History of IGM F(HI) = 0 C.Carilli (NRAO) Heidelberg 05 F(HI) = 1 Epoch of Reionization (EoR) • last phase of cosmic evolution to be tested • bench-mark in cosmic structure formation indicating the first luminous structures F(HI) = 1e-5
z=5.80 z=5.82 z=5.99 z=6.28 The Gunn Peterson Effect End of reionization f(HI) > 0.001 at z = 6.3 => opaque at l_obs<0.9mm Fan et al 2003
Near-edge of reionization: GP Effect Fairly Fast: • f(HI) > 1e-3 at z >= 6.3 (0.87Gyr) • f(HI) < 1e-4 at z <= 5.7 (1.0 Gyr) Although cf. Songaila, Oh, Stern, Malhotra… Fan + 2005; White + 2005
Neutral IGM evolution (Gnedin 2004): ‘Cosmic Phase transition’ at z=6 to 7 8 Mpc (comoving) Normalization: GP absorption, LCDM + z=4 LBGs, T_IGM
WMAP Large scale polarization of CMB (Kogut et al.) CMB Temperature fluctuations imprinted by primordial density fluctuations at last scattering (z=1000) Large scale polarization: Thompson scattering at EoR t_e = 0.17 => F(HI) < 0.5 at z=17 20deg
GP + CMB => ‘complex’ reionization extending from z=20 to 6? • Limitations of current measurements: • CMB polarization: -- t_e= Ln_es_e = integral measure through universe=> allows many reionization scenarios • Gunn-Peterson effect: --t_Lya >>1 for f(HI)>0.001-- High z universe is opaque at (observed) optical wavelengths Reionization occurs in ‘twilight zone’, observable at near-IR through radio wavelengths
