Measurements of quasar proximity zones with the Ly forest of DESI Y1 quasars

Ryuichiro Hada, Paul Martini, David H. Weinberg +41

The intergalactic medium (IGM) around quasars is shaped by their dense environments and by their excess ionizing radiation, forming a "quasar proximity zone" whose size and anisotr…
