E-XQR-30: Evidence for an Increase in the Ionization State of Metal Absorbers from z~6 to z~2
Stephanie Rowlands, R. L. Davies, E. Ryan-Weber +15
We investigate the evolution of the ionization state of metal-enriched gas in and around galaxies near the epoch of reionization using a sample of 488 metal absorption systems at 4…

Updated dark pixel fraction constraints on reionization's end from the Lyman-series forests of XQR-30
Frederick B. Davies, Sarah E. I. Bosman, Valentina D'Odorico +16
The fraction of "dark pixels" in the Ly and other Lyman-series forests at provides a powerful constraint on the end of the reionization process. Any spectral region…

The clustering of C IV and Si IV at the end of reionisation: A perspective from the E-XQR-30 survey
Louise Welsh, Valentina D'Odorico, Fabio Fontanot +14
We aim to study the clustering of metal absorption lines and the structures that they arise in as a function of cosmic time. We focus on C IV and Si IV absorption features that are…
