Physical Properties of the Lyman Alpha Forest in a Cold Dark Matter Cosmology
Yu Zhang, Avery Meiksin, Peter Anninos +1
We discuss the origin and physical nature of the Lya forest absorption systems as found in hydrodynamical simulations of the Intergalactic Medium in a standard Cold Dark Matter cos…
First Structure Formation: I. Primordial Star Forming Regions in hierarchical models
Tom Abel, Peter Anninos, Michael L. Norman +1
We investigate the possibility of very early formation of primordial star clusters from high-σperturbations in cold dark matter dominated structure formation scenarios. For this we…
The Column Density Distribution of the Lyman-Alpha Forest: A Measure of Small Scale Power
Lam Hui, Nickolay Y. Gnedin, Yu Zhang
Absorption lines in the Lyman-alpha forest can be thought of as peaks in neutral hydrogen density along lines of sight. The column density distribution (the number density of absor…
