Ionization fronts and their interaction with density fluctuations: implications for reionization
Ilian T. Iliev, Paul R. Shapiro, Evan Scannapieco +4
The propagation of cosmological ionization fronts (I-fronts) during reionization is strongly influenced by small-scale structure. Here we summarize our recent attemps to understand…
The Equilibrium Structure of CDM Halos
Paul R. Shapiro, Ilian T. Iliev, Hugo Martel +2
Dark-matter halos are the scaffolding around which galaxies and clusters are built. They form when the gravitational instability of primordial density fluctuations causes regions w…
Minihalo photoevaporation during cosmic reionization: evaporation times and photon consumption rates
Ilian T. Iliev, Paul R. Shapiro, Alejandro C. Raga
The weak, R-type ionization fronts (I-fronts) which swept across the intergalactic medium (IGM) during the reionization of the universe often found their paths blocked by cosmologi…
Nonlinear clustering during the cosmic Dark Ages and its effect on the 21-cm background from minihalos
Ilian T. Iliev, Evan Scannapieco, Hugo Martel +1
Hydrogen atoms inside virialized minihalos generate a radiation background from redshifted 21-cm line emission whose angular fluctuations reflect clustering during before and durin…
On the Direct Detectability of the Cosmic Dark Ages: 21-cm Emission from Minihalos
Ilian T. Iliev, Paul R. Shapiro, Andrea Ferrara +1
In the standard Cold Dark Matter (CDM) theory of structure formation, virialized minihalos (with T_vir}<10^4 K) form in abundance at high redshift (z>6), during the cosmic ``dark a…
The Universal Equilibrium of CDM Halos: Making Tracks on the Cosmic Virial Plane
Ilian T. Iliev, Paul R. Shapiro
Dark-matter halos are the scaffolding around which galaxies and clusters are built. They form when the gravitational instability of primordial density fluctuations causes regions w…
