The Origin of Intergalactic Metals around Lyman-break Galaxies

Theoretical and observational arguments suggest that the intergalactic medium (IGM) might have been polluted with metals produced by early star formation. In this scenario, Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs) at redshift z = 3 are likely to be surrounded by old metal bubbles, relics of an era when the characteristic mass of galaxies was small and gas retainment more difficult. We find that pregalactic ...

Oxygen Pumping: Probing Intergalactic Metals at the Epoch of Reionization

We consider the pumping of the 63.2 mm fine-structure line of neutral O i in the high-redshift intergalactic medium (IGM), in analogy with the Wouthuysen-Field effect for the 21 cm line of cosmic H i. We show that the soft UV background at ∼1300 can affect the population levels, and if a significant fraction of the IGM volume is filled Å with “fossil H ii regions” containing neutral O i, then t...

Measuring the Sources of the Intergalactic Ionizing Flux

We use a wide-field (0.9 deg) X-ray sample with optical and GALEX ultraviolet observations to measure the contribution of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) to the ionizing flux as a function of redshift. Our analysis shows that the AGN contribution to the metagalactic ionizing background peaks at around z = 2. The measured values of the ionizing background from the AGNs are lower than previous esti...

Confronting Cosmological Simulations with Observations of Intergalactic Metals

Using the statistics of pixel optical depths, we compare H I, C IV and C III absorption in a set of six high quality z ∼ 3 − 4 quasar absorption spectra to that in spectra drawn from two different state-of-the-art cosmological simulations that include galactic outflows. We find that the simulations predict far too little C IV absorption unless the UVB is extremely soft, and always predict far t...

crust: implications for the sources of metals

10 Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) deposits are commonly enriched in Cu, Zn and 11 Pb and can also be variably enriched in Au, As, Sb, Se and Te. The behaviour of these elements 12 during hydrothermal alteration of the oceanic crust is not well known. Ocean Drilling Program 13 (ODP) Hole 1256D penetrates a complete in-situ section of the upper oceanic crust providing a 14 unique sample suit...
