A Glimpse at Quasar Host Galaxy Far-UV Emission, Using DLAs as Natural Coronagraphs

Zheng Cai, Xiaohui Fan, Pasquier Noterdaeme +12

In merger-driven models of massive galaxy evolution, the luminous quasar phase is expected to be accompanied by vigorous star formation in quasar host galaxies. In this paper, we u…

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…

Fitting Methods for Baryon Acoustic Oscillations in the Lyman-α Forest Fluctuations in BOSS Data Release 9

David Kirkby, Daniel Margala, Anže Slosar +22

We describe fitting methods developed to analyze fluctuations in the Lyman-α forest and measure the parameters of baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO). We apply our methods to BOSS D…

Measurement of Baryon Acoustic Oscillations in the Lyman-alpha Forest Fluctuations in BOSS Data Release 9

Anže Slosar, Vid Iršič, David Kirkby +41

We use the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) Data Release 9 (DR9) to detect and measure the position of the Baryonic Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) feature in the three-di…

Baryon Acoustic Oscillations in the Ly-α forest of BOSS quasars

Nicolás G. Busca, Timothée Delubac, James Rich +59

We report a detection of the baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) feature in the three-dimensional correlation function of the transmitted flux fraction in the \Lya forest of high-red…

The large-scale cross-correlation of Damped Lyman Alpha Systems with the Lyman Alpha Forest: First Measurements from BOSS

Andreu Font-Ribera, Jordi Miralda-Escudé, Eduard Arnau +11

We present the first measurement of the large-scale cross-correlation of Lyman alpha forest absorption and Damped Lyman alpha systems (DLA), using the 9th Data Release of the Baryo…

The Lyman-alpha forest in three dimensions: measurements of large scale flux correlations from BOSS 1st-year data

Anže Slosar, Andreu Font-Ribera, Matthew M. Pieri +34

Using a sample of approximately 14,000 z>2.1 quasars observed in the first year of the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS), we measure the three-dimensional correlation…
