Ultraviolet Background Radiation from Cosmic Structure Formation
We calculate the contribution to the ultraviolet background (UVB) from thermal emission from gas shock heated by cosmic structure formation. Our main calculation is based on an updated version of Press-Schechter theory. It is consistent with a more empirical estimate based on the observed properties of galaxies and the observed cosmic star formation history. Thermal UVB emission is characterize...
متن کاملCosmic Structure Formation and the Background Radiation
I describe our post-COBE theories for how structure developed in the Universe, from the ultra-large scales beyond that httle bit of the Universe accessible to our observations to ‘short-distance’ scales where gaa dynamicrd processes will have been m importmt m gravity in shaping the high redshift objects that formed. In between lie the very large scales whose gravitationrd potential fluctuation...
متن کاملImplications of the Background Radiation for Cosmic Structure Formation
The cosmic microwave background (CMB) is a remarkably distortionless blackbody, and this strongly constrains the amount of energy that can have been injected at high redshift, thereby limiting the role that hydrodynamical amplification can have played in cosmic structure formation. The current data on primary anisotropies (those calculated using linear response theory) provide very strong suppo...
متن کامل1 20. Cosmic background radiation 20. COSMIC BACKGROUND RADIATION
The observed cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation provides strong evidence for the hot big bang. The success of pri-mordial nucleosynthesis calculations (see Sec. 16, " Big-bang nucle-osynthesis ") requires a cosmic background radiation (CBR) characterized by a temperature kT ∼ 1 MeV at a redshift of z ≃ 10 9. In their pioneering work, Gamow, Alpher, and Herman [1] realized this and pred...
متن کاملUltraviolet Background Radiation from Beyond Pluto
The famous NASA mission New Horizons has now passed well beyond its historic mapping and scientific investigation of the planet Pluto, and is headed farther out into the Kuiper belt— beyond which, New Horizons will venture into the reaches of interstellar space! On its way there, New Horizons will carry out, on 2019 January 1, an investigation of Kuiper belt object (486958) 2014 MU69. Once that...
