  1. Cosmic radiative feedback from reionization By Ruben Salvaterra (OA-Brera) C. Burigana (IASF-Bologna) R. Schneider (OA-Firenze) T. Choudhury (Cambridge) A. Ferrara (SISSA) L. Popa (ISS Bucarest)

  2. Overview

  3. Radiative feedback from reionization The increase of temperature in ionized region leads to a dramatic suppression of the formation of low-mass galaxies. Suppression model: radiative feedback is effective in dark matter haloes with circular velocity below a critical value vcrit~ (2kBT/μmp) where T is the average temperature of ionizing regions [~ 30 km/s for T=3x104 K] Filtering model: the average baryonic mass within haloes in photoionized regions is a fraction of the universal value: where MC is the mass of haloes that retain 50% of their gas mass (Gnedin 2000)

  4. Reionization model • We implemented these two radiative feedback prescription in a well tested reionization model (Choudhury & Ferrara 2006). • The main features of the model are: • Inhomogeneous reionization assuming lognormal overdensity distribution • Sources of reionization: • PopIII stars: Salpeter IMF but metal free (Schaerer 06) • PopII stars: Salpeter IMF, Bruzual & Charlot • Quasars: important for z<6 • Chemical feedback governs the transition from PopIII to PopII stars (Zcrit=10-5+/-1 Zsun): the two populations are coeval and PopIII stars can form also at relatively low-z.

  5. Effect of radiative feedback ionized regions suppression Mmin (T=104 K) filtering

  6. Results: suppression model

  7. Results: filtering model

  8. Reionization history and temperatures Gas temperature suppression Reionization history filtering

  9. All-sky 21cm background signal suppression filtering require removal of foreground at a few x 10-3 level

  10. 21cm signal: detectability A successful detection requires: ΔTb> 3 mK Δ(d Tb/df)> 0.6 mK MHz-1 Single-dish, all sky 21cm observations can discriminate between the two model in the frequency ranges obs=73-79 MHz(z=17-18.4) obs=82.5-97.2 MHz(z=13.6-16.2)

  11. CMB signal

  12. CMB signal (TT, TE): detectability cosmic variance

  13. CMB signal (EE): detectability 0.1 x foreground 0.03 0.01

  14. Conclusions • Radiative feedback from reionization has important consequences on structure formation • Different prescriptions for cosmic radiative feedback produce different reionization history • Future 21cm and CMB polarization anisotropy observations can discriminate among different radiative feedback models. • Foregrounds should be subtracted at percent level to discriminate between the suppression and the filtering model
