The Signatures of Large-scale Temperature and Intensity Fluctuations in the Lyman-alpha Forest
Matthew McQuinn, Lars Hernquist, Adam Lidz +1
It appears inevitable that reionization processes would have produced large-scale temperature fluctuations in the intergalactic medium. Using toy temperature models and detailed he…
Testing the Dark Matter Annihilation Model for the WMAP Haze
Matthew McQuinn, Matias Zaldarriaga
Analyses have found a "haze" of anomalous microwave emission surrounding the Galactic Center in the WMAP sky maps. A recent study using Fermi data detected a similar haze in the ga…
Comparison Of Reionization Models: Radiative Transfer Simulations And Approximate, Semi-Numeric Models
Oliver Zahn, Andrei Mesinger, Matthew McQuinn +3
We compare the predictions of four different algorithms for the distribution of ionized gas during the Epoch of Reionization. These algorithms are all used to run a 100 Mpc/h simul…
Promising Observational Methods for Detecting the Epoch of Reionization
Matthew McQuinn
It has been several years since the first detection of Gunn-Peterson troughs in the z > 6 Ly-alpha forest and since the first measurement of the Thomson scattering optical depth th…
The HeI 584 A Forest as a Diagnostic of Helium Reionization
Matthew McQuinn, Eric R. Switzer
We discuss the potential of using the HeI 584 A forest to detect and study HeII reionization. Significant 584 A absorption is expected from intergalactic HeII regions, whereas ther…
