A Strong Blend in the Morning: Studying the Circumgalactic Medium Before Cosmic Noon with Strong, Blended Lyman- Forest Systems

Sean Morrison, Debopam Som, Matthew M. Pieri +2

We study of the properties of a new class of circumgalactic medium absorbers identified in the Lyman- forest: "Strong, Blended Lyman-" (or SBLA) absorption systems. We study…

The wide-field, multiplexed, spectroscopic facility WEAVE: Survey design, overview, and simulated implementation

Shoko Jin, Scott C. Trager, Gavin B. Dalton +212

WEAVE, the new wide-field, massively multiplexed spectroscopic survey facility for the William Herschel Telescope, will see first light in late 2022. WEAVE comprises a new 2-degree…

The cross-correlation of galaxies in absorption with the Lyman forest

Ignasi Pérez-Ràfols, Matthew M. Pieri, Michael Blomqvist +3

We present the first clustering measurement of Strong Blended Lyman (SBLA) absorption systems by measuring their cross-correlation with the Lyman forest. SBLAs are a new po…

Baryon acoustic oscillations from the cross-correlation of Ly absorption and quasars in eBOSS DR14

Michael Blomqvist, Hélion du Mas des Bourboux, Nicolás G. Busca +15

We present a measurement of the baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) scale at redshift from the three-dimensional correlation of Lyman- (Ly) forest absorption and quasa…

Baryon acoustic oscillations at z = 2.34 from the correlations of Ly absorption in eBOSS DR14

Victoria de Sainte Agathe, Christophe Balland, Hélion du Mas des Bourboux +16

We measure the imprint of primordial baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) in the correlation function of Ly absorption in quasar spectra from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic…

Spectroscopic QUasar Extractor and redshift (z) EstimatorSQUEzE I: Methodology

Ignasi Pérez-Ràfols, Matthew M. Pieri, Michael Blomqvist +2

We present SQUEzE, a software package to classify quasar spectra and estimate their redshifts. SQUEzE is a random forest classifier operating on the parameters of candidate emissio…
