Clustering of Ionizing Sources
Abstract
Using existing models for the evolution of clustering we show that the first sources are likely to be highly biased and thus strongly clustered. We compute intensity fluctuations for clustered sources in a uniform IGM. The strong fluctuations imply the universe was reheated and reionized in a highly inhomogeneous fashion.
