Water Formation During the Epoch of First Metal Enrichment
arXiv:1503.03475 · doi:10.1088/2041-8205/804/2/L29
Abstract
We demonstrate that high abundances of water vapor could have existed in extremely low metallicity ($10^{-3}$ solar) partially shielded gas, during the epoch of first metal enrichment of the interstellar medium of galaxies at high redshifts.
