N2 - Observations of the Epoch of Reionization are now becoming a distinct
possibility. High-redshift galaxy surveys are discovering galaxies well
into the Epoch of Reionization. However, these observations present a
small portion of the total picture, providing information on only the
brightest objects within the survey. I will discuss two other
observations that can reveal information on reionization history.
Cumulative light from all galaxies, including those numerous galaxies
below the detection limit of high redshift galaxy surveys, would be
present in the Near Infrared Background. Emission from the 21cm line
would originate from neutral areas in the IGM, and would be reveal
information about the early stages of reionization. I will present
theoretical modeling of both the 21cm line and the Near Infrared
Background, and show how these two observations are correlated. This can
help reveal information about the buildup of galaxies, their stellar
populations, and reionization history.
