Title: Cosmological Reionization by the First Stars under the Hydrogen-Molecule Dissociating Background

Author(s): Kyunjin Ahn

Abstract: We present our priliminary result of a simulation of cosmic reionization, which includes the feedback effect from ionization of hydrogen atoms and dissociation of hydrogen molecules by sources in full dynamic range, from minihalos to atomic-cooling halos. The inhomogeneous growth of ionizing and dissociating background is calculated self-consistently. (The rest is to be determined)
