Cosmic star-formation history

P Madau, M Dickinson - Annual Review of Astronomy and …, 2014 - annualreviews.org
Over the past two decades, an avalanche of new data from multiwavelength imaging and
spectroscopic surveys has revolutionized our view of galaxy formation and evolution. Here we …

The star formation history of field galaxies

P Madau, L Pozzetti, M Dickinson - The Astrophysical Journal, 1998 - iopscience.iop.org
We develop a method for interpreting faint galaxy data which focuses on the integrated light
radiated from the galaxy population as a whole. The emission history of the universe at …

High-redshift galaxies in the Hubble Deep Field: colour selection and star formation history to z ∼ 4

P Madau, HC Ferguson, ME Dickinson… - Monthly Notices of …, 1996 - academic.oup.com
… The technique used to analyse the HDF images we develop in this paper is based on the
theoretical study by Madau (1995) (see also Yoshii & Peterson 1994), and is an extension of …

Massive black holes as population III remnants

P Madau, MJ Rees - The Astrophysical Journal, 2001 - iopscience.iop.org
Recent numerical simulations of the fragmentation of primordial molecular clouds in hierarchical
cosmogonies have suggested that the very first stars (the so-called Population III) may …

21 centimeter tomography of the intergalactic medium at high redshift

P Madau, A Meiksin, MJ Rees - The Astrophysical Journal, 1997 - iopscience.iop.org
We investigate the 21 cm signature that may arise from the intergalactic medium (IGM) prior
to the epoch of full reionization (z> 5). In scenarios in which the IGM is reionized by discrete …

[HTML][HTML] Radiative transfer in a clumpy universe: The colors of high-redshift galaxies

P Madau - … Journal, Part 1 (ISSN 0004-637X), vol. 441, no. 1, p …, 1995 - adsabs.harvard.edu
… In Figure la we plot the distribution p(~c) as a function of the Ly~x line-blanketing optical depth
for … Figure lb depicts p(x) as a function of the continuum opacity alone. The optical depth is …

Radiative transfer in a clumpy universe. III. The nature of cosmological ionizing sources

P Madau, F Haardt, MJ Rees - The Astrophysical Journal, 1999 - iopscience.iop.org
… In Paper I (Madau 1995) we showed how the stochastic attenuation produced by neutral
hydrogen along the line of sight can seriously distort our view of objects at cosmological …

F Haardt, P Madau - arXiv preprint astro-ph/9509093, 1995 - arxiv.org
… In Paper I (Madau 1995), we have assessed the e ects of the stochastic attenuation produced
… From the numerical study of Madau & Meiksin (1994), we derive for thermally broadened …

The great observatories origins deep survey: initial results from optical and near-infrared imaging

This special issue of the Astrophysical Journal Letters is dedicated to presenting initial
results from the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey (GOODS) that are primarily, but not …

Early metal enrichment of the intergalactic medium by pregalactic outflows

P Madau, A Ferrara, MJ Rees - The Astrophysical Journal, 2001 - iopscience.iop.org
… (z \ 3.5) B 0.6 ] 10~12 s~1, which is close to that inferred from quasars (Haardt & Madau
1996). They also show a clear correlation between the HI column, gas temperature, and …
