The Radiative Feedback of the First Cosmological Objects
Open accessAbstract
In hierarchical models of structure formation, an early cosmic UV background (UVB) is produced by the small ( T vir ≲ 10 4 K) halos that collapse before reionization. The UVB at energies below 13.6 eV suppresses the formation of stars or black holes inside small halos by photodissociating their only cooling agent, molecular H 2 . We self-consistently compute the buildup of the early UVB in Press-Schechter models, coupled with H 2 photodissociation both in the intergalactic medium (IGM) and inside virialized halos. We find that the intergalactic H 2 has a negligible effect on the UVB, both because its initial optical depth is small (≲0.1) and because it is photodissociated at an early stage. If the UV sources in the first collapsed halos are stars, then their UV flux suppresses further star formation inside small halos. This results in a pause in the buildup of the UVB, and reionization is delayed until larger halos ( T vir ≳ 10 4 K) collapse. If the small halos host miniquasars with hard spectra extending to ~1 keV, then their X-rays balance the effects of the UVB, the negative feedback does not occur, and reionization could be caused by the small halos.

“The efficiency can also be kept low by internal feedback mechanisms inside each halo, such as destruction of molecules by an internal UVH2source (Silk 1977 ; Omukai & Nishi 1999), or blow-out of the gas by supernovae (Mac Low & Ferrara 1999).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
