Emergence of the temperature–density relation in the low-density intergalactic medium.
Abstract
We examine the evolution of the intergalactic medium during the Epoch of Reionization in simulation boxes with varying reionization histories and show that the neutral fraction is a primary quantity controlling the thermal evolution of the gas.
