Abstract
Recently, a recalcitrant problem on galaxy formation has been pointed out that low-mass galaxies are overproduced as compared with observations in the context of the hierarchical bottom-up theory of galaxy formation ([4]; [6]). Photoionization process has been considered as one of such mechanisms ([1];[3]). We solve the frequency-dependent radiative transfer of UV radiation to elucidate the self-shielding of pregalactic clouds from UV background radiation.
