The effect of inhomogeneous reionization on the Lyman α forest power spectrum at redshift z > 4: implications for thermal parameter recovery (2021)
Journal Article

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

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

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

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.
