Radiative Transfer Effects on the Lyα Forest
Strong observational evidence for a fluctuating ultraviolet background (UVB) has been accumulating through a number of studies of the H I and He II Lyα forest as well as accurate IGM metallicity measurements. UVB fluctuations could arise both from the inhomogeneous distribution of the ionizing sources and/or from radiative transfer (RT) through the filamentary IGM. In this study we investigate,...
متن کاملLyα ABSORBER CORRELATIONS AND THE “BIAS” OF THE Lyα FOREST
Lyα absorber correlations contain information about the underlying density distribution associated with a particular class of absorbers. As such, they provide an opportunity to independently measure the “bias” of the Lyman alpha forest, i.e. the relationship between H I column density and underlying dark matter density. In these proceedings we use hydrodynamic simulations to investigate whether...
متن کاملStructure in the Lyα Forest
The spatial distribution of Lyα forest absorption systems toward a group of 8, closely spaced QSOs has been analysed and evidence for large scale structure has been found at z = 2.8. Our technique is based on the first and second moments of the transmission probability density function which is capable of identifying and assessing the significance of regions of over-or underdense Lyα absorption...
متن کاملOn 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 Lyα Forest Around High Redshift Galaxies
Motivated by the relative lack of neutral hydrogen around Lyman Break Galaxies deduced from recent observations, we investigate the properties of the Lyα forest around high redshift galaxies. The study is based on improved numerical SPH simulations implementing, in addition to standard processes, a new scheme for multiphase and outflow physics description. Although on large scales our simulatio...
