. All leptons and up-type quarks are in doublets either of SU(2)_L or of SU(2)_R, but there are singlet down-type quarks. A bi-doublet of scalars is introduced which has only one component with non-vanishing expectation value, thereby avoiding W_L-W_R mixing. The scalar potential is such that scalar-pseudoscalar mixing does not occur either.

subject: Aerospace engineering not elsewhere classified

description: In this thesis, an experimental procedure for assessing unsteady fluctuations in flow velocity inside an annular low pressure turbine test facility using constant temperature anemometry is established. This procedure is then applied to two test cases in order to validate the methodology and build expertise with the measurement techniques involved. The results of these experiments appear to be reasonable and in good agreement with the body of literature documenting such cases. After the procedure is validated, the experiments in the annular test section are conducted and the results are processed according to the same methodology as previous. The results provide spatial and temporal understanding of the flow at a plane downstream of the blade row. The uncertainties of measured quantities are computed and the experimental results are contextualized with a comparison to a numerical study. The body of work is assessed to determine whether the research objective has been met and recommendations for future studies are given.

description: Recently, all 1,358,954,496 values of the gadget between the 36,864 adinkras with four colors, four bosons, and four fermions have been computed. In this paper, we further analyze these results in terms of $BC_3$, the signed permutation group of three elements, and $BC_4$, the signed permutation group of four elements. It is shown how all 36,864 adinkras can be generated via $BC_4$ boson $\times$ $BC_3$ color transformations of two quaternion adinkras that satisfy the quaternion algebra. An adinkra inner product has been used for some time, known as the \emph{gadget}, which is used to distinguish adinkras. We~show how 96 equivalence classes of adinkras that are based on the gadget emerge in terms of $BC_3$ and $BC_4$. We also comment on the importance of the gadget as it relates to separating out dynamics in terms of Kähler-like potentials. Thus, on the basis of the complete analysis of the supersymmetrical representations achieved in the preparatory first four sections, the final comprehensive achievement of this work is the construction of the universal $BC_4$ non-linear $σ$-model.

description: A good simulation environment will facilitate motion planning algorithm development for urban autonomous driving. The first requirement of such a simulator is to be able to replicate a complex urban environment, including road network, curb, general objects, etc. The second requirement is to simulate a realistic host vehicle, which includes perception, control and vehicle dynamics, to recreate imperfect inputs and non-accurate execution of the planner. The third requirement is to model traffic participants (other on-road vehicles) for microscopic traffic simulation. Intelligent-agent-based techniques are used to allow the traffic participants to interact with the environment and each other. In this paper, we present an open-source lightweight simulation environment, FastSim, which is designed to meet the three requirements above.

description: Equilibration times for nuclear matter configurations -- modelling intermediate and high energy nucleus-nucleus collisions -- are evaluated within the semiclassical off-shell transport approach developed recently. The transport equations are solved for a finite box in coordinate space employing periodic boundary conditions. The off-shell transport model is shown to give proper off-shell equilibrium distributions in the limit $t \to \infty$ for the nucleon and $Δ$-resonance spectral functions. We find that equilibration times within the off-shell approach are only slightly enhanced as compared to the on-shell limit for the momentum configurations considered.

Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University

description: Over the last century, Component Analysis (CA) methods such as Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA), Locality Preserving Projections (LPP), and Spectral Clustering (SC) have been extensively used as a feature extraction step for modeling, classification, visualization, and clustering. CA techniques are appealing because many can be formulated as eigen-problems, offering great potential for learning linear and nonlinear representations of data in closed-form. However, the eigen-formulation often conceals important analytic and computational drawbacks of CA techniques, such as solving generalized eigen-problems with rank deficient matrices (e.g., small sample size problem), lacking intuitive interpretation of normalization factors, and understanding commonalities and differences between CA methods. This paper proposes a unified least-squares framework to formulate many CA methods. We show how PCA, LDA, CCA, LPP, SC, and its kernel and regularized extensions correspond to a particular instance of least-squares weighted kernel reduced rank regression (LS--WKRRR). The LS-WKRRR formulation of CA methods has several benefits: 1) provides a clean connection between many CA techniques and an intuitive framework to understand normalization factors; 2) yields efficient numerical schemes to solve CA techniques; 3) overcomes the small sample size problem; 4) provides a framework to easily extend CA methods. We derive weighted generalizations of PCA, LDA, SC, and CCA, and several new CA techniques.

