The Impact of Population III.1 Flash Reionization for CMB Polarization and Thomson Scattering Optical Depth

Kavli Affiliate: Eiichiro Komatsu | First 5 Authors: Jonathan C. Tan, Jonathan C. Tan, , , | Summary: The Population III.1 theory for supermassive black hole (SMBH) formation predicts a very early ($zsim20-25$), transient phase, “The Flash”, of cosmic reionization powered by supermassive stars that are SMBH progenitors. The universe then quickly recombined to become […]
