The Universe Was Reionized Twice
With a top-heavy initial stellar mass function for Population III stars, as recent simulations seem to suggest, we show that Pop III stars can, for the first time, reionize the universe at z ∼ 15 − 20 in the standard cold dark matter cosmological model. The physical reason rests in the positive feedback from Pop III star formation, made possible by a high X-ray background, which, in turn, is pr...
متن کاملWas the Universe Reionized by Massive Population-iii Stars?
The WMAP satellite has measured a large optical depth to electron scattering after cosmological recombination of τes = 0.17 ± 0.04, implying significant reionization of the primordial gas only ∼ 200 million years after the big bang. However, the most recent overlap of intergalactic HII regions must have occurred at z . 9 based on the Lyα forest constraint on the thermal history of the intergala...

متن کاملSecondary CMB anisotropies in a universe reionized in patches
In a universe reionized in patches, the Doppler effect from Thomson scattering off free electrons generates secondary cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies. For a simple model with small patches and late reionization, we analytically calculate the anisotropy power spectrum. Patchy reionization can, in principle, be the main source of anisotropies on arcminute scales. On larger angular ...
متن کاملClusters of Galaxies in the Local Universe
We use a matched filter algorithm to find and study clusters in both N-body simulations artificially populated with galaxies and the 2MASS survey. In addition to numerous checks of the matched filter algorithm, we present results on the halo multiplicity function and the cluster number function. For a subset of our identified clusters we have information on X-ray temperatures and luminosities w...
