Implications for the cosmological model are explored of the assumption that the cosmic microwave background is subject to an SU(2) Yang– Mills theory of scale 10−4 eV rather than U(1) quantum thermodynamics. This concerns zeroth‐order (changes at high redshifts) and first‐order cosmological perturbations (changes at high and low redshifts).

A very extended reionization epoch? [PDF]
The recent observations of cross temperature-polarization power spectra of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) made by the WMAP satellite are in better agreement with a high value of the Thomson scattering optical depth \approx 0.17. This value is close to = 0.3, which is taken as the upper limit in the parameter extraction analysis made by the ...

Baryons both increase halo concentration through adiabatic contraction and expel mass through feedback processes. However, it is not well understood how the radiation fields prevalent during the epoch of reionization affect the evolution of concentration

The reionization of helium at z ~ 3 is the final phase transition of the intergalactic medium and supposed to be driven purely by quasars. The He ii transverse proximity effect—enhanced He ii transmission in a background sightline caused by the ionizing ...

Crossing the Rubicon of Reionization with z ∼ 5 QSOs
One of the key open questions in cosmology is the nature of sources that completed cosmological hydrogen reionization at z ∼ 5.2. High- z primeval galaxies have been long considered the main drivers of reionization, with a minor role played by high- z ...

Self-regulated reionization [PDF]
Recently, we have presented the first large-scale radiative transfer simulations of reionization. Here we present new simulations which extend the source halo mass range downward to 10^8M_solar, to capture the full range of halo masses thought to be primarily responsible for reionization by their star formation following atomic hydrogen radiative ...

Reionization with Simba: How Much Does Astrophysics Matter in Modeling Cosmic Reionization?
Abstract Traditional large-scale models of reionization usually employ simple deterministic relations between halo mass and luminosity to predict how reionization proceeds. We here examine the impact on modeling reionization of using more detailed models for the ionizing sources as identified within the 100 h −1 Mpc ...

Patchy Kinetic Sunyaev–Zel’dovich Effect with Controlled Reionization History and Morphology
Using the novel semi-numerical code for reionization AMBER, we model the patchy kinetic Sunyaev–Zel’dovich (kSZ) effect by directly specifying the reionization history with the redshift midpoint z _mid , duration Δ _z , and asymmetry A _z .

Perspectives for Cosmological Reionization From Future CMB and Radio Projects
In spite of the great recent results from the Planck satellite supporting cosmological reionization scenarios almost compatible with astrophysical models for the evolution of structure, galaxy and star formation, the full understanding of the ...
