Fig. 4

Just as Fig. 2, but now with photodetachment of H− ions by the background radiation field, assumed to be described by a blackbody spectrum with a temperature of Trad = 104 K (left panel) and 105 K (right panel), included. The values of J21 shown in each panel bracket the critical values required to maintain the temperature at ~104 K at a density of 105 cm-3 that are inferred both with and without Lyman α feedback included, as summarized in Table 1. The case shown here assumes ℬ = 1, corresponding to uniform Lyman α emission within the collapsing cloud.
