TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a radiative transfer simulation of cosmic reionization driven by galaxies that reproduces this large scatter and the rapid evolution of the Ly-alpha opacity distribution at 5 ~ 6 Reionization is complete at z=53 in their model, and 50% of the volume of the Universe is ionized at z = 7.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used high-resolution cosmological radiative transfer simulations in large volumes to simulate a long absorption trough in the Ly$\alpha$ forest and found that the troughs are caused by islands of neutral hydrogen.

TL;DR: In this article, a profile fitting procedure for the inverted transmitted flux, $1-F$, similar to the widely used Voigt profile fitting of the transmitted flux $F$ at lower redshifts, was used to characterise the transmission spikes that probe predominately underdense regions of the intergalactic medium (IGM).

TL;DR: The Technicolor Dawn simulations as mentioned in this paper are a suite of cosmological radiation hydrodynamic simulations of the first 1.2 billion years of Earth's history, by modeling a spatially inhomogeneous ultraviolet background.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used high-resolution hydrodynamic simulations to interpret the incidence rate of O´I absorbers at z ∼ 6 as observed by Becker et al.
