Journal ArticleDOI

Hints, neutrino bounds, and WDM constraints from SDSS DR14 Lyman-α and Planck full-survey data

TL;DR: In this article, the spectral index of the Lyman-α forest 1D flux power spectrum is used to estimate the neutrino mass under weak lensing constraints on (Ωm,σ8) and has the same small tension with Planck.
Journal ArticleDOI

New Constraints on IGM Thermal Evolution from the Lyα Forest Power Spectrum

TL;DR: In this paper, the thermal evolution of the intergalactic medium (IGM) over 3 Gyr of cosmic time 1.8 l z l 5.4 by comparing measurements of the Ly forest power spectrum to a suite of 70 hydrodynamical simulations was determined.
Journal ArticleDOI

New Constraints on IGM Thermal Evolution from the Ly{\alpha} Forest Power Spectrum.

TL;DR: In this paper, the thermal evolution of the intergalactic medium (IGM) over cosmic time was determined by comparing measurements of the Lyalpha forest power spectrum to a suite of hydrodynamical simulations.
Journal ArticleDOI

A New Measurement of the Temperature-density Relation of the IGM from Voigt Profile Fitting

TL;DR: Hiss et al. as mentioned in this paper decompose the Lyman-α (Lyα) forest of an extensive sample of 75 high signal-to-noise ratio and high-resolution quasar spectra into a collection of Voigt profiles.
Journal ArticleDOI

Overview of the Instrumentation for the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument

Behzad Abareshi, +266 more
TL;DR: The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) as mentioned in this paper was designed to explore the nature of dark energy with spectroscopic measurements of 40 million galaxies and quasars and employed the baryon acoustic oscillation method to measure distances from the nearby universe to beyond redshift z > 3.5.
