The Escape of Ionizing Photons from the Galaxy
The Magellanic Stream and several high velocity clouds have now been detected in optical line emission. The observed emission measures and kinematics are most plausibly explained by photoionization due to hot, young stars in the Galactic disk. The highly favorable orientation of the Stream allows an unambiguous determination of the fraction of ionizing photons fesc which escape the disk. We hav...
متن کاملNew Constraints on the Escape of Ionizing Photons from Starburst Galaxies Using Ionization-parameter Mapping
The fate of ionizing radiation in starburst galaxies is key to understanding cosmic reionization. However, the galactic parameters on which the escape fraction of ionizing radiation depend are not well understood. Ionizationparameter mapping provides a simple, yet effective, way to study the radiative transfer in starburst galaxies. We obtain emission-line ratio maps of [S iii]/[S ii] for six, ...
متن کاملThe Escape of Ionizing Photons from Ob Associations in Disk Galaxies: Radiation Transfer through Superbubbles
By solving the time-dependent radiation transfer problem of stellar radiation through evolving superbubbles within a smoothly varying H I distribution, we have estimated the fraction of ionizing photons emitted by OB associations that escapes the H I disk of our Galaxy. We considered a coeval star-formation history and a Gaussian star-formation history with a time spread σt = 2 Myr. We find tha...
متن کاملIonizing Photon Escape Fractions from High Redshift Dwarf Galaxies
It has been argued that low-luminosity dwarf galaxies are the dominant source of ionizing radiation during cosmological reionization. The fraction of ionizing radiation that escapes into the intergalactic medium from dwarf galaxies with masses less than ∼10 solar masses plays a critical role during this epoch. Using an extensive suite of very high resolution (0.1 pc), adaptive mesh refinement, ...
متن کاملEscape of Ionizing Radiation from High Redshift Galaxies
We model the escape of ionizing radiation from high-redshift galaxies using high-resolution Adaptive Mesh Refinement N-body+hydrodynamics simulations. Our simulations include time-dependent and spatiallyresolved transfer of ionizing radiation in three dimensions, including effects of dust absorption. For galaxies of total mass M & 1011 M⊙ and star formation rates SFR ≈ 1 − 5 M⊙ yr−1, we find an...
