Revisiting the emission line source detection problem in integral field spectroscopic data
Abstract We present a 3‐dimensional matched filtering approach for the blind search of faint emission‐line sources in integral‐field spectroscopic datasets. The filter is designed to account for the spectrally rapidly varying background noise due to the telluric air glow spectrum.

FIREBall-2: The Faint Intergalactic Medium Redshifted Emission Balloon Telescope [PDF]
The Faint Intergalactic Medium Redshifted Emission Balloon (FIREBall) is a mission designed to observe faint emission from the circumgalactic medium of moderate-redshift (z ∼ 0.7) galaxies for the first time.

Effect of the metallicity of the intergalactic medium in the Lyman‐α forest correlation function
Abstract The Lyman‐α (Lyα) forest allows to constraint cosmological parameters at redshifts above 1.8$$ 1.8 $$ using the technique of standard rulers determined by baryon acoustic oscillations. This makes it an important tracer for the study of the universe at high redshift.

Lyman-α transmission properties of the intergalactic medium in the CoDaII simulation [PDF]
The decline in abundance of Lyman-α (Lyα) emitting galaxies at z ≳ 6 is a powerful and commonly used probe to constrain the progress of cosmic reionization.

Cosmic reionization was the last major phase transition of hydrogen from neutral to highly ionized in the intergalactic medium (IGM). Current observations show that the IGM is significantly neutral at z > 7 and largely ionized by z ∼ 5.5.

The trouble with STEAM and why we use it anyway
Abstract As an emerging field of theory, research, and practice, STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) has received attention for its efforts to incorporate the arts into the rubric of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) learning.

On the Electromagnetic Vacuum Origins of Dark Energy, Dark Matter, and Astrophysical Jets
We use a semiclassical version of the Nexus paradigm of quantum gravity in which the quantum vacuum at large scales is dominated by the second quantized electromagnetic field to demonstrate that a virtual photon field can affect the geometric evolution of Einstein manifolds or Ricci solitons.

Consistent modelling of the meta-galactic UV background and the thermal/ionization history of the intergalactic medium [PDF]
Recent observations suggest that hydrogen reionization ends late (|$z$| ≃ 6) and proceeds quickly. We present here a new model of the meta-galactic ultraviolet/X-ray background (UVB) that is consistent with this. It adopts the most recent determinations
