A novel estimator for the equation of state of the IGM by Ly α forest tomography
ABSTRACT We present a novel procedure to estimate the equation of state of the intergalactic medium in the quasi-linear regime of structure formation based on Ly α forest tomography and apply it to 21 high-quality quasar spectra from the UVES_SQUAD survey at redshift z = 2.5. Our estimation is based …
