Revealing reionization with the thermal history of the intergalactic medium: new constraints from the Lyman- flux power spectrum
Elisa Boera, George D. Becker, James S. Bolton +1
We present a new investigation of the thermal history of the intergalactic medium (IGM) during and after reionization using the Lyman- forest flux power spectrum at $4.0\lesssim…

Evidence for Large-Scale Fluctuations in the Metagalactic Ionizing Background Near Redshift Six
George D. Becker, Frederick B. Davies, Steven R. Furlanetto +3
The observed scatter in intergalactic Lyman- opacity at requires large-scale fluctuations in the neutral fraction of the intergalactic medium (IGM) after the expe…
