Quasar H II Regions During Cosmic Reionization
Cosmic reionization progresses as H II regions form around sources of ionizing radiation. Their average size grows continuously until they percolate and complete reionization. We demonstrate how this typical growth can be calculated around the largest, biased sources of UV emission such as quasars by further developing an analytical model based on the excursion set formalism. This approach allo...
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 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 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 spin temperature of neutral hydrogen during cosmic pre-reionization
We re-examine the role of collisions in decoupling the H I 21-cm spin temperature from the cosmic microwave background (CMB). The cross section for de-exciting the 21-cm trasition in collisions with free electrons is more than 10 times larger than it is in collisions with other atoms. If the fraction of free electrons in the diffuse cosmic gas is between 10 and 30 per cent then collisions alone...
