Molecules are important at high–redshifts, when the first collapsed structures appear with typical temperatures of a few hundred Kelvin. In these chemically pristine clouds, radiative cooling is dominated by H2 molecules. As a result, H2 “astro–Chemistry” is likely to determine the epoch when the first astrophysical objects appear. We summarize results of recent three–dimensional simulations. A discussion of the effects of feedback, and implications for the reionization of the universe is also given.","lang":"eng"}],"OA_type":"green","citation":{"apa":"Abel, T., &#38; Haiman, Z. (2000).
