2D genus topology of 21-cm differential brightness temperature during cosmic reionization

Abstract

Planck is already in active operation, and in a few years a detailed CMB anisotropy map will be compiled, surpassing WMAP both in temperature and polarization. The E mode - E mode autocorrelation power spectrum at large scales contains weak but sizable information on the history of cosmic reionization. We show our latest advance of our own simulation of cosmic reionization that incorporates Pop III stars, and provide a forecast for Planck polarization measurement.
