The little Galaxies that could (reionize the universe): predicting faint end slopes & escape fractions at z>4
Abstract
The sources that reionized the universe are still unknown, but likely candidates are faint but numerous galaxies. In this paper, we present results from running a high-resolution, uniform volume simulation, the Vulcan, to predict the number densities of undetectable, faint galaxies and their escape fractions of ionizing radiation, fesc, during reionization. Our approach combines a high spatial resolution, a realistic treatment of feedback and …
