Measuring the topology of reionization with Betti numbers

SK Giri, G Mellema - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical …, 2021 - academic.oup.com
The distribution of ionized hydrogen during the epoch of reionization (EoR) has a complex
morphology. We propose to measure the 3D topology of ionized regions using the Betti …
