Ringing of the Reionization: A first direct measurement of the intergalactic pressure smoothing scale at redshift z>4.2 as imprinted onto small-scale peculiar velocities in the Lyman-alpha forest

Vid Iršič, Matteo Viel, Martin G. Haehnelt +3

The epoch of reionization leaves detectable imprints in the thermal history of the Universe. In particular, the fast ionization fronts passing over cold gas in the cosmic web overp…

The impact of source and survey modelling on the connection between [O III] emitters and Ly forest transmission at z ~ 6

Luke Conaboy, James S. Bolton, Laura C. Keating +3

James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) surveys of [O III]-emitting galaxies are offering fresh insight into the connection between galaxies and the intergalactic medium at redshift z ~…

An improved model for the effect of correlated Si-III absorption on the one-dimensional Lyman- forest power spectrum

Ke Ma, James S. Bolton, Vid Irsic +2

We present an analysis of Si III absorption and its effect on the 1D Ly forest power spectrum using the Sherwood-Relics hydrodynamical simulation suite. In addition to oscillati…

How probable is the Lyman- damping wing in the spectrum of the redshift z = 5.9896 quasar ULAS J0148+0600?

Fiona Sawyer, James S. Bolton, George D. Becker +5

The shape of the Ly- transmission in the near zone of the redshift quasar ULAS J01480600 (hereafter J0148) is consistent with a damping wing arising from an extend…

The connection between high-redshift galaxies and Lyman transmission in the Sherwood-Relics simulations of patchy reionisation

Luke Conaboy, James S. Bolton, Laura C. Keating +3

Recent work has suggested that, during reionisation, spatial variations in the ionising radiation field should produce enhanced Ly forest transmission at distances of tens of c…

Constraints on Primordial Magnetic Fields from the Lyman-α forest

Mak Pavičević, Vid Iršič, Matteo Viel +5

We present the first constraints on primordial magnetic fields from the Lyman- forest using full cosmological hydrodynamic simulations. At the scales and redshifts probed by the…
