Exploring the Thermal State of the Low-Density Intergalactic Medium at z=3 with an Ultra-High Signal-to-Noise QSO Spectrum
A. Rorai, G. D. Becker, M. G. Haehnelt +11
At low densities the standard ionisation history of the intergalactic medium (IGM) predicts a decreasing temperature of the IGM with decreasing density once hydrogen (and helium) r…
Diagnosing galactic feedback with the line broadening in the low redshift Lyman-alpha forest
M. Viel, M. G. Haehnelt, J. S. Bolton +4
We compare the low redshift (z ~ 0.1) Lyman-alpha forest from hydrodynamical simulations with data from the Cosmic Origin Spectrograph (COS). We find tension between the observed n…
The Detailed Science Case for the Maunakea Spectroscopic Explorer: the Composition and Dynamics of the Faint Universe
Alan McConnachie, Carine Babusiaux, Michael Balogh +173
MSE is an 11.25m aperture observatory with a 1.5 square degree field of view that will be fully dedicated to multi-object spectroscopy. More than 3200 fibres will feed spectrograph…
Inferring the IGM thermal history during reionisation with the Lyman- forest power spectrum at redshift
Fahad Nasir, James S. Bolton, George D. Becker
We use cosmological hydrodynamical simulations to assess the feasibility of constraining the thermal history of the intergalactic medium during reionisation with the Ly forest a…
The Sherwood simulation suite: overview and data comparisons with the Lyman-alpha forest at redshifts 2 < z < 5
James S. Bolton, Ewald Puchwein, Debora Sijacki +5
We introduce a new set of large scale, high resolution hydrodynamical simulations of the intergalactic medium: the Sherwood simulation suite. These are performed in volumes 10^3-16…
Testing the effect of galactic feedback on the IGM at z ~ 6 with metal-line absorbers
Laura C. Keating, Ewald Puchwein, Martin G. Haehnelt +2
We present models of low- and high-ionization metal-line absorbers (O I, C II, C IV and Mg II) during the end of the reionization epoch, at z ~ 6. Using four cosmological hydrodyna…
