Exploring the intergalactic medium with VLT/UVES
S. Cristiani, S. Bianchi, S. D'Odorico +1
The remarkable efficiency of the UVES spectrograph at the VLT has made it possible to push high-resolution, high-S/N ground observations of the Ly-a forest down to z~1.5, gaining n…
Temperature fluctuations in the intergalactic medium
Tom Theuns, Saleem Zaroubi, Tae-Sun Kim +2
The temperature of the low-density intergalactic medium is set by the balance between adiabatic cooling resulting from the expansion of the universe, and photo-heating by the UV-ba…
The contribution of galaxies to the UV ionising background and the evolution of the Lyman forest
Simone Bianchi, Stefano Cristiani, Tae-Sun Kim
We have modelled the evolution of the number of Ly_alpha absorbers with redshift, resulting from the evolution of the ionising background and the Hubble expansion. The contribution…
The Lyman-Alpha Forest at 1.5 < z < 4
Tae-Sun Kim, Stefano Cristiani, Sandro D'Odorico
Using high resolution (R ~ 45000), high S/N (20-50) VLT/UVES observations covering the Lyman-alpha forest at 1.5 < z < 2.4 combined with similar observations at z > 2.4 from the li…
