The inference of cosmological quantities requires accurate and large hydrodynamical cosmological simulations. Unfortunately, their computational time can take millions of CPU hours for a modest coverage in cosmological scales ($\approx (100…
We extend our super-resolution and emulation framework for cosmological dark matter simulations to include hydrodynamics. We present a two-stage deep learning model to emulate high-resolution (HR-HydroSim) baryonic fields from…
Hydrodynamical cosmological simulations are a powerful tool for accurately predicting the properties of the intergalactic medium (IGM) and for producing mock skies that can be compared against observational data. However, the need to…
The Lyman-$\alpha$ forest offers a unique avenue for studying the distribution of matter in the high redshift universe and extracting precise constraints on the nature of dark matter, neutrino masses, and other $\Lambda$CDM extensions.…
We explore the use of Deep Learning to infer physical quantities from the observable transmitted flux in the Lyman-alpha forest. We train a Neural Network using redshift z=3 outputs from cosmological hydrodynamic simulations and mock…
We present a suite of cosmological N-body simulations with cold dark matter and baryons aiming at modeling the low-density regions of the IGM as probed by the Lyman-$\alpha$ forests at high redshift. The simulations are designed to match…
The inference of astrophysical and cosmological properties from the Lyman-$\alpha$ forest conventionally relies on summary statistics of the transmission field that carry useful but limited information. We present a deep learning framework…
Lyman-$\alpha$(Ly$\alpha$) forest in the spectra of distant quasars encodes the information of the underlying cosmic density field at smallest scales. The modelling of the upcoming large and high-fidelity forest data using cosmological…
This work presents a new physically-motivated supervised machine learning method, Hydro-BAM, to reproduce the three-dimensional Lyman-$\alpha$ forest field in real and in redshift space learning from a reference hydrodynamic simulation,…
We perform for the first time full simulation-based inference on the Lyman-$\alpha$ forest 1D power spectrum. In particular, we consider the prediction of the Lyman-$\alpha$ forest $P_{\rm 1D}(k)$ at $2.0<z<3.5$ from the CAMELS cosmological…
We study the statistics of the Lyman-$\alpha$ forest in a flat LCDM cosmology with the N-body + Eulerian hydrodynamics code Nyx. We produce a suite of simulations, covering the observationally relevant redshift range $2 \leq z \leq 4$. We…
The signature left in quasar spectra by the presence of neutral hydrogen in the Universe allows one to constrain the sum of the neutrino masses with improved sensitivity, with respect to laboratory experiments, and may shed a new light on…
We describe cosmological simulation techniques and their application to studies of cosmic structure formation, with particular attention to recent hydrodynamic simulations of structure in the high redshift universe. Collisionless N-body…
We introduce an efficient and accurate alternative to full hydrodynamic simulations, Hydro-PM (HPM), for the study of the low column density Lyman-alpha forest. It consists of a Particle-Mesh solver, modified to compute, in addition to the…
We test a method to reduce unwanted sample variance when predicting Lyman-$\alpha$ (ly$\alpha$) forest power spectra from cosmological hydrodynamical simulations. Sample variance arises due to sparse sampling of modes on large scales and…
The distribution of absorption lines in the spectra of distant quasars, called the Lyman-$\alpha$ (Ly-$\alpha$) forest, is a unique probe of cosmology and the intergalactic medium at high redshifts and small scales. The statistical power of…
We introduce the Python program THALAS (TensorFlow Hydrodynamics Analysis for Lyman-Alpha Simulations), which maps baryon fields (baryon density, temperature, and velocity) to Ly$\alpha$ optical depth fields in both real space and redshift…
We review recent developments in the theory of the Lyman-alpha forest and their implications for the role of the forest as a test of cosmological models. Simulations predict a relatively tight correlation between the local Lya optical depth…
The Lyman-$\alpha$ forest refers to the series of absorption features observed in the spectra of distant quasars that are produced by neutral hydrogen in the intergalactic medium. Observed over a wide range of redshifts with both ground-…
Observations of the Lyman-$\alpha$ (Ly$\alpha$) forest in spectra of distant quasars enable us to probe the matter power spectrum at relatively small scales. With several upcoming surveys, it is expected that there will be a many-fold…
