High-Redshift Cosmology in the JWST Era: ΛCDM Tension, Early Massive Galaxies, and the 21 cm Frontier
Abstract: Tracing the Universe’s Origins High-redshift cosmology (z≳6), spanning the Cosmic Dawn and the Epoch of Reionization (EoR), currently stands as the central frontier of astrophysics. This review synthesizes recent findings, particularly those enabled by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), against the backdrop of the standard ΛCDM cosmological model. JWST has fundamentally altered the…

A Decade of Discovery: A Literature Review on the IBEX Ribbon and its Implications for the Heliosphere
Over a decade ago, a small NASA satellite, the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX), made a revolutionary discovery that fundamentally changed our understanding of the heliosphere, the protective bubble of solar wind that envelops our solar system. Rather than the smooth, predictable boundary scientists had modeled for years, IBEX’s first all-sky map revealed a startling and…

A Comprehensive Literature Review of the NASA Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) Mission
Objectives, Instrumentation, and Contributions to Heliophysics The heliosphere, the colossal magnetic bubble created by the Sun’s constant solar wind, acts as our solar system’s first and most critical line of defense, deflecting the majority of harmful galactic cosmic radiation. Despite decades of exploration, from the pioneering, single-point measurements of the Voyager missions to the groundbreaking…
