Abstract:
Star formation in primordial galaxies will have strong effects on the
surrounding intergalactic gas, perhaps preventing it from collapsing into
galaxies by heating from ionization or turbulence. We have used
high-resolution, two-dimensional gas dynamical models to predict the fraction
of ionizing radiation from starbursts escaping from these galaxies, and the
fraction of mass, metals, and kinetic energy escaping in the blowout of
supernova-driven winds.
