Statistical Probes of Reionization with 21 Cm Tomography
We consider the degree to which “21 cm tomography” of the high-redshift Universe can distinguish different ionization histories. Using a new analytic model for the size distribution of H II regions that associates these ionized bubbles with large-scale galaxy overdensities, we compute the angular power spectrum and other statistical properties of the 21 cm brightness temperature during reioniza...
متن کاملStatistics of Neutral Regions during Hydrogen Reionization
We present predictions for two statistical measures of the hydrogen reionization process at high redshift. The first statistic is the number of neutral segments identified in spectra of high-redshift QSOs as a function of their length. The second is the cross-correlation of neutral regions with possible sources of ionizing radiation. These independent probes are sensitive to the topology of the...
متن کامل21-cm fluctuations from inhomogeneous X-ray heating before reionization
Many models of early structure formation predict a period of heating immediately preceding reionization, when X-rays raise the gas temperature above that of the cosmic microwave background. These X-rays are often assumed to heat the intergalactic medium (IGM) uniformly, but in reality will heat the gas more strongly closer to the sources. We develop a framework for calculating fluctuations in t...
متن کاملRedshift Space 21 Cm Power Spectra from Reionization
We construct a simple but self-consistent analytic ionization model for rapid exploration of 21cm power spectrum observables in redshift space. It is fully described by the average ionization fraction xe(z) and HII patch size R(z) and has the flexibility to accommodate various reionization scenarios. The model associates ionization regions with dark matter halos of the number density required t...
متن کاملPrimordial non-Gaussianity from the 21 cm power spectrum during the epoch of reionization.
Primordial non-Gaussianity is a crucial test of inflationary cosmology. We consider the impact of non-Gaussianity on the ionization power spectrum from 21 cm emission at the epoch of reionization. We focus on the power spectrum on large scales at redshifts of 7 to 8 and explore the expected constraint on the local non-Gaussianity parameter f(NL) for current and next-generation 21 cm experiments...