A common approach to off-the-grid deconvolution considers semidefinite (SDP) relaxations of the total variation (the total mass of the absolute value of the measure) minimization problem. The direct resolution of this SDP is however intractable for large scale settings, since the problem size grows as $f_c^{2d}$ where $f_c$ is the cutoff frequency of the filter and $d$ the ambient dimension. Our first contribution introduces a penalized formulation of this semidefinite lifting, which has low-rank solutions. Our second contribution is a conditional gradient optimization scheme with non-convex updates. This algorithm leverages both the low-rank and the convolutive structure of the problem, resulting in an $O(f_c^d \log f_c)$ complexity per iteration. Numerical simulations are promising and show that the algorithm converges in exactly $r$ steps, $r$ being the number of Diracs composing the solution.

description: Multiwavelength observations of blazars such as Mrk 421 and Mrk 501 show that they exhibit strong short time variabilities in flare-like phenomena. Based on the homogeneous synchrotron self-Compton (SSC) model and assuming that time variability of the emission is initiated by changes in the injection of nonthermal electrons, we perform detailed temporal and spectral studies of a purely cooling plasma system. One important parameter is the total injected energy E and we show how the synchrotron and Compton components respond as E varies. We discuss in detail how one could infer important physical parameters using the observed spectra. In particular, we could infer the size of the emission region by looking for exponential decay in the light curves. We could also test the basic assumption of SSC by measuring the difference in the rate of peak energy changes of synchrotron and SSC peaks. We also show that the trajectory in the photon-index and flux plane evolves clockwise or counter-clockwise depending on the value of E and observed energy bands.

description: We define and study a probability monad on the category of complete metric spaces and short maps. It assigns to each space the space of Radon probability measures on it with finite first moment, equipped with the Kantorovich-Wasserstein distance. This monad is analogous to the Giry monad on the category of Polish spaces, and it extends a construction due to van Breugel for compact and for 1-bounded complete metric spaces. We prove that this Kantorovich monad arises from a colimit construction on finite power-like constructions, which formalizes the intuition that probability measures are limits of finite samples. The proof relies on a criterion for when an ordinary left Kan extension of lax monoidal functors is a monoidal Kan extension. The colimit characterization allows the development of integration theory and the treatment of measures on spaces of measures, without measure theory. We also show that the category of algebras of the Kantorovich monad is equivalent to the category of closed convex subsets of Banach spaces with short affine maps as morphisms.

description: Accomplishing simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) in very large city environments is a great challenge because of theoretical and practical issues on computational complexity, dynamic environment, representation and data association. In this paper, we describe practical algorithms for dealing with the representation issues. Feature based, grid-based and direct methods are integrated into the framework of the hierarchical object based representation. The sampling and correlation based range image matching algorithm is developed to tackle the problem arising from uncertain, sparse and featureless data in outdoor environments. Experimental results of a 800 meter x 600 meter neighborhood demonstrate the feasibility of city-sized SLAM.
Perturbative QCD and Tau Decay

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: Sufficiently inclusive observables in the decay of the tau lepton can be calculated using the methods of perturbative QCD. These include the asymmetry parameter $A_τ$ that determines that angular distribution of the total hadron momentum in the decay of a polarized tau. It should be possible to measure $A_τ$ accurately using existing data from LEP. Reliable estimates of theoretical errors are essential in order to determine whether a given observable is sufficiently inclusive to be calculated using perturbative methods. The theoretical uncertainties due to higher orders in $α_s$ can be estimated using recent calculations to all orders in the large-$(33-2N_f)$ limit. These estimates indicate that tau decay data can be used to determine $α_s(M_Z)$ to a precision of 2% or better.

