Reionization: Characteristic Scales, Topology and Observability
Recently the numerical simulations of the process of reionization of the universe at z > 6 have made a qualitative leap forward, reaching sufficient sizes and dynamic range to determine the characteristic scales of this process. This allowed making the first realistic predictions for a variety of observational signatures. We discuss recent results from large-scale radiative transfer and structu...
متن کاملCharacteristic Scales in Galaxy Formation
Recent data, e.g. from SDSS and 2dF, reveal a robust bi-modality in the distribution of galaxy properties, with a characteristic transition scale at stellar mass M∗ ∼ 3× 10 10 M⊙ (near L∗), corresponding to virial velocity V ∼ 100 kms . Smaller galaxies tend to be blue disks of young populations. They define a “fundamental line” of decreasing surface brightness, metallicity and velocity with de...
متن کاملAssessing Characteristic Scales Using Wavelets
Characteristic scale is a notion that pervades the geophysical sciences, but it has no widely accepted precise definition. The wavelet transform decomposes a time series into coefficients that are associated with different scales. The variance of these coefficients can be used to decompose the variance of the time series across different scales. A practical definition for characteristic scale c...
متن کاملSimulating Cosmic Reionization at Large Scales I: the Geometry of Reionization
We present the first large-scale radiative transfer simulations of cosmic reionization, in a simulation volume of (100 hMpc). This is more than a 2 orders of magnitude improvement over previous simulations. We achieve this by combining the results from extremely large, cosmological, N-body simulations with a new, fast and efficient code for 3D radiative transfer, C-Ray, which we have recently d...
متن کاملPhotoevaporation of Minihalos during Reionization
We present the first gas dynamical simulations of the photoevaporation of cosmological minihalos overtaken by the ionization fronts which swept through the IGM during reionization in a ΛCDM universe, including the effects of radiative transfer. We demonstrate the phenomenon of I-front trapping inside minihalos, in which the weak, R-type fronts which traveled supersonically across the IGM decele...
