    • A Measurement of Small-scale Structure in the 2.2 <= Z <= 4.2 Ly Alpha Forest 

      Lidz, Adam; Faucher-Giguere, Claude-Andre; McQuinn, Matthew; Zaldarriaga, Matias; Hernquist, Lars; Dutta, Suvendra; Dall'Aglio, Aldo; Fechner, Cora, (American Astronomical Society, 2010)
      The amplitude of fluctuations in the Ly alpha forest on small spatial scales is sensitive to the temperature of the intergalactic medium (IGM) and its spatial fluctuations. The temperature of the IGM and its spatial ...

    • Quasi-resonant Theory of Tidal Interactions 

      D'Onghia, Elena; Vogelsberger, Mark; Faucher-Giguere, Claude-Andre; Hernquist, Lars (American Astronomical Society, 2010)
      When a spinning system experiences a transient gravitational encounter with an external perturber, a quasi-resonance occurs if the spin frequency of the victim roughly matches the peak angular speed of the perturber. Such ...
