Inhomogeneous reionization of the intergalactic medium regulated by radiative and stellar feedbacks
Inhomogeneous reionization of the intergalactic medium regulated by radiative and stellar feedbacks
We study the inhomogeneous reionization in a critical density CDM universe resulting from stellar sources, including Population III objects. The spatial distribution of the sources is obtained from high-resolution numerical N-body simulations. We calculate the source properties, taking into account a self-consistent treatment of both radiative (i.e. ionizing and H2-photodissociating …
