Probing the star formation epoch with Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) data and high-redshift QSOs

Abstract

Using the values of the cosmological parameters obtained from Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) and the cosmological chemical clock observed by high-redshift quasars, it is shown that star formation should have started by the redshift $z_F>9.5$, and that $z_F$ is sensitive only to $\omegamz h^2$ in flat $\Lambda$CDM cosmology.
