Possible sources of ionizing UV background 1. exotic sources – antimatter, unstable particles, etc… 2. First stars Pop III with Z met <10 -5 Z ¤ or 3. non thermal sources - AGNs and Black Holes 4. Quasars at z < 3.5, He III

Three steps of galaxy formation 1. Formation of the virialized relaxed massive DM cloud (perhaps, anisotropic) at z<z rec ~10 3 with ρ cl ~200 and overdensity δ DM ~10 4 z 10 7 M 9 1/2 2. Cooling and dissipative compression of the baryonic component, but the bulk motions and the kinetic temperature of stars are preserved 3. Formation of stars – luminous matter with M>M J Main Problem of the star formation M J /M ¤ ~2 ·10 7 T 4 3/2 n b -1/2, For stars: T 4 ~10 -2, n b >10 2 cm -3, M J /M ¤ <10 3 z=z rec,T 4 ~0.3, n b ~250 cm -3, M J / M ¤ ~ 2 ·10 5 Parameters of baryonic components ~4· z 10 3 g/cm 3, ~ g/cm 3, ~1 g/cm 3, ρ BH ~2 M 8 -2 g/cm3 Cooling factors: H 2 molecules and metals (dust, C I etc.)
Simplest problem – first galaxies and POP III stars Two processes of the H 2 formation H+e=H - +γ, H - +H=H 2 +e, γ~1.6eV H+p=H 2 + +γ, H 2 + +H=H 2 +p E par =128K, E ort =512K In both case the reaction rate and the H 2 concentrations are proportional to = At 1000>z>z rei x e =n e / ~10 -3 what is very small value. Feedback of LW radiation 912A<λ<1216A H 2 +γ LW =2H
Influence of the LW background Actual limit is J LW21 ~1 – 0.1 for various redshifts For the period of full ionization z~10 we get J LW 21 ~4 N bγ This means that at at 10>z>8.5 the H 2 molecules are practically destroyed and star formation is strongly suppressed This background is mainly disappeared at z~8.5

Simulations (2001) The box ~1Mpc, cells, N dm ~10 7, m dm ~30M 0, M gal ~10 6 – 10 7 M 0 Very useful general presentation (the galaxy and star formation are possible) Restrictions: a. small box → random regions (void or wall) & unknown small representativity b. large mass DM particles in comparison with the mass of stars.
What is mostly interesting a. realization – it is possible! b. wide statistics of objects -- what is possible for various redshifts c. rough characteristics of internal structure of the first galaxies d. general quantitative analysis of main physical processes

Comments Importance – instead of the experiment Complexity, representativity and precision (WMAP). Modern facilities Our attempts – simulations versus analysis
New semi analytical approach We know the process of the DM halo formation and can use this information Assumptions: a. what is the moment of halo formation b. baryons follow to DM and have the same pressure and kinetic temperature c. what is the cooling of the baryonic components d. thermal instability leads to formation of stars with masses M st > M Jeans

Conclusions We do not see any manifestations of the first stars We do not know the main sources of ionizing UV radiation A. It seems that first stars Pop II & III, SNs, GRBs are approximately effective (~30 – 40%) B. non thermal sources BHs remnants and/or AGNs are more effective (~50% + ?) C. We can semi analytically describe the formation and evolution of the first galaxies
Galaxies and BHs BHs are observed in~1% of all galaxies, n~10 -4 Mpc -3 Very massive BHs are observed as QSRs with N qsr ~10 -5 – Mpc -3 at z<5; mainly at z~2 – 2.5 Perhaps, there are AGNs in 70% of old massive galaxies. ρ BH ~ M 9 -2 g/cm 3, ρ DM ~ z f 10 M g/cm 3 within halo
