Virial clouds evolution from the last scattering upto the formation of first stars

Abstract

The asymmetry in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) towards several nearby galaxies detected by Planck data is probably due to the rotation of "cold gas" clouds present in the galactic halos. In 1995 it had been proposed that galactic halos are populated by pure molecular hydrogen clouds which are in equillibrium with the CMB. More recently, it was shown that the equillibrium could be stable. Nevertheless, the cloud chemical composition is still a matter to be studied. To investigate this issue we need to trace the evolution of these virial cloud from the time of their formation to the present, and to confront the model with the observational data. The present paper is a short summary of a paper [1]. Here we only concentrate on the evolution of these clouds from the last scattering surface (LSS) up to the formation of first generation of stars (population-III stars).
