We use the Sherwood–Relics suite of hybrid hydrodynamical and radiative transfer simulations to model the effect of inhomogeneous reionization on the 1D power spectrum of the Lyman α (Lyα) forest transmitted flux at redshifts 4.2 ≤ z ≤ 5. Relative to... Read More about The effect of inhomogeneous reionization on the Lyman α forest power spectrum at redshift z > 4: implications for thermal parameter recovery.

The mean free path of ionizing photons at 5 < z < 6: evidence for rapid evolution near reionization (2021)
Journal Article
Becker, G. D., D’Aloisio, A., Christenson, H. M., Zhu, Y., Worseck, G., & Bolton, J. S. (2021). The mean free path of ionizing photons at 5 < z < 6: evidence for rapid evolution near reionization. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 508(2), 1853-1869. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stab2696

The mean free path of ionizing photons, λmfp, is a key factor in the photoionization of the intergalactic medium (IGM). At z ≳ 5, however, λmfp may be short enough that measurements towards QSOs are biased by the QSO proximity effect. We present new...

Searching for the shadows of giants II: the effect of local ionisation on the Lyman-alpha absorption signatures of protoclusters at redshift z=2.4 (2021)
Journal Article
Miller, J., Bolton, J., & Hatch, N. (2021). Searching for the shadows of giants II: the effect of local ionisation on the Lyman-alpha absorption signatures of protoclusters at redshift z=2.4. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 506(4), 6001-6013. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stab2083

Local variations in the intergalactic medium (IGM) neutral hydrogen fraction will affect the Ly α absorption signature of protoclusters identified in tomographic surveys. Using the IllustrisTNG simulations, we investigate how the AGN proximity effect...

The detectability of strong 21-cm forest absorbers from the diffuse intergalactic medium in late reionization models (2021)
Journal Article

The detectability of strong 21-cm forest absorbers from the diffuse intergalactic medium in late reionization models. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 506(4), 5818–5835. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stab1830

A late end to reionization at redshift z ≈ 5.3 is consistent with observed spatial variations in the Ly α forest transmission and the deficit of Ly α emitting galaxies around extended Ly α absorption troughs at z = 5.5. In this model, large islands o... Read More about The detectability of strong 21-cm forest absorbers from the diffuse intergalactic medium in late reionization models.
