  1. 21cm Lines and Dark Ages Naoshi Sugiyama Department of Physics and Astrophysics Nagoya University Furlanetto & Briggs astro-ph/0409205, Zaldarriaga et al, ApJ 608 (2004)622, …

  2. Reionization of the Universe • Once Inter-Galactic Medium became neutral after recombination (400,000 yrs after big bang) • UV photons from first stars and/or QSOs made IGM reionized. • It has been known that IGM were reionized by z~5 from Ly-alpha forest of QSOs. (Gunn-Peterson test)

  3. Clues to reveal Reionization of the Universe • Gunn-Peterson Test: Ly-alpha Absorption by Neutral Hydrogen Reionization completed by z~6 • CMB Polarization: Scattering by Ionized Hydrogen (electrons) Optical depth of Thomson Scattering =0.1 Reionization took place at z~10 • 21cm Tomography

  4. Early Reionization of the Universe WMAP • Reionization •  = 0.1 • Corresponds to z~10 for instantaneous reionization • z~20 for xe~0.2 (gradual reionization)

  13. 1% of Hydrogen’s are Neutral at z=6 We’ve just started to see the very end of the reionization epoch Fan et al. AJ 123 1247

  14. Reionization What we have known so far are • Completed by z ~ 6 •  = 0.1 • We don’t know yet • How it occurs • How long it takes • How the ionized region evolves Start at z~20, continue until z~6? / Two stages?

  15. Complete by z=6 ionization fraction Begin at z>20

  16. Two Steps Reionization motivated by WMAP + QSO Gunn-Peterson test Neutral fraction

  20. Optimal Reionization Experiment Be sensitive to order unity changes in ionization fraction x (or neutral fraction) Probe crucial middle stages of reionization Well-localized along the line of sight Information as a function of redshift Not require the presence of bright background sources Bright sources are rare and short lived

  21. 21cm Hyperfine Transition of Neutral Hydrogen in IGM Provide a Three Dimension Map of Reionization (Neutral Hydrogen) Fulfills all three of these criteria Excitation temperature (Spin temp.) Ts If Ts>Tcmb, emission, Ts<Tcmb, absorption Variations of neutral hydrogen distribution appear as fluctuations in sky brightness Line transition: above fluctuations are localized in redshift space

  22. 21cm Transition Need a mechanism to decouple CMB temperature TCMB and Spin temperature Ts • Two Mechanisms are possible to couple Ts and Kinetic temperature of IGM, Tk(Tk  TCMB) • collisions between hydrogen atoms (Purcell & Field 1956) • too small if / < 30[(1+z)/10]-2 (Madau et al 1997) • scattering by Ly photons (Wouthuysen 1952; Field 1958).

  23. 1,420.406MHz 21.11cm n=1, triplet n=1, singlet Ly n=1, singlet n=2, triplet

  24. 21cm Transition Observed brightness temperature TS : spin temperature, TCMB : CMB temp. xH : neutral fraction, : over-density TK : kinetic temperature, TLy : color temperature

  25. Thermal History of the Universe • Decouple to CMB, z<140, IGM cools adiabatically until first objects collapse: TK<TCMBTS=TCMB z>25 of the Fig. • Possible formation of “mini-halos”, 106MSUN makes TS=Tvirial Emission, T~0.1-1mK, arc-minutes scale • First Light: numerous luminous sources, TS=TK <TCMB Fig., z~25, until z=21, 21cm absorption in background, but high density region can be emission. • Uniformly Heated IGM Ly & X-ray background become sufficiently strong. Since (TS-TCMB )/TS=1, 21cm depends only on  & xH z<20 of Fig.1.

  33. Perhaps, a bit more complicated? Tokutani et al. • Collapse of Dense Gas Cloud to form a first object • Higher Kinetic Temperature: Tk>Tcmb • Emission • Formation of a First Object • Ionized hydrogen gas: Less 21cm emission • Die immediate (~1million yr.) • Radiative Transfer is needed

  37. We can make a three dimensional Map of reionization! Life is not so easy!

  38. 21cm brightness temperature z=12.1 z=9.2 z=7.6 T=1-10mK, which is 10-5 of the brightness of the radio sky, dominated by synchrotron from the Galaxy Sounds impossible, but statistically may possible!

  39. Use Fluctuations Power spectrum of 21cm z=18,15,13,12 z~0.02-0.2, ~0.2-2MHz

  40. Observationally Challenging! • Foreground Contamination • TB~180(/180MHz)-2.6 at 197>>68MHz, (6.2<z<20) • Galactic Synchrotron is smooth at min. scales • How Can We Remove? • Resolve away DC term, by interferometric antenna array • subtraction of Strong radio sources • Pixel by pixel, continuum subtraction, assuming spectral smoothness

  41. 21cm = 1.4GHz z:100 10 0
