Reionization of the Universe Once Inter-Galactic Medium became neutral after recombination (400,000 yrs after big bang) UV photons from first stars and/or QSOs made IGM reionized. UV photons from first stars and/or QSOs made IGM reionized. It has been known that IGM were reionized by z~5 from Ly-alpha forest of QSOs. (Gunn- Peterson test) It has been known that IGM were reionized by z~5 from Ly-alpha forest of QSOs. (Gunn- Peterson test)
