The Impact of Molecular Hydrogen Cooling on the Galaxy Formation Threshold
We study the impact of molecular (H _2 ) and atomic (H i ) hydrogen cooling on the galaxy formation threshold. We calculate the fraction of dark matter (DM) halos that exceeds a critical mass required for star formation, M _crit ( z ), as a function of their peak mass. By convolving analytic halo ma...
