Searching for the shadows of giants: the absorption signatures of protoclusters in the Lyman-alpha forest
In this thesis, I use large scale state-of-the-art hydrodynamical cosmological simulations to investigate the Ly-α absorption properties of protocluster regions at redshift z∼2.4. Using the IllustrisTNG simulations, I investigate how the AGNproximity effect and hot, collisionally ionised gas arising...
