The effects of early cosmic reionization on the substructure problem in galactic halos

Recent observations of the cosmic microwave background by the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe strongly suggest that the reionization of the universe took place quite early (z~17). On the other hand, it has been pointed out that the cold dark matter cosmology suffers from a substructure problem in which more subgalactic halos are produced in the Local Group than dwarf galaxies. In this Letter, as a potential mechanism for solving this problem, we consider the feedback effects of early reionization on the formation of small-scale structures. For this purpose, we perform three-dimensional radiation hydrodynamic simulations, incorporating the radiative transfer for ionizing photons. As a result, it is found that the early reionization is devastating for low-mass systems with Mvir<~108 Msolar or vcirc<~20 km s-1, and almost all gas is photoevaporated in more than 95% of low-mass systems. Such a strong negative feedback on the formation of low-mass galaxies may solve the substructure problem and support the picture that Local Group dwarf galaxies are descendants of the more massive halos that experienced and survived tidal stripping....

We studied galaxy formation with Radiation-SPH simulations in order to find the effects of UVB field on the star formation in the forming galaxies. We find the UVB radiation field can delay the star formation in protogalactic clouds, especially at low redshift (z < 2). This result suggests that galaxies formed at lower redshift tend to be late type galaxies and early type galaxies tend to be formed at higher redshift....

The Epoch of Cosmic Reionization
Studies of Galaxies in the Young Universe with New Generation Telescope 2004.2
Single Work
Full radiative transfer for ionizing photons in 3D space has been solved to pursue the reionization history in an inhomogeneous universe. It has been shown that the inhomogeniety of the universe delays the reionization considerably. Also, QSO absorption line systems are simulated with using the results of radiative transfer calculations. Lyα continuum depression implies that the metagalactic UV intensity decreases rapidly with z at z > 5, and the reionization must have taken place between z = 6 and 10. Finally, it is stressed that Hα forest is a more powerful tool to probe the reionization history and the density fluctuations in the universe at z > 5....

Recently, a ``CDM crisis'' is being discussed. The main point of this crisis is that the number of substructures presented by cosmological N-body simulations based on the CDM scenario for structure formation is much larger than the observed substructures. Therefore, it is crucial for this crisis to discriminate whether the expected number of CDM substructures really exist without detectable radiation, or do not exist. In this paper, we present a new idea to detect such invisible substructures by utilizing gravitational lensing. Here, we consider quasars that are gravitationally lensed by a foreground galaxy. A substructure around a lensing galaxy may superposed on one of the lensed images of such quasars. In this situation, additional image splitting should occur in the image behind the substructure, and additional multiple images are created. From our estimations, the separation and time delay between the additional multiple images are expected to be 1-30 milli-arcsecond and 1-103 second, respectively. Furthermore, we evaluate that the optical depth for such events is sim 0.1. Consequently, future fine-resolution imaging and/or high-speed monitoring will unable us to find invisible substructures in one of a few multiple quasars....

Lots of astrophysical issues are closely related to the problem of radiation transfer. In this paper, I try to outline the recent results on the cosmic reionization, and radiative feedback on the formation of galaxies, in which the multi-dimensional radiative tranfer problem is quite important. I also mention the future prospects on these issues....

We have developed a hybrid computing system named HMCS-G which combines general purpose parallel systems and a special purpose machine for gravity calculation on computational grid environment. The prototype is implemented with GRAPE-6 gravity engine and OmniRPC as Grid-RPC with high portability and throughput. Through the preliminary performance evaluation on several network conditions, it is confirmed that the function and capability of HMCS-G can support actual application for multiphysics simulation. With HMCS-G, the utilization ratio of special purpose machines such as GRAPE-6 is also greatly enhanced through access from all over the world.

Towards Direct Detection of Substructure around Galaxies -- Quasar Mesolensing
The Proceedings of the IAU 8th Asian-Pacific Regional Meeting, Volume 1 2003.5
Single Work
We discuss about detectability of substructure around galaxies by utilizing a quasar which is gravitationally lensed by an intervening galaxy. In this situation, background quasars have already shown multiple images. If a substructure in the lens galaxy is superposed on one of the images, additional gravitational lensing by the substructure will occur. The typical image separation due to the substructures with mass 10^8 M_o is on the order of micro-arcseconds. Even if we cannot resolve these images, the total flux variations of these images are expected to be observed, both as its own flux variation plus the ``echo"-like variation due to time delay between the images. The time delay of this ``echo"-like variation is estimated to be several tens of minutes....

Role of ultraviolet background radiation field on the formation of galaxies
Astronomical Herald 2003.2
Single Work
There are various types of galaxies in our universe. They are distributed over six orders of magnitude in mass, and have wide varieties of morphologies and colors. It is one of the main and far-reaching research themes in the present cosmology how these galaxies are formed and they come to have such diversity. These varieties might be caused by ultraviolet background radiation field (UVB) filled the universe in the era of galaxy formation, because UVB introduces a few physical scales to the formation processes of galaxies. In this paper, I will try to outline the effects of ultraviolet background radiation field on the formation of galaxies....
