Scaling the smoothness of the IGM

R. N. Guimarães, P. Petitjean, E. Rollinde +3

We use, for the first time, the Detrend Fluctuation Analysis (DFA) to study the correlation properties of the transmitted flux fluctuations, in the Lyman- (Ly) Forest along t…

Chemical constraints on the contribution of Population III stars to cosmic reionization

Girish Kulkarni, Joseph F. Hennawi, Emmanuel Rollinde +1

Recent studies have highlighted that galaxies at z = 6-8 fall short of producing enough ionizing photons to reionize the IGM, and suggest that Population III stars could resolve th…

The one-dimensional Ly-alpha forest power spectrum from BOSS

Nathalie Palanque-Delabrouille, Christophe Yèche, Arnaud Borde +33

We have developed two independent methods to measure the one-dimensional power spectrum of the transmitted flux in the Lyman- forest. The first method is based on a Fourier tran…

The large-scale Quasar-Lyman α Forest Cross-Correlation from BOSS

Andreu Font-Ribera, Eduard Arnau, Jordi Miralda-Escudé +12

We measure the large-scale cross-correlation of quasars with the Lyman α forest absorption in redshift space, using ~ 60000 quasar spectra from Data Release 9 (DR9) of the Baryon O…

Chemical enrichment of Damped Lyman Alpha systems as a direct constraint on Population III star formation

Girish Kulkarni, Emmanuel Rollinde, Joseph F. Hennawi +1

Damped Ly-alpha absorbers (DLAs) can be used to measure gas-phase metallicities at large cosmological lookback times with high precision. Relative abundances can still be measured…
