摘要

We consider the effects connected with the detailed radiative transfer during the epoch of cosmological recombination on the ionization history of our Universe.We focus on the escape of photons from the hydrogen Lymanresonanceat redshifts ,one of two key mechanismsdefining the rate of cosmological recombination. We approach this problem within the standard formulation, and corrections due to two-photon interactions are deferred to another paper.As a main result we show here that within a non-stationary approach to theescape problem, the resulting correction in the free electron fraction, ,is about 1.6-1.8% in the redshift range .Therefore the discussed process results in one of the largest modifications tothe ionization history close to the maximum of Thomson-visibility function atconsidered so far.We prove our results both numerically and analytically, deriving the escapeprobability, and considering both Lymanline emission and line absorption in a way different from the Sobolev approximation.In particular, we give a detailed derivation of the Sobolev escape probability during hydrogen recombination, and explain the underlying assumptions. We then discuss the escape of photons for the case of coherent scattering in the lab frame, solving this problem analytically in the quasi-stationary approximation and also in the time-dependent case.We show here that during hydrogen recombination the Sobolev approximation forthe escape probability is not valid at the level of -10%.This is because during recombination the ionization degree changessignificantly over a characteristic time ,so that atpercent level accuracy the photon distribution is not evolving along asequence of quasi-stationary stages.Non-stationary corrections increase the effective escape by at ,and decrease it by close tothe maximum of the Thomson-visibility function.We also demonstrate the crucial role of line emission and absorption indistant wings (hundreds and thousands of Doppler widths from the resonance) for this effect, and argue that the final answer probably can only be given within a more rigorous formulation ofthe problem using a two- or multi-photon description.Key words: radiative transfer - cosmology: cosmic microwave background - cosmology: early Universe - cosmology: theory - atomic processes - cosmology: cosmological parameters
