35 Outline - What data we got The data sets - How we used them Theoretical framework - What we achieved Results

36 The data sets SDSS vs LUQAS McDonald et al Kim, MV et al SDSS 3035 LOW RESOLUTION LOW S/N LUQAS vs 30 HIGH RESOLUTION HIGH S/N

37 The interpretation: full grid of sims - I SDSS power analysed by forward modelling motivated by the huge amount of data with small statistical errors CMB: Spergel et al. (05) Galaxy P(k): Sanchez & Cole (07) + Flux Power: McDonald (05) data points z=4.2 z=2.2 Cosmological parameters + e.g. bias IGM physics + Parameters describing

38 The interpretation: full grid of sims - II McDonald et al. 05 Tens of thousands of models Monte Carlo Markov Chains - Cosmology - Cosmology - Mean flux - T=T0 (1+δ )γ -1 - Reionization - Metals - Noise - Resolution - Damped Systems - Physics - UV background - Small scales

39 The interpretation: flux derivatives - III Independent analysis of SDSS power The flux power spectrum is a smooth function of k and z Both methods have drawbacks and advantages: 1- McDonald et al. 05 better sample the parameter space 2- Viel & Haehnelt 06 rely on hydro simulations, but probably error bars are underestimated Flux power P F (k, z; p) = P F (k, z; p0) + Σ i=1,n Best fit P F (k, z; pi) pi p = p0 (pi - pi0) p: astrophysical and cosmological parameters but even resolution and/or box size effects if you want to save CPU time

67 Modelling the IGM Dark matter evolution: linear theory of density perturbation + Jeans length LJ ~ sqrt(t/ρ) + mildly non linear evolution Hydrodynamical processes: mainly gas cooling cooling by adiabatic expansion of the universe heating of gaseous structures (reionization) - photoionization by a uniform Ultraviolet Background - Hydrostatic equilibrium of gas clouds dynamical time = 1/sqrt(G ρ) ~ sound crossing time= size /gas sound speed Size of the cloud: > 100 kpc Temperature: ~ 104 K Mass in the cloud: ~ 109 M sun Neutral hydrogen fraction: 10-5 In practice, since the process is mildly non linear you need numerical simulations To get convergence of the simulated flux at the percent level (observed)
