Abstract [en]

Small-scale density fluctuations can significantly affect reionization, but are typically modelled quite crudely. Unresolved fluctuations in numerical simulations and analytical calculations are included using a gas clumping factor, typically assumed to be independent of the local environment. In Paper I, we presented an improved, local density-dependent model for the sub-grid gas clumping. Here, we extend this using an empirical stochastic model based on the results from high-resolution numerical simulations which fully resolve all relevant fluctuations. Our model reproduces well both the mean density-clumping relation and its scatter. We applied our stochastic model, along with the mean clumping one and the Paper I deterministic model, to create large-volume realizations of the clumping field, and used these in radiative transfer simulations of cosmic reionization. Our results show that the simplistic mean clumping model delays reionization compared to local density-dependent models, despite producing fewer recombinations overall. This is due to the very different spatial distribution of clumping, resulting in much higher photoionization rates in the latter cases. The mean clumping model produces smaller H II regions throughout most of reionization, but those percolate faster at late times. It also causes a significant delay in the 21-cm fluctuations peak and yields lower non-Gaussianity and many fewer bright pixels in the PDF distribution. The stochastic density-dependent model shows relatively minor differences from the deterministic one, mostly concentrated around overlap, where it significantly suppresses the 21-cm fluctuations, and at the bright tail of the 21-cm PDFs, where it produces noticeably more bright pixels.
