Under these conditions, the 21-cm power spectrum is thus $P_{21} = \tilde{T}_b^2 P_\Psi$, and thus a model of the relation between the density and the ionization is all that is needed for calculating the 21-cm power spectrum.

The analytical model thus consists of the following: For a given efficiency $\zeta$ and minimum halo circular velocity $V_{\rm c}$ at redshift $z$, find the corresponding linear barrier coefficients $\nu$ and $\mu$, calculate the 21-cm correlation function as a function of separation $d$ (where at each $d$ we numerically integrate equation (49) of \citet{b07})), and then Fourier transform to find the power spectrum at the desired values of $k$.
