Large-scale simulations of H and He reionization and heating driven by stars and more energetic sources
Large-scale simulations of H and He reionization and heating driven by stars and more energetic sources
We present simulations of cosmic reionization and reheating from $z=18$ to $z=5$, investigating the role of stars (emitting soft UV-photons), nuclear black holes (BHs, with power-law spectra), X-ray binaries (XRBs, with hard X-ray dominated spectra), and the supernova-associated thermal bremsstrahlung of the diffuse interstellar medium (ISM, with soft X-ray spectra). …
