Connecting Reionization to the Local Universe
Alvarez, Marcelo A., Busha, Michael, Abel, Tom, Wechsler, Risa H. (KIPAC, Menlo Park)
We present results of combined N-body and three-dimensional reionization calculations to determine the relationship between reionization history and local environment in a volume 1 Gpc/h across and a resolution of about 1 Mpc. We resolve the formation of about 2x10^6 halos of mass greater than ~10^12 Msun at z=0, allowing us to determine the relationship between halo mass and reionization epoch for galaxies and clusters. For our fiducial reionization model, in which reionization begins at z~15 a... Show Full Abstract
We present results of combined N-body and three-dimensional reionization calculations to determine the relationship between reionization history and local environment in a volume 1 Gpc/h across and a resolution of about 1 Mpc. We resolve the formation of about 2x10^6 halos of mass greater than ~10^12 Msun at z=0, allowing us to determine the relationship between halo mass and reionization epoch for galaxies and clusters. For our fiducial reionization model, in which reionization begins at z~15 and ends by z~6, we find a strong bias for cluster-size halos to be in the regions which reionized first, at redshifts 10Show Partial Abstract
