The Impact of Galaxy Formation on the Diffuse Background Radiation
The far infrared background is a sink for the hidden aspects of galaxy formation. At optical wavelengths, ellipticals and spheroids are old, even at z ∼ 1. Neither the luminous formation phase nor their early evolution is seen in the visible. We infer that ellipticals and, more generally, most spheroids must have formed in dust-shrouded starbursts. In this article, we show how separate tracking...
متن کاملCosmic Structure Formation and the Background Radiation
I describe our post-COBE theories for how structure developed in the Universe, from the ultra-large scales beyond that httle bit of the Universe accessible to our observations to ‘short-distance’ scales where gaa dynamicrd processes will have been m importmt m gravity in shaping the high redshift objects that formed. In between lie the very large scales whose gravitationrd potential fluctuation...
متن کاملBackground radiation, people and the environment
All living organisms are exposed to ionizing radiation comprising cosmic rays coming from outer space, terrestrial nuclides occurring in the earth’s crust, building materials, air, water and foods and in the human body itself. The exposures are constant and uniform for all individuals everywhere including the dose from ingestion of 40K in food. Cosmic rays are, more intense at higher alt...
متن کاملUltraviolet Background Radiation from Cosmic Structure Formation
We calculate the contribution to the ultraviolet background (UVB) from thermal emission from gas shock heated by cosmic structure formation. Our main calculation is based on an updated version of Press-Schechter theory. It is consistent with a more empirical estimate based on the observed properties of galaxies and the observed cosmic star formation history. Thermal UVB emission is characterize...
متن کاملThe Effects of the Ionizing Radiation Background on Galaxy Evolution
We find that the amount and nature of the assumed ionizing background can strongly affect galaxy formation and evolution. Galaxy evolution simulations typically incorporate an ultraviolet background which falls off rapidly above z = 3; e.g., that of Haardt & Madau (1996). However, this decline may be too steep to fit the WMAP constraints on electron scattering optical depth or observations of i...
