A Measurement of Small Scale Structure in the 2.2 < z < 4.2 Lyman-alpha Forest
Adam Lidz, C. -A. Faucher-Giguere, Aldo Dall'Aglio +5
The amplitude of fluctuations in the Ly-a forest on small spatial scales is sensitive to the temperature of the IGM and its spatial fluctuations. The temperature of the IGM and its…
Redshifted intergalactic 3He+ 8.7 GHz hyperfine absorption
Matthew McQuinn, Eric R. Switzer
Motivated by recent interest in redshifted 21 cm emission of intergalactic hydrogen, we investigate the 8.7 GHz ^2S_{1/2} F=0-1 hyperfine transition of ^3He^+. While the primordial…
The Implications of Gunn-Peterson Troughs in the HeII Lyman-alpha Forest
Matthew McQuinn
Many experts believe that the z ~ 3 HeII Ly-alpha forest will suffer from the same saturation issues as the z ~ 6 HI Ly-alpha forest and, therefore, will not be a sensitive probe o…
In Situ Probes of the First Galaxies and Reionization: Gamma-ray Bursts
Matthew McQuinn, Joshua S. Bloom, Jonathan Grindlay +20
The first structures in the Universe formed at z>7, at higher redshift than all currently known galaxies. Since GRBs are brighter than other cosmological sources at high redshift a…
Cosmology from the Highly-Redshifted 21 cm Line
Steven Furlanetto, Adam Lidz, Abraham Loeb +26
One of the next decade's most exciting prospects is to explore the cosmic "dark ages," during which the first stars in the Universe formed, with the 21 cm line of neutral hydrogen.…
Astrophysics from the Highly-Redshifted 21 cm Line
Steven Furlanetto, Adam Lidz, Abraham Loeb +26
The cosmic dark ages and the epoch of reionization, during which the first generations of stars and galaxies formed, are among the most compelling frontiers of extragalactic astrop…
