Cosmic Reionization and the 21cm Signal: Simulations and Analytical Models
We measure several properties of the reionization process and the corresponding low-frequency 21-cm signal associated with the neutral hydrogen distribution, using a large volume, high resolution simulation of cosmic reionization. The simulation involving 24 billion dark matter particles utilizes a hybrid code with a particle-mesh N-body algorithm for dark matter and prescriptions for baryons a...
متن کاملPhysics of Cosmic Reionization
The study of cosmic reionization has acquired increasing significance over the last few years because of various reasons. On the observational front, we now have good quality data of different types at high redshifts (quasar absorption spectra, radiation backgrounds at different frequencies, cosmic microwave background polarization, Lyα emitters and so on). Theoretically, the importance of the ...
متن کاملCosmic Reionization Redux
We show that numerical simulations of reionization that resolve the Lyman Limit systems (and, thus, correctly count absorptions of ionizing photons) have converged to about 10% level for 5 < z < 6.2 and are in reasonable agreement (within 10%) with the SDSS data in this redshift interval. The SDSS data thus constraint the redshift of overlap of cosmic Hii regions to zOVL = 6.1 ± 0.15. At higher...
متن کاملSimulating Cosmic Reionization
The first billion years of the history of the Universe, commonly referred to as the Cosmic Dark Ages and the Epoch of Reionization, constitute a crucial missing link in our understanding of the evolution of the intergalactic medium and the formation and evolution of galaxies. As gravity gradually amplified the small density contrasts in this darkmatter-dominated universe, structure arose hierar...
متن کاملThe infancy of cosmic reionization
We consider the early stages of cosmic hydrogen or helium reionization, when ionizing sources were still rare. We show that Poisson fluctuations in the galaxy distribution substantially affected the early bubble size distribution, although galaxy clustering was also an essential factor even at the earliest times. We find that even at high redshifts, a significant fraction of the ionized volume ...
