An Exploration of AGN and Stellar Feedback Effects in the Intergalactic Medium via the Low Redshift Lyman-$\alpha$ Forest

Megan Taylor Tillman, Blakesley Burkhart, Stephanie Tonnesen +9

We explore the role of galactic feedback on the low redshift Lyman-$\alpha$ (Ly$\alpha$)~forest ($z\lesssim 2$) statistics and its potential to alter the thermal state of the intergalactic…
