Cosmic histories of star formation and reionization: An analysis with a power-law approximation

Yun-Wei Yu, K. S. Cheng, M. C. Chu +1

With a simple power-law approximation of high-redshift ($\gtrsim 3.5$) star formation history, i.e., ${\dot{\rho }}_{\ast }(z)\propto [(1+z)/4.5{]}^{-\alpha }$, we investigate the reionization of interga…
