On the Small-Scale Clustering of the Lyα Forest Clouds
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 trend of correlation amplitudes. Some possible ramifications of these results are discussed.

Detecting the non-Gaussian Spectrum of QSO’s Lyα Absorption Line Distribution
We present an analysis of the non-Gaussianity in the distribution of Lyα forest lines in the QSO absorption spectra. Statistical tests performed on this data indicate that there may be large scale structure even though the power spectrum of the Lyα line distribution on large scales is found to be flat. It is apparent that higher (than two) order statistics are crucial in quantifying the cluster...
متن کاملMultifractal structure of Ly α clouds : An example with the spectrum of QSO 0055 – 26
Lyα forests are usually associated with intergalactic gas clouds intercepting the quasar sight–line. Using as an example the Lyα forest of QSO 0055–26 (zem = 3.66), we show that the probability of observing a line at the velocity difference ∆v has an intermittent structure in the redshift space. On small scales (70 km s ≤ ∆v ≤ 1580 km s) the signature of intermittency appears as a self–similar ...
متن کاملEstimating the continuum of quasars using the articial neural networks
A lot of absorption lines are in the bluewards of Lyα emission line of quasar which is well-known as Lyαforest. Most of absorption lines in this forest belong to the Lyα absorption of the neutral hydrogen in the inter-galactic medium (IGM). For high redshift quasars and in the continuum with low and medium resolution, there are no many regions without absorption, so that, the quasar continuum i...
متن کاملSignatures of Galactic Superwinds: Inhomogeneous Metal Enrichment of the Lyman Alpha Forest
We investigate possible signatures of feedback from galactic superwinds on the metallicity of the Lyα forest, using a set of high resolution hydrodynamic simulations of a Λ cold dark matter model. Simulations produce metals self-consistently, based on one single parameter, the metal yield, which in turn is constrained by metallicity in the intra-cluster gas. We follow metals as a separate densi...

Inspection of power transmission lines using classic experts based methods suffers from disadvantages such as highel level of time and money consumption. Advent of UAVs and their application in aerial data gathering help to decrease the time and cost promenantly. The purpose of this research is to present an efficient automated method for inspection of power transmission lines based on point c...
