Flash Ionization of the Early Universe by Population III.1 Supermassive Stars

The Population III.1 theory for supermassive black hole formation predicts that a substantial fraction of the early Universe was ionized by supermassive stars at redshifts z  ∼ 20–30, an era we refer to as “The Flash.” This is followed by recombination to a mainly neutral state within a few tens of...
