Hubble Flow Broadening of the Lyman-alpha Forest and its Implications
David H. Weinberg, Lars Hernquist, Neal Katz +2
Lyman-alpha forest lines in QSO spectra have typical widths of 20-50 km/s. Low column density absorbers in cosmological simulations are large, diffuse structures, and the Hubble fl…

Recovery of the mass power spectrum from the Lyman-alpha forest: The effect of ionizing background fluctuations from discrete QSO sources
Rupert Croft
In gravitational instability models, there is a close relationship between most Lyman-alpha absorption and the matter density along the line of sight. Croft et al. (1997) have show…

Characterization of Lyman Alpha Spectra and Predictions of Structure Formation Models: A Flux Statistics Approach
Rupert A. C. Croft, David H. Weinberg, Lars Hernquist +1
In gravitational instability models, \lya absorption arises from a continuous fluctuating medium, so that spectra provide a non-linear one-dimensional ``map'' of the underlying den…
