Efficient simulations of early structure formation and reionization

A Mesinger, S Furlanetto - The Astrophysical Journal, 2007 - iopscience.iop.org
Detailed theoretical studies of the high-redshift universe, and especially reionization, are
generally forced to rely on time-consuming N-body codes and/or radiative transfer …

The first cosmic structures and their effects

B Ciardi, A Ferrara - Space Science Reviews, 2005 - Springer
Despite much recent theoretical and observational progress in our knowledge of the early
universe, many fundamental questions remain only partially answered. Here, we review the …
