Behavior of the Lyα Damping Wings as a Function of Reionization Topology
The damping wing signatures in high-redshift quasars have proven instrumental in studying the epoch of reionization. With the upcoming Euclid mission set to discover many more quasars, it is crucial to explore what this new set of quasars might reveal ...

The SSA22 H i Tomography Survey (SSA22-HIT). I. Data Set and Compiled Redshift Catalog
We conducted a deep spectroscopic survey, named SSA22-HIT, in the SSA22 field with the DEep Imaging MultiObject Spectrograph (DEIMOS) on the Keck telescope, designed to tomographically map high- z H i gas through analysis of Ly α absorption in background

Highly-Ionized Oxygen Absorbers in the Intergalactic Medium
Recent ultraviolet and X-ray observations of intergalactic OVI and OVII absorption systems along lines of sight to bright quasars have opened a new window onto the ``warm-hot intergalactic medium'' (WHIM).

How Did the IGM Become Enriched? [PDF]
The enrichment of the intergalactic medium with heavy elements is a process that lies at the nexus of poorly-understood aspects of physical cosmology.

Gas flows between galaxies and the circumgalactic medium play a crucial role in galaxy evolution. When ionized by a quasar, these gas flows can be directly traced as giant nebulae. We present a study of a giant nebula around a radio-loud quasar, 3C 57 at

Cosmological Blast Waves and the Intergalactic Medium [PDF]
Winds from protogalactic starbursts and quasars can drive shocks that heat, ionize, and enrich the intergalactic medium. The Sedov-Taylor solution for point-like explosions adequately describes these blastwaves early in their development, but as the time since the explosion ($t - t_1$) approaches the age of the universe ($t$), cosmological effects ...

Intergalactic Medium Rotation Measure of Primordial Magnetic Fields
The Faraday rotation effect, quantified by the rotation measure (RM), is a powerful probe of the large-scale magnetization of the Universe—tracing magnetic fields not only on galaxy and galaxy cluster scales but also in the intergalactic medium (IGM ...

The Multiphase Intergalactic Medium towards PKS 2155-304
We study the cluster of H I and O VI absorption systems and the claimed detection of O VIII absorption from the intergalactic medium at z ~ 0.0567, associated with a group of galaxies toward the BL Lac object PKS 2155-304. As measured by spectrographs on

Cosmic neutrino flux and spin flavor oscillations in intergalactic medium
The ultra high energy (UHE) cosmic neutrinos are expected to play a pivotal role in the disquisition of physics beyond the standard model of particle physics as well as serve as an ideal cosmic messengers.

Do Cosmic Rays Heat the Early Intergalactic Medium?
Cosmic rays (CRs) govern the energetics of present-day galaxies and might have also played a pivotal role during the Epoch of Reionization. In particular, energy deposition by low-energy ($E \lesssim 10$ MeV) CRs accelerated by the first supernovae ...
