CP3 Lunch - The reionization of the universe - Dr. Hiroyuki Tashiro

by Dr Hiroyuki Tashiro (CP3)

Wednesday 3 Nov 2010, 13:00 → 13:50 Europe/Brussels

E/3rd floor-E.349 - Seminar room (E.349) (Marc de Hemptinne (chemin du Cyclotron, 2, Louvain-la-Neuve))

In this talk, I give a review about cosmic reionization. Cosmic reionization is an essential milestone in the structure formation history of the universe, because it is tightly related to the formation of the firs luminous objects, or first galaxies. I focus on the observational constraints on cosmic reionization, the potential sources of ioniztion photons, and the prospects for future observations of cosmic reionization.
