abstract
The epochs of cosmic dawn and reionisation present promising avenues for understanding the role of dark matter (DM) in our cosmos. The first galaxies that populated the Universe during these eras resided in DM halos that were much less massive than their counterparts today. Consequently, observations of such galaxies can provide us with a handle on the clustering of DM in an otherwise currently inaccessible regime. In this work, we use high-redshift UV galaxy luminosity-function (UV LF) data from the Hubble Space Telescope to study the clustering properties of DM at small scales. In particular, we present new measurements of the matter power spectrum at wavenumbers $0.5\,\mathrm{Mpc}^{-1} < k < 10\,\mathrm{Mpc}^{-1}$ to roughly 30% precision, obtained after marginalising over the unknown astrophysics. These new data points cover the uncharted redshift range $4\leq z\leq 10$ and encompass scales beyond those probed by Cosmic-Microwave-Background and large-scale-structure observations. This work establishes the UV LF as a powerful tool to probe the nature of DM in a different regime than other cosmological and astrophysical data sets.

When galaxies burst II. Implications of enhanced burstiness for the 21-cm Cosmic Dawn signal
Bursty star formation adds a shot-noise-like term to the Cosmic Dawn 21-cm power spectrum, boosting it by factors of a few at the Wouthuysen-Field trough and strongly on small scales at high redshift.

Free streaming of warm wave dark matter in modified expansion histories
Warm wave dark matter free streaming can shift by up to roughly 40% in a very early dark energy cosmology, while early matter domination moves the signal to unobservably small scales.

Large-Scale Structure Probes of the Post-Inflationary Axiverse
HST ultraviolet luminosity function data at z=4-10, combined with Lyman-α and CMB data, place leading constraints on subdominant post-inflationary axion dark matter via its white-noise isocurvature perturbations.

Probing Long-Range Forces Between Neutrinos with Cosmic Structures
Neutrino long-range forces stronger than gravity would make the cosmic neutrino background collapse into bound states, and existing matter power spectrum and reionization data now exclude a band of couplings for force...
