Journal Article
S. Bolton, J., G. Haehnelt, M., Viel, M., & Springel, V. (2005). The Lyman-alpha forest opacity and the metagalactic hydrogen ionization rate at z~2-4. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 357(4), 1178–1188. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2005.08704.x

Estimates of the metagalactic hydrogen ionization rate from the Lyman-alpha forest opacity in QSO absorption spectra depend on the complex density distribution of neutral hydrogen along the line-of-sight. We use a large suite of high resolution hydro... Read More about The Lyman-alpha forest opacity and the metagalactic hydrogen ionization rate at z~2-4.
