The Contribution of AGN Accretion Disks to Hydrogen Reionization
We examine the contribution of high-redshift (z > 6) active galactic nuclei (AGNs) to cosmic hydrogen reionization, by tracing the growth and ionizing output of the first generation of supermassive black holes (SMBHs). Our calculations are anchored to the observed population of z ≃ 6 quasars, and...
