The Formation of the First Globular Clusters in Dwarf Galaxies before the Epoch of Reionization
We explore a mechanism for the formation of the first globular clusters, operating during the assembly of dwarf galaxies at high redshifts, z ∼> 10. The substructure in the dark matter and the corresponding potential wells are responsible for setting the cluster scale of ∼ 10M . The second mass scale in the formation problem, the stellar scale of ∼ 1M , is determined in turn by the processes th...
متن کاملConstraints on the star formation efficiency of galaxies during the epoch of reionization
Reionization is thought to have occurred in the redshift range of 6 < z < 9, which is now being probed by both deep galaxy surveys and CMB observations. Using halo abundance matching over the redshift range 5 < z < 8 and assuming smooth, continuous gas accretion, we develop a model for the star formation efficiency f of dark matter haloes at z > 6 that matches the measured galaxy luminosity fun...
متن کاملFirst Galaxies: Exploring the Reionization Epoch
Executive Summary: Studies of the nature of the first galaxies, and of the processes that led to their assembly and buildup, are of compelling importance. Not only did the first generation of galaxies likely reionize the universe, but they also were the seeds for the diverse population of today’s galaxies and the massive black holes that reside in them. Star formation in the first galaxies was ...
متن کاملFaint Blue Galaxies and the Epoch of Dwarf-Galaxy Formation
Several independent lines of reasoning, both theoretical and observational, suggest that the very faint (B > 24) galaxies seen in deep images of the sky are small low-mass galaxies that experienced a short starburst at redshifts 0:5 < z < 1 and have since faded into low luminosity, low surface brightness objects. We examine this hypothesis in detail in order to determine whether a model incorpo...
متن کاملThe Epoch of Reionization
We have modelled the process of reionization of the intergalactic medium (IGM) by photoionization by galaxies, in order to learn what galaxy formation in the framework of the CDM model predicts for the epoch of reionization. We use a sophisticated semi-analytic model of galaxy formation to track the formation of these galaxies, their influence on the IGM, and the back-reaction of the state of t...
