Large scale opacity fluctuations in the Lyman alpha forest: evidence for QSOs dominating the ionising UV background at z ~ 5.5-6 ?

Jonathan Chardin, Ewald Puchwein, Martin G. Haehnelt

Lyman-alpha forest data probing the post-reionization Universe shows surprisingly large opacity fluctuations over rather large (50 comoving Mpc/h) spatial scales. We model the…
