Fossil HII Regions: Self-Limiting Star Formation at High Redshift
Recent results by the WMAP satellite suggest that the intergalactic medium was significantly reionized at redshifts as high as z ∼ 17. At this early epoch, the first ionizing sources likely appeared in the shallow potential wells of mini–halos with virial temperatures Tvir < 10 K. Once such an ionizing source turns off, its surrounding HII region Compton cools and recombines. Nonetheless, we sh...
متن کاملStar Formation at High Redshift: A Population of Early Dwarfs?
The history of the transition from a neutral intergalactic medium (IGM) to one that is almost fully ionized can reveal the character of cosmological ionizing sources and set important constraints on the stellar birthrate at high redshifts. The hydrogen component in a highly inhomogeneous universe is completely reionized when the number of photons emitted above 1 ryd in one recombination time eq...
متن کاملGRB to probe high redshift star - formation ?
— We present a detailed analysis of the selection effects that plague GRB observations. We find that these effects may partially explain the different redshift distributions between BeppoSax/HETE2 and Swift bursts. It is mandatory to consider these effects to determine the redshift evolution of GRBs. PACS 95.55.Ka – cosmology-observations. PACS 98.70.Rz – γ-ray sources; γ-ray bursts. Gamma Ray ...
متن کاملHigh Redshift Quasars and Star Formation History
Quasars are among the most luminous objects in the universe , and they can be studied in detail up to the highest known redshift. Assuming that the gas associated with quasars is closely related to the interstellar medium of the host galaxy, quasars can be used as tracer of the star formation history in the early universe. We have observed a small sample of quasars at redshifts 3 ∼ < z ∼ < 5 an...
متن کاملStar Formation in High Redshift Galaxies
Observations of the high redshift Universe, interpreted in the context of a new generation of computer simulated model Universes, are providing new insights into the processes by which galaxies and quasars form and evolve, as well as the relationship between the formation of virialized, star-forming systems and the evolution of the intergalactic medium. We describe our recent measurements of th...
