Cosmological Reionization by Stellar Sources
I use cosmological simulations that incorporate a physically motivated approximation to three-dimensional radiative transfer that recovers correct asymptotic ionization front propagation speeds for some cosmologically relevant density distributions to investigate the process of the reionization of the universe by ionizing radiation from proto-galaxies. Reionization proceeds in three stages and ...
متن کاملCosmological Reionization
In popular cosmological scenarios, some time beyond a redshift of 10, stars within protogalaxies created the first heavy elements; these systems, together perhaps with an early population of quasars, generated the ultraviolet radiation and mechanical energy that reheated and reionized the cosmos. The history of the Universe during and soon after these crucial formative stages is recorded in the...
متن کاملStar Formation in a Cosmological Simulation of Reionization
We study the luminosity functions of high-redshift galaxies in detailed hydrodynamic simulations of cosmic reionization, which are designed to reproduce the evolution of the Lyman-α forest between z ∼ 5 and z ∼ 6. We find that the luminosity functions and total stellar mass densities are in agreement with observations when plausible assumptions about reddenning at z ∼ 6 are made. Our simulation...
متن کاملNonlinear Cosmological Structure Formation
I present a general discussion of the evolution and model-dependence of both the linear and nonlinear power spectrum of density fluctuations. The features of the linear power spectrum in cosmological models with cold dark matter (CDM) and cold+hot dark matter (C+HDM) are reviewed, and useful analytical approximations are summarized. Cosmological numerical simulation results are then used to ill...
متن کاملReionization and Structure Formation with ARCADE
Structure formation in the early universe is expected to produce a cosmological background of free-free emission. The Absolute Radiometer for Cosmology, Astrophysics, and Diffuse Emission (ARCADE) will measure the spectrum of the cosmic microwave background at centimeter wavelengths to detect this signature of structure formation. I describe the ARCADE instrument and the cryogenic engineering r...
