Abstract
We present first results of the evolution of cold cosmic gas obtained through
a set of state-of-the-art numerical simulations (ColdSIM). We model
time-dependent atomic and molecular non-equilibrium chemistry coupled to HI and
H2 self-shielding, various UV backgrounds as suggested by the recent
literature, H2 dust grain catalysis, photoelectric heating, cosmic-ray
heating, as well as hydrodynamics, star formation and feedback effects. By
means of such non-equilibrium calculations we are finally able to reproduce the
latest HI and H2 observational data. Both observed HI and H2 trends are
well reproduced by our non-equilibrium H2-based star formation modelling.
H2 depletion times remain below the Hubble time and comparable to the
dynamical time at all epochs. These findings suggest that, besides HI,
non-equilibrium H2 analyses are key probes for assessing the cold gas and
the role of UV background radiation.
