Late Gas accretion onto Primordial Minihalos: a Model for Leo T, Dark Galaxies and Extragalactic High-Velocity Clouds
Massimo Ricotti
In this letter we revisit the idea of reionization feedback on dwarf galaxy formation. We show that primordial minihalos with v_cir<20 km/s stop accreting gas after reionization, a…

Pre-reionization Fossils, Ultra-faint Dwarfs and the Missing Galactic Satellite Problem
Mia S. Bovill, Massimo Ricotti
We argue that, at least a fraction of the newly discovered population of ultra-faint dwarf spheroidal galaxies in the Local Group constitute the fossil relic of a once ubiquitous p…

The Fate of the First Galaxies. III. Properties of Primordial Dwarf Galaxies and their Impact on the Intergalactic Medium
Massimo Ricotti, Nickolay Y. Gnedin, J. Michael Shull
In two previous papers, we presented simulations of the first galaxies in a representative volume of the Universe. The simulations are unique because we model feedback-regulated ga…
