On the Small-Scale Clustering of the Lyα Forest Clouds
Recent measurements of the autocorrelation function of the Lyα clouds are analyzed from the point of view of a simple model with strong clustering on the small scales. It is shown that this toy model reproduces fairly well the important linear relation between amplitude of the absorber autocorrelation function and neutral hydrogen column density. In addition, it predicts a correct evolutionary ...
متن کاملThe Effect of Large-Scale Power on Simulated Spectra of the Lyα forest
We explore the effects of size of the box that we use for simulations of the intergalactic medium (IGM) at redshift two. We examine six simulations from the hydrodynamic code ENZO using the same cosmological and astrophysical input parameters and cell size, but different box size. We study the CDM distribution and many statistics of the Lyα forest absorption from the IGM. Larger boxes have fewe...
متن کاملConstraints on Cosmological Parameters from the Lyα Forest Power Spectrum and COBE-DMR
We combine COBE-DMR measurements of cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy with a recent measurement of the mass power spectrum at redshift z = 2.5 from Lyα forest data to derive constraints on cosmological parameters and test the inflationary cold dark matter (CDM) scenario of structure formation. By treating the inflationary spectral index n as a free parameter, we are able to find succ...
متن کاملConstraints on the Proton’s Gluon Distribution from Prompt Photon Production
We analyze the capability of prompt photon production in pp and pp̄ collisions to constrain the gluon distribution of the proton, considering data from fixed-target experiments as well as collider measurements. Combined fits are performed to these large-pT direct-γ cross sections and lepton-proton deep-inelastic scattering data in the framework of nextto-leading order perturbative QCD. Special a...
متن کاملLarge-scale Correlation of Mass and Galaxies with the Lyα Forest Transmitted Flux
We present predictions of the correlation between the Lyα forest absorption in quasar spectra and the mass within ∼ 5h Mpc (comoving) of the line of sight, using fully hydrodynamic and hydro-PM numerical simulations of the cold dark matter model supported by present observations. The observed correlation based on galaxies and the Lyα forest can be directly compared to our theoretical results, a...
