Scientific Goals

  • Connect reionization to first galaxies through

direct numerical simulations

  • Some Questions

– How does reionization proceed? – Is the observed high-z galaxy population sufficient to reionize the Universe? – How is galaxy formation and the IGM modified by reionization? – How good are the analytic and semi-numerical models

  • f reionization?

Three generations of cosmological reionization simulations

  • 1. Local self-consistent

– (small boxes < 10 Mpc) – CRHD+SF+ionization+heating – e.g., Gnedin 2000, Razoumov et al. 2002

  • 2. Global post-processing

– (large boxes > 100 Mpc) – N-body + RT – e.g., Iliev et al. 2006

  • 3. Global self-consistent

– (large boxes > 100 Mpc) – CRHD+SF+ionization+heating – Norman et al. 2012, in prep.

Post-processing Approach

  • Pioneered by Sokasian et al. (2003) and “perfected” by

Iliev, Shapiro, et al. (2006+)

  • Recipe:

– Perform high resolution N-body DM simulation in large volume (L>100 Mpc/h) – Assign ionizing flux to every halo by some prescription – Post-process snapshots of the density field, sampled onto a coarse grid, with a ray-tracing radiative transfer code, assuming baryons trace DM – Sources and gas clumping factor “coarse grained” on the mesh – No radiative feedback on source population or intergalactic gas

7/17/2012 ISSAC 2012, SDSC, San Diego USA 8

slide-9
SLIDE 9

Post-processing Approach

  • Key insights

– reionization proceeds from the “inside-out” (i.e., from

  • verdense to underdense

regions) – reionization is “rapid” (∆z~2)

  • However

– redshift of overlap is not predicted, but can be “dialed in” since it depends critically

  • n assumed (Mhalo/Lion) and fesc

– minimum halo mass cutoff a free parameter

What does “direct simulation” mean?

  • All physical processes are simulated at the same mass

and spatial resolution

– DM, gas dynamics – parameterized star formation and feedbacks – radiation sources and transport – ionization/recombination/photoevaporation

  • Only subgrid model is SF, which is calibrated to
  • bservations (Bouwens et al.)
  • Advantage: sources and sinks of ionizing radiation and

radiative feedback effects are simulated directly

  • Disadvantage: very costly to bridge scales; some still

missing (minihalos)

Numerical Methods

  • We use Enzo V2.1 in non-AMR mode

http://enzo.googlecode.com

– 6 species fluid dynamics: PPM – Dark matter dynamics: Particle-Mesh – Gravity: FFTs

  • Radiation transport: implicit flux-

limited diffusion, coupled to gas ionization and energy equation (Reynolds et al. 2009)

  • Star formation & SN feedback:

modified Cen & Ostriker 92 with “distributed feedback” (Smith et al. 2011)

– Calibrated to Bouwens et al. (2011) SFRD

  • UV radiative feedback: Pop II SED

from Ricotti, Gnedin & Shull 2002

speeds are

  • btained even at

low resolution due to implicit coupling

Cosmology simulation matter power spectrum measurement using vSMP

Source: Rick Wagner, Michael L. Norman. SDC. Used by permission. 2012

We have run two large (32003 uniform grid) simulations, with and without radiation hydrodynamics, to measure the effect of the light from the first stars on the evolution of the universe. To quantitatively compare the matter distribution of each simulation, we use radially binned 3D power spectra.

  • 2 simulations
  • 32003 uniform 3D grids
  • 244GiB+ per field
  • 15k+ files each

Individual simulations Power spectra

  • Ran existing OpenMP-

threaded code

  • ~256GiB memory used
  • ~5 ½ hours per field
  • 0 development effort

Summary: by the numbers

  • Direct RHD simulation of reionization now feasible in reasonably large

volumes

  • Reionization completes at z ~ 6 using the observed SFRD (Bouwens et
  • al. 2011)
  • Larger box begins reionization sooner, because of rare peaks, but

completes reionization at the same redshift (self-regulation?)

  • Full reionization requires ~ 4 photons/H atom
  • MHR formula provides a good estimator of when reionization will
  • ccur provided global HII clumping factor is used (dense gas not

excluded)

  • Radiative feedback suppresses star formation in halos Mh < 5x109 Ms

due to baryon depletion arising from Jeans smoothing

  • Large-scale patches (>10 Mpc) of HI remain as late as z=5.8, which

may be observable in LAE correlation function
