Dynamical HII Region Evolution in Turbulent Molecular Clouds
Garrelt Mellema, S. Jane Arthur, William J. Henney +2
We present numerical radiation-hydrodynamic simulations of the evolution of HII regions formed in an inhomogeneous medium resulting from turbulence simulations. We find that the fi…
The 21 Centimeter Background from the Cosmic Dark Ages: Minihalos and the Intergalactic Medium before Reionization
Paul R. Shapiro, Kyungjin Ahn, Marcelo A. Alvarez +3
The H atoms inside minihalos (i.e. halos with virial temperatures T_vir < 10^4 K, in the mass range roughly from 10^4 M_sun to 10^8 M_sun) during the cosmic dark ages in a LambdaCD…
UV pumping of hyperfine transitions in the light elements, with application to 21-cm hydrogen and 92-cm deuterium lines from the early universe
Leonid Chuzhoy, Paul R. Shapiro
We present new analytic calculations of the coupling between ultraviolet resonance photons and the population of the hyperfine states in the light elements (H, D, He3+) which inclu…
Simulating Cosmic Reionization at Large Scales I: the Geometry of Reionization
Ilian T. Iliev, Garrelt Mellema, Ue-Li Pen +3
We present the first large-scale radiative transfer simulations of cosmic reionization, in a simulation volume of (100/h Mpc)^3, while at the same time capturing the dwarf galaxies…
The Cosmic Reionization History as Revealed by the CMB Doppler--21-cm Correlation
Marcelo A. Alvarez, Eiichiro Komatsu, Olivier Doré +1
We show that the epoch(s) of reionization when the ionization fraction of the universe is about half can be determined by correlating Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) temperature…
The effect of minihaloes on cosmic reionization
B. Ciardi, E. Scannapieco, F. Stoehr +3
One of the most debated issues in the theoretical modeling of cosmic reionization is the impact of small-mass gravitationally-bound structures. We carry out the first numerical inv…
