1. Simulations of Cosmic Reionization : Shapes & Sizes of H II regions around Galaxies and Quasars
Sammanfattning : After the era of recombination, roughly 360 000 years after the big bang (redshift 1100), the universe was neutral, continued to expand and eventually the first gravitationally collapsed structures capable of forming stars, formed. Observations show that approximately 1 billion years later (redshift 6), the Universe had become highly ionized. LÄS MER
2. Galaxies in the epoch of reionization : Investigating the high-redshift galaxy population through simulations and observations
Sammanfattning : The cosmic reionization is the last major gas phase transition in cosmic history, yet it remains poorly understood. Current constraints indicate that early star-forming galaxies drove the reionization process through producing and releasing large numbers of ionizing photons into the intergalactic medium. LÄS MER
3. Molecular gas and ionizing radiation in star-forming galaxies
Sammanfattning : In cosmic history, some of the major changes such as reionization were driven by baryons (i.e. the stars and gas in galaxies), despite the fact that they contribute only few percent to the total mass-energy budget in the Universe. LÄS MER
4. How ISM properties drive Lyman Continuum Escape
Sammanfattning : The thesis introduces physical processes that are at work in astrophysical plasmas and reviews the current state of research related to the emission of ionizing photons, i.e. Lyman continuum (LyC). Star forming galaxies and active galactic nuclei are discussed as sources of LyC. LÄS MER
5. On the Escape of Lyman Radiation from Local Galaxies
Sammanfattning : Cosmic reionization was most likely initiated by star forming dwarf galaxies. Little is known about the physical mechanisms allowing ionizing Lyman continuum (LyC) photons to escape from galaxies, but to learn more we can study local galaxies in detail. LÄS MER
