Cosmology from the Highly-Redshifted 21 cm Line (2009)
Furlanetto, Steven, Lidz, Adam, Loeb, Abraham, McQuinn, Matthew, Pritchard, Jonathan, Shapiro, Paul, ...
One of the next decade's most exciting prospects is to explore the cosmic "dark ages," during which the first stars in the Universe formed, with the 21 cm line of neutral hydrogen. At z>6, this light...
Astrophysics from the Highly-Redshifted 21 cm Line (2009)
Furlanetto, Steven, Lidz, Adam, Loeb, Abraham, McQuinn, Matthew, Pritchard, Jonathan, Aguirre, James, ...
The cosmic dark ages and the epoch of reionization, during which the first generations of stars and galaxies formed, are among the most compelling frontiers of extragalactic astrophysics and...
Cooray, Asantha, Amblard, Alexandre, Beichman, Charles, Benford, Dominic, Bernstein, Rebecca, Bock, James, ...
(Brief Summary) What is the total radiative content of the Universe since the epoch of recombination? The extragalactic background light (EBL) spectrum captures the redshifted energy released from...
Massive Black Holes And Light Element Nucleosynthesis In A Baryonic Universe (e30475j) (2007)
Nickolay Gnedin, Jeremiah P. Ostriker, Martin J. Rees
We re-examine the model proposed by Gnedin and Ostriker (1992) in which Jeans' mass black holes (MBH ß 10 6 M fi ) form shortly after decoupling. There is no nonbaryonic dark matter in this...
