Diagnosing galactic feedback with line broadening in the low redshift Lyα forest

We compare the low-redshift (z 0.1) Lyα forest from hydrodynamical simulations with data from the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph. We find the tension between the observed number of lines with b-parameters in the range of 25–45 km s−1 and the predictions from simulations that incorporate either vigorou...
