Research Abstract

We developed a new cosmological radiation hydrodynamic code, and applied it to the simulations in which formation of galaxies and reionization in the early Universe are consistently solved.
As a result, we found that radiative feedback severely affects the star formation in the galaxies, the escape fraction of ionizing photons from the galaxies, and the clumpiness of intergalactic medium. We also attempted to make a recipe for incorporating these radiative feedback effects into post-processing simulations of reionization.
We showed that simulated UV luminosity functions (LFs) at z>6 reproduce observed UV LFs at the corresponding epoch. We also indicated that faint galaxies, which have not been observed yet, mainly contribute to the reionization.
