Lyman Alpha Absorber Correlations and the Bias of the Lyman Alpha Forest
BIAS THE Lyman Alpha Forest
2014/12/26
Lyman alpha absorber correlations contain information about the underlying density distribution associated with a particular class of absorbers. As such, they provide an opportunity to independently m...
We review recent developments in the theory of the Ly forest and their implications for the role of the forest as a test of cosmological models. Simulations predict a relatively tight correlation betw...
Spatial correlation between submillimetre and Lyman-alpha galaxies in the SSA 22 protocluster
submillimetre Lyman-alpha galaxies
2014/12/23
Lyman- emitters are thought to be young, low-mass galaxies with ages of 108 yr (refs 1, 2). An overdensity of them in one region of the sky (the SSA 22 field) traces out a filamentary structure in the...
Pressure support versus thermal broadening in the Lyman alpha forest - I. Effects of the equation of state on longitudinal structure
low-density intergalactic gas temperature
2014/12/22
In the low-density intergalactic medium that gives rise to the Lyman α (Lyα) forest, gas temperature and density are tightly correlated. The velocity scale of thermal broadening and the Hubble flow ac...
Galactic outflows and the kinematics of damped Lyman alpha absorbers
Galactic outflows kinematics
2014/12/22
The kinematics of damped Lyman alpha absorbers (DLAs) are difficult to reproduce in hierarchical galaxy formation models, particularly the preponderance of wide systems. We investigate DLA kinematics ...
We present the highest redshift detections of resolved Ly emission, using Hubble Space Telescope/ACS F658N narrowband-imaging data taken in parallel with the Wide Field Camera 3 Early Release Science...
The intergalactic medium over the last 10 billion years I: Lyman alpha absorption and physical conditions
intergalactic medium hydrodynamic
2014/12/20
The intergalactic medium (IGM) is the dominant reservoir of baryons at all cosmic epochs. We investigate the evolution of the IGM from z=2-0 in 48 Mpc/h, 110-million particle cosmological hydrodynamic...
Local Group progenitors: Lyman Alpha bright?
cosmology: theory, galaxies: individual, galaxies: high redshift galaxies:intergalactic medium
2011/10/20
We present a novel approach of identifying the Milky Way (MW) and Andromeda (M31) progenitors that could be visible as LAEs at z~6: we couple a snapshot from the Constrained Local UniversE Simulations...
Simulations of BAO reconstruction with a quasar Lyman-alpha survey

2011/10/12
The imprint of Baryonic Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) on the matter power spectrum can be constrained using the neutral hydrogen density in the intergalactic medium as a tracer of the matter density. On...
The Lyman-alpha forest in a blazar-heated Universe
cosmology: theory { methods: numerical | intergalactic medium
2011/10/12
It has been realised only recently that TeV emission from blazars can significantly heat the intergalactic medium (IGM) by pair-producing high-energy electrons and positrons, which in turn excite vigo...
The propagation of Lyman-alpha in evolving protoplanetary disks
propagation Lyman-alpha evolving protoplanetary
2011/10/11
We study the role resonant scattering plays in the transport of Lyman-alpha photons in accreting protoplanetary disk systems subject to varying degrees of dust settling. While the intrinsic stellar FU...
Spectroscopic Confirmation of Three z-Dropout Galaxies at z = 6.844 - 7.213: Lyman Alpha Demography of z ~ 7 Galaxies
Spectroscopic Confirmation z-Dropout Galaxies Lyman Alpha Demography z ~ 7 Galaxies
2011/10/10
We present the results of our ultra-deep Keck/DEIMOS spectroscopy of z-dropout galaxies in the SDF and GOODS-N. For 3 out of 11 objects, we detect an emission line at ~ 1um with a signal-to-noise rati...
Predicting the Merger Fraction of Lyman alpha Emitters from Redshift z~3 to z~7
accretion – infrared: galaxies.halo:galaxies
2011/10/9
Rapid mass assembly, likely from mergers or smooth accretion, has been predicted to play a vital role in star-formation in high-redshift Lyman alpha (Lya) emitters. Here we predict the major merger, m...
High-ion absorption in the proximate damped Lyman-alpha system toward Q0841+129
quasars: absorption lines – galaxies: high-redshift – galaxies: halos – galaxies: ISM
2011/10/8
We present VLT/UVES spectroscopy of the quasar Q0841+129, whose spectrum shows a proximate damped Lyman-alpha (PDLA) absorber at z=2.47621 and a proximate sub-DLA at z=2.50620, both lying close in red...
Effect of Dust on Lyman-alpha Photon Transfer in Optically Thick Halo
Effect Photon Transfe Optically Thick
2011/9/30
We investigate the effects of dust on Ly{\alpha} photons emergent from an optically thick medium by solving the integro-differential equation of the radiative transfer of resonant photons. To solve th...
