We show herein that the population of star-forming galaxies in the Bremer Deep Field (BDF) has enough ionizing power to form two large ionized bubbles that could be in the process of merging into a large one with a volume of 14 000 cMpc3. The sources identified in the BDF have been completed with a set of expected low-luminosity sources at z ∼ 7. We have estimated the number of ionizing photons per second produced by the different star-forming galaxies in the BDF. This number has been compared with the number that would be required to ionize the bubbles around the two overdense regions. We have used, as reference, ionizing emissivities derived from the AMIGA (Analytic Model of Intergalactic-medium and Galaxies) cosmological evolutionary model. We find that even using the most conservative estimates, with a Lyman continuum escape fraction of 10 per cent⁠, the two regions we have defined within the BDF would be reionized. Assuming more realistic estimates of the ionizing photon production efficiency, both bubbles would be in the process of merging into a large reionized bubble, such as those that through percolation completed the reionization of the Universe by z = 6. The rather small values of the escape fraction required to reionize the BDF are compatible with the low fraction of faint Ly α emitters identified in the BDF. Finally, we confirm that the low-luminosity sources represent indeed the main contributors to the BDF ionizing photon production.

The epoch corresponding to a redshift of z ∼ 6.5 is close to full re-ionization of the Universe, and early enough to provide an intriguing environment to observe the early stage of large-scale structure formation. It is also an epoch that can be used to verify the abundance of a large population of low luminosity star-forming galaxies that are deemed responsible for cosmic re-ionization. Here, we present the results of follow-up multi-object spectroscopy using OSIRIS at Gran Telescopio Canarias of 16 Ly α emitter (LAE) candidates discovered in the Subaru/XMM Newton Deep Survey. We have securely confirmed 10 LAEs with sufficient signal-to-noise ratio of the Ly α emission line. The inferred star formation rates of the confirmed LAEs are on the low side, within the range 0.9–4.7 M⊙ yr−1. However, they show relatively high Ly α rest frame equivalent widths. Finally we have shown that the mechanical energy released by the star formation episodes in these galaxies is enough to create holes in the neutral hydrogen medium such that Lyman continuum photons can escape to the intergalactic medium, thus contributing to the re-ionization of the Universe.

The Athena X-ray Integral Unit (X-IFU) is the high resolution X-ray spectrometer, studied since 2015 for flying in the mid-30s on the Athena space X-ray Observatory, a versatile observatory designed to address the Hot and Energetic Universe science theme, selected in November 2013 by the Survey Science Committee. Based on a large format array of Transition Edge Sensors (TES), it aims to provide spatially resolved X-ray spectroscopy, with a spectral resolution of 2.5 eV (up to 7 keV) over an hexagonal field of view of 5 arc minutes (equivalent diameter). The X-IFU entered its System Requirement Review (SRR) in June 2022, at about the same time when ESA called for an overall X-IFU redesign (including the X-IFU cryostat and the cooling chain), due to an unanticipated cost overrun of Athena. In this paper, after illustrating the breakthrough capabilities of the X-IFU, we describe the instrument as presented at its SRR, browsing through all the subsystems and associated requirements. We then show the instrument budgets, with a particular emphasis on the anticipated budgets of some of its key performance parameters. Finally we briefly discuss on the ongoing key technology demonstration activities, the calibration and the activities foreseen in the X-IFU Instrument Science Center, and touch on communication and outreach activities, the consortium organisation, and finally on the life cycle assessment of X-IFU aiming at minimising the environmental footprint, associated with the development of the instrument. Thanks to the studies conducted so far on X-IFU, it is expected that along the design-to-cost exercise requested by ESA, the X-IFU will maintain flagship capabilities in spatially resolved high resolution X-ray spectroscopy, enabling most of the original X-IFU related scientific objectives of the Athena mission to be retained.

Si hacemos una búsqueda en la web de REMS+Marte conseguimos cerca de 4 millones de coincidencias. Lo que quiere decir que nuestro proyecto ha tenido un razonable impacto en la sociedad. Aunque, por supuesto muy por debajo de REM, el grupo musical, del que el buscador nos da más de 155 millones de resultados. REMS ha supuesto para el Centro de Astrobiología (CAB) situarse en la élite de la exploración planetaria. El poder participar en la más ambiciosa de las misiones enviadas hasta el día de hoy a Marte, ha sido realmente un reto para los investigadores del Centro. Cuando en 2004, al poco de instalarse los laboratorios del CAB en su sede actual, comenzó el proyecto, desconocíamos los retos a los que íbamos a tener que enfrentarnos. Nos adentramos en un camino por el que no todo el equipo había caminado antes. Lo que sí sabíamos era que estábamos completamente decididos a hacerlo. Hoy en día, la perspectiva es totalmente distinta. Se ha conseguido formar un equipo de científicos e ingenieros que caminan juntos, con una relación muy estrecha con la industria y con una experiencia ganada que, seguro, nos permitirá afrontar los siguientes retos de una forma mucho más sólida. El segundo número de Zoé se ha querido dedicar íntegramente a REMS, en respuesta al interés que ha despertado tanto fuera como dentro del Centro. En sus páginas se muestra el enorme trabajo realizado hasta el momento del lanzamiento: la ciencia que se quiere hacer, cómo es su diseño, y cómo nos estamos preparando para el momento del aterrizaje y el comienzo de los dos apasionantes años que nos esperan explorando Marte. Tenemos que seguir haciendo un esfuerzo de divulgación de la ciencia y la tecnología, para conseguir que cada vez la distancia entre los proyectos de ciencia y los grupos musicales se vaya reduciendo. Este número de Zoé es un nuevo esfuerzo en esta dirección. Javier Gómez-Elvira – Director del Centro de Astrobiología (CSIC-INTA) e Investigador Principal de REMS
