Three independent observational studies have now detected a narrow (\Delta z ~ 0.5) dip centred at z=3.2 in the otherwise smooth redshift evolution of the Lya forest effective optical depth. This feature has previously been interpreted as an indirect... Read More about The evolution of the Lyman-alpha forest effective optical depth following HeII reionisation.
