Large Scale Structure in the LYα Forest
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 May 2016
Extract
We have conducted a survey of the Lyα forest in the redshift domain 2.15 < z < 3.37 in front of nine QSOs within a 1o field to probe spatial structure along planes perpendicular to the line-of-sight. We find evidence for correlations of the Lyα absorption line wavelengths in the whole redshift range, and, at z > 2.8, of their equivalent widths. Such a correlation is consistent with the emerging picture that Lyα lines arise in filaments or large, flattened structures.
