Gas around galaxy haloes: Methodology comparisons using hydrodynamical simulations of the intergalactic medium (2014)
Journal Article

© 2014 The Authors Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the Royal Astronomical Society. We perform cosmological simulations of the intergalactic medium (IGM) at redshift z ~ 3 using the numerical gravity-hydrodynamics codes GADGET-3 and...

Heating and ionization of the primordial intergalactic medium by high mass x-ray binaries (2014)
Journal Article

We investigate the influence of high-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs) on their high-redshift environments. Using a one-dimensional radiative transfer code, we predict the ionization and temperature profiles surrounding a coeval stellar population, compose...

Suite of hydrodynamical simulations for the Lyman-alpha forest with massive neutrinos (2014)
Journal Article

The signature left in quasar spectra by neutral hydrogen in the Universe allows constraining the sum of the neutrino masses with a better sensitivity than laboratory experiments and may shed new light on the neutrino mass hierarchy and the absolute m...

New approach for precise computation of Lyman-alpha forest power spectrum with hydrodynamical simulations (2014)
Journal Article

Current experiments are providing measurements of the flux power spectrum from the Lyman-α forests observed in quasar spectra with unprecedented accuracy. Their interpretation in terms of cosmological constraints requires specific simulations of at l...

The thermal history of the intergalactic medium down to redshift z=1.5: a new curvature measurement (2014)
Journal Article

According to the photoheating model of the intergalactic medium (IGM), He ii reionization is expected to affect its thermal evolution. Evidence for additional energy injection into the IGM has been found at 3 ≲ z ≲ 4, though the evidence for the subs...

A consistent determination of the temperature of the intergalactic medium at redshift z=2.4 (2014)
Journal Article

We present new measurements of the thermal state of the intergalactic medium (IGM) at z∼2.4 derived from absorption line profiles in the Lyα forest. We use a large set of high-resolution hydrodynamical simulations to calibrate the relationship betwee...
