Description
Simulations of the early structure formation and the Epoch of
Reionization have now reached sufficient volume, dynamic range
and resolution to make reliable predictions for the fundamental
features and observable signatures of these epochs. I will
review recent progress we have made in this area, which include
performing the largest and most detailed early structure formation
and EoR simulations. I will discuss the various observational
signatures we predict, with a particular focus on the best
observational strategies. I will also present some of our recent
results on the reionization history of the Local Group of galaxies
using constrained simulations of its formation.
