The Ly$\alpha$ forest transmission probability distribution function (PDF) is an established probe of the intergalactic medium (IGM) astrophysics, especially the temperature-density relationship of the IGM. We measure the transmission PDF…

Many different studies have shown that a wealth of cosmological information resides on small, non-linear scales. Unfortunately, there are two challenges to overcome to utilize that information. First, we do not know the optimal estimator…

A combined analysis of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and Lyman-a forest data allows to constrain the matter power spectrum from small scales of about 1 Mpc/h all the way to the horizon scale. The long lever arm and complementarity…
