MApping the Most Massive Overdensities Through Hydrogen (MAMMOTH) I: Methodology

Zheng Cai, Xiaohui Fan, Sebastien Peirani +8

Modern cosmology predicts that a galaxy overdensity is associated to a large reservoir of the intergalactic gas, which can be traced by the Ly forest absorption. We have underta…
