The Kinetic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect from Reionization: Simulated Full Sky Maps at Arcminute Resolution
Marcelo A. Alvarez
The kinetic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (kSZ) effect results from Thomson scattering by coherent flows in the reionized intergalactic medium. We present new results based on ray-tracing a 1…
UV driven evaporation of close-in planets: energy-limited; recombination-limited and photon-limited flows
James E. Owen, Marcelo A. Alvarez
We have investigated the evaporation of close-in exoplanets irradiated by ionizing photons. We find that the properties of the flow are controlled by the ratio of the recombination…
Evolution of Low Mass Galactic Subhalos and Dependence on Concentration
J. D. Emberson, Takeshi Kobayashi, Marcelo A. Alvarez
We carry out a detailed study of the orbital dynamics and structural evolution of over 6000 subhalos in the Via Lactea II simulation, from infall to present. By analyzing subhalos…
Probing First Galaxies and Their Impact on the Intergalactic Medium through the 21-cm Observation of the Cosmic Dawn with the SKA
Kyungjin Ahn, Andrei Mesinger, Marcelo A. Alvarez +1
We present an overview of the theory of high-redshift star and X-ray source formation, and how they affect the 21-cm background. Primary focus is given to Lyman alpha pumping and X…
