Small-scale correlations measured in the Lyman-$\alpha$ (Ly$\alpha$) forest encode information about the intergalactic medium and the primordial matter power spectrum. In this article, we present and implement a simple method to measure the…
High-fidelity modeling of turbulent flows is one of the major challenges in computational physics, with diverse applications in engineering, earth sciences and astrophysics, among many others. The rising popularity of high-fidelity…
We present an improved analytical model to predict the Lyman-alpha forest at the field level in redshift space from the dark matter field, expanding upon the widely-used Fluctuating Gunn-Peterson approximation (FGPA). In particular, we…
We present a new method of finding cosmic voids using tomographic maps of Ly{\alpha} forest flux. We identify cosmological voids with radii of 2 - 12 $h^{-1}$Mpc in a large N-body simulation at $z = 2.5$, and characterize the signal of the…
We discuss the implementation of Bayesian inversion methods in order to recover the properties of the intergalactic medium from observations of the neutral hydrogen Lyman-$\alpha$ absorptions observed in the spectra of high redshift quasars…
We introduce a new set of large scale, high resolution hydrodynamical simulations of the intergalactic medium: the Sherwood simulation suite. These are performed in volumes 10^3-160^3 h^-3 comoving Mpc^{3}, span almost four orders of…
We have applied recent machine learning advances, deep convolutional neural network, to three-dimensional (voxels) soft matter data, generated by Molecular Dynamics computer simulation. We have focused on the structural and phase properties…
We investigate the nature of correlations in the small-scale flux statistics of the Lyman-$\alpha$ (Ly$\alpha$) forest across redshift bins. Understanding these correlations is important for unbiased cosmological and astrophysical parameter…
Accurate simulation of fluid flow in porous media is challenging due to complex pore-space geometries and the computational cost of solving the Navier-Stokes equations. This difficulty is particularly important when repeated simulations are…
I review results obtained from studies of the high-redshift Lyman alpha forest, and present new results from HST/STIS spectra of low-redshift quasars in comparison with cosmological hydrodynamic simulations. The evolution of the Lyman alpha…
We use hydrodynamic simulations to predict correlations between Lya forest absorption and galaxies at redshift z~3. The probability distribution function (PDF) of Lya flux decrements shifts systematically towards higher values in the…
Fuzzy Dark Matter (FDM) represents an alternative and intriguing description of the standard Cold Dark Matter (CDM) fluid, able to explain the lack of direct detection of dark matter particles in the GeV sector and to alleviate small scales…
We present a set of ultra-large particle-mesh simulations of the LyA forest targeted at understanding the imprint of baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) in the inter-galactic medium. We use 9 dark matter only simulations which can, for the…
Studies of cosmological objects should take into account their positions within the cosmic web of large-scale structure. Unfortunately, the cosmic web has only been extensively mapped at low-redshifts ($z<1$), using galaxy redshifts as…
One of the major science goals over the coming decade is to test fundamental physics with probes of the cosmic large-scale structure out to high redshift. Here we present a fully Bayesian approach to infer the three-dimensional cosmic…
We compare the low redshift (z ~ 0.1) Lyman-alpha forest from hydrodynamical simulations with data from the Cosmic Origin Spectrograph (COS). We find tension between the observed number of lines with b-parameters in the range 25-45 km/s and…
The Lyman-alpha (Lya) forest is a unique probe of cosmology and the intergalactic medium at high redshift and small scales. The statistical power of the ongoing Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) demands precise theoretical tools…
The Lyman-$\alpha$ forest is a valuable probe of dark matter models featuring a scale-dependent suppression of the power spectrum as compared to $\Lambda$CDM. In this work, we present a new estimator of the Lyman-$\alpha$ flux power…
We simulate the Lya forest in a standard CDM universe using a 2-level hierarchical grid code to evolve the dark and baryonic matter components self-consistently. We solve the time-dependent ionization equations for hydrogen and helium,…
We present LyMAS2, an improved version of the "Lyman-{\alpha} Mass Association Scheme" aiming at predicting the large-scale 3d clustering statistics of the Lyman-{\alpha} forest (Ly-{\alpha}) from moderate resolution simulations of the dark…