A Hierarchical Field Framework for Unified Context-Based Classification

description: We present a two-layer hierarchical formulation to exploit different levels of contextual information in images for robust classification. Each layer is modeled as a conditional field that allows one to capture arbitrary observationdependent label interactions. The proposed framework has two main advantages. First, it encodes both the short-range interactions (e.g., pixelwise label smoothing) as well as the long-range interactions (e.g., relative configurations of objects or regions) in a tractable manner. Second, the formulation is general enough to be applied to different domains ranging from pixelwise image labeling to contextual object detection. The parameters of the model are learned using a sequential maximum-likelihood approximation. The benefits of the proposed framework are demonstrated on four different datasets and comparison results are presented.

description: We introduce a new class $\mathcal{FV}(Ω,E)$ of spaces of weighted functions on a set $Ω$ with values in a locally convex Hausdorff space $E$ which covers many classical spaces of vector-valued functions like continuous, smooth, holomorphic or harmonic functions. Then we exploit the construction of $\mathcal{FV}(Ω,E)$ to derive sufficient conditions such that $\mathcal{FV}(Ω,E)$ can be linearised, i.e. that $\mathcal{FV}(Ω,E)$ is topologically isomorphic to the $\varepsilon$-product $\mathcal{FV}(Ω)\varepsilon E$ where $\mathcal{FV}(Ω):=\mathcal{FV}(Ω,\mathbb{K})$ and $\mathbb{K}$ is the scalar field of $E$.
Do Quasars Lens Quasars?

description: If the unexpectedly high frequency of quasar pairs with very different component redshifts is due to the lensing of a population of background quasars by the foreground quasar, typical lens masses must be $\sim10^{12}M_{\sun}$ and the sum of all such quasar lenses would have to contain $\sim0.005$ times the closure density of the Universe. It then seems plausible that a very high fraction of all $\sim10^{12} M_{\sun}$ gravitational lenses with redshifts $z\sim1$ contain quasars. Here I propose that these systems have evolved to form the present population of massive galaxies with M$_{\rm B}\leq-22$ and $M >5\times10^{11} M_{\sun}$.

description: We describe the new version (v1.75r) of the code HFODD which solves the nuclear Skyrme-Hartree-Fock problem by using the Cartesian deformed harmonic-oscillator basis. Three minor errors that went undetected in the previous version have been corrected. The new version contains an interface to the LAPACK subroutine ZHPEV. Several methods of terminating the Hartree-Fock iteration procedure, and an algorithm that allows to follow the diabatic configurations, have been implemented.

description: We classify all invariants of the functor $I^n$ (powers of the fundamental ideal of the Witt ring) with values in $A$, that it to say functions $I^n(K)\rightarrow A(K)$ compatible with field extensions, in the cases where $A(K)=W(K)$ is the Witt ring and $A(K)=H^*(K,μ_2)$ is mod 2 Galois cohomology. This is done in terms of some invariants $f_n^d$ that behave like divided powers with respect to sums of Pfister forms, and we show that any invariant of $I^n$ can be written uniquely as a (possibly infinite) combination of those $f_n^d$. This in particular allows to lift operations defined on mod 2 Milnor K-theory (or equivalently mod 2 Galois cohomology) to the level of $I^n$. We also study various properties of these invariants, including behaviour under products, similitudes, residues for discrete valuations, and restriction from $I^n$ to $I^{n+1}$. The goal is to use this to study invariants of algebras with involutions in future articles.

SCORCH. II. Radiation-Hydrodynamic simulations of reionization with varying radiation escape fractions

description: In the Simulations and Constructions of the Reionization of Cosmic Hydrogen (SCORCH) project, we present new radiation-hydrodynamic simulations with updated high-redshift galaxy populations and varying radiation escape fractions. The simulations are designed to have fixed Thomson optical depth $τ\approx 0.06$, consistent with recent Planck observations, and similar midpoints of reionization $7.5 \lesssim z \lesssim 8.0$, but with different ionization histories. The galaxy luminosity functions and ionizing photon production rates in our model are in good agreement with recent HST observations. Adopting a power-law form for the radiation escape fraction $f_{\text{esc}}(z) = f_8[(1+z)/9]^{a_{8}}$, we simulate the cases for $a_8 = 0$, 1, and 2 and find $a_8 \lesssim 2$ in order to end reionization in the range $5.5 \lesssim z \lesssim 6.5$ to be consistent with Lyman alpha forest observations. At fixed $τ$ and as the power-law slope $a_8$ increases, the reionization process starts earlier but ends later with a longer duration $Δz$ and the decreased redshift asymmetry $Az$. We find a range of durations $3.9 \lesssim Δz \lesssim 4.6$ that is currently in tension with the upper limit $Δz < 2.8$ inferred from a recent joint analysis of Planck and South Pole Telescope observations.
