Scientific paper

We discuss several observable signatures of the first generation of stars, mini-quasars, and Lyman alpha emitters. We use data from redshifts z < 5, such as the Lymanalpha forest metallicity, the quasar luminosity function, and the abundance of Lyman alpha emitters, and extrapolate to higher redshifts, building on the Press-Schechter theory. We quantify the signatures of the early counterparts of these objects, including the metal enrichment, reionization, radiation background, dust opacity and emission, and Lyman alpha emission they produce, and discuss the possibility of eventually detecting them with forthcoming satellites such as MAP, Planck and NGST.
