Cooking with X-rays: Can X-ray binaries heat the early Universe?
·
Abstract
X-rays from high mass X-ray binaries within the first primordial galaxies likely played a significant role in heating the early Universe at z > 10. Combining observations from next generation X-ray telescopes with upcoming measurements of the cosmic 21-cm signal will have the power to offer important insights into conditions in the early Universe.
