The low density hydrogen and helium in the IGM probed by QSO absorption lines is sensitive to the amplitude and spectral shape of the metagalactic UV background. We use realistic HI and HeII Ly-alpha forest spectra, constructed from state-of-the-art... Read More about Spatial fluctuations in the spectral shape of the UV background at 2.
