Escape of Ionizing Radiation from High-Redshift Galaxies
Kenneth Wood, Abraham Loeb
We use a three-dimensional radiation transfer code to calculate the steady-state escape fraction of ionizing photons from disk galaxies as a function of redshift and galaxy mass. T…
Variability of GRB Afterglows Due to Interstellar Turbulence
Xiaohu Wang, Abraham Loeb
Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) afterglows are commonly interpreted as synchrotron emission from a relativistic blast wave produced by a point explosion in an ambient medium, plausibly the i…
The First Sources of Light in the Universe
Abraham Loeb
The formation of the first stars and quasars marks the transition between the smooth initial state and the clumpy current state of the Universe. In popular CDM cosmologies, the fir…
Radio Detection of Old GRB Remnants in the Local Universe
Eric Woods, Abraham Loeb
We investigate the hydrodynamic evolution of Gamma--Ray Burst (GRB) remnants at late times (>> 1 year), by extending the standard fireball model into the nonrelativistic Sedov--Tay…
High-Redshift Galaxies: Their Predicted Size and Surface Brightness Distributions and Their Gravitational Lensing Probability
Rennan Barkana, Abraham Loeb
Direct observations of the first generation of luminous objects will likely become feasible over the next decade. The advent of the Next Generation Space Telescope (NGST) will allo…
Generation of Magnetic Fields in the Relativistic Shock of Gamma-Ray-Burst Sources
Mikhail V. Medvedev, Abraham Loeb
We show that the relativistic two-stream instability can naturally generate strong magnetic fields with 1e-5 - 1e-1 of the equipartition energy density, in the collisionless shocks…
