Limits on non-canonical heating and turbulence in the intergalactic medium from the low redshift Lyman-alpha forest
James S. Bolton, Prakash Gaikwad, Martin G. Haehnelt +5
We examine the column density distribution function (CDDF) and Doppler parameter distribution from hydrodynamical simulations and Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS) observations of…
New Constraints on the free-streaming of warm dark matter from intermediate and small scale Lyman- forest data
Vid Iršič, Matteo Viel, Martin G. Haehnelt +12
We present new measurements of the free-streaming of warm dark matter (WDM) from Lyman- flux-power spectra. We use data from the medium resolution, intermediate redshift XQ-100…
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…
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…
Triple-ionised carbon associated with the low-density neutral hydrogen gas at 1.7 < z < 3.3: the integrated N(HI)-N(CIV) relation
Tae-Sun Kim, R. F. Carswell, C. Mongardi +4
From the Voigt profile fitting analysis of 183 intervening CIV systems at 1.7 < z < 3.3 in 23 high-quality UVES/VLT and HIRES/Keck QSO spectra, we find that a majority of CIV syste…
The Properties of Low Redshift Intergalactic O VI Absorbers Determined from High S/N Observations of 14 QSOs with the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph
B. D. Savage, T. -S. Kim, B. P. Wakker +4
We report on the observed properties of the plasma revealed through high signal-to-noise (S/N) observations of 54 intervening O VI absorption systems containing 85 O VI and 133 H I…
The evolution of HI and CIV quasar absorption line systems at 1.9 < z < 3.2
Tae-Sun Kim, Adrian M. Partl, Robert F. Carswell +1
We have investigated the distribution and evolution of ~3100 intergalactic HI absorbers with HI column densities log N(HI) = [12.75, 17.0] at 1.9 < z < 3.2, using 18 high resolutio…
