On The Survival and Abundance of Disk-dominated Galaxies
Jun Koda, Milos Milosavljevic, Paul R. Shapiro
We study the formation of disk-dominated galaxies in a Lambda CDM universe. Their existence is considered to be a challenge for the Lambda CDM cosmology, because galaxy mergers iso…
Effect of the intergalactic environment on the observability of Ly-alpha emitters during reionization
Ilian T. Iliev, Paul R. Shapiro, Patrick McDonald +2
Observations of high-redshift Ly-alpha sources are a major tool for studying the high-redshift Universe. We discuss the effect of the reionizing intergalactic medium on the observa…
Simulating Reionization: Character and Observability
Ilian T. Iliev, Paul R. Shapiro, Garrelt Mellema +3
In recent years there has been considerable progress in our understanding of the nature and properties of the reionization process. In particular, the numerical simulations of this…
Feedback from first radiation sources: H- photodissociation
Leonid Chuzhoy, Michael Kuhlen, Paul R. Shapiro
During the epoch of reionization, the formation of radiation sources is accompanied by the growth of a H- photodissociating flux. We estimate the impact of this flux on the formati…
The Cluster-Merger Shock in 1E 0657-56: Faster than the Speeding Bullet?
Milos Milosavljevic, Jun Koda, Daisuke Nagai +2
Shock waves driven in the intergalactic medium during the merging of galaxy clusters have been observed in X-ray imaging and spectroscopy. Fluid motions inferred from the shock str…
Current models of the observable consequences of cosmic reionization and their detectability
Ilian T. Iliev, Garrelt Mellema, Ue-Li Pen +2
A number of large current experiments aim to detect the signatures of the Cosmic Reionization at redshifts z>6. Their success depends crucially on understanding the character of th…
