The correlation of the Lyman-alpha forest and metals in close pairs of hight-redshift quasars
F. Coppolani, P. Petitjean, F. Stoehr +6
We derive the transverse flux correlation function in the Lyman-alpha forest at z~2.1 from VLT-FORS observations of a total of 32 pairs of quasars. The shape and correlation length…

The Lyman-alpha forest according to LUQAS
M. Viel, M. Haehnelt, T. -S. Kim +6
We use the LUQAS sample of 27 high resolution, high signal-to-noise QSO absorption spectra (Kim et al. 2004) and the results from Croft et al. (2002) together with a suite of high-…
