Where the Forest Goes Dark: Halo-centered Characterization of High Column Density Systems with IllustrisTNGtranslating…
arXiv:2609.19235v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: High column density systems of neutral hydrogen (HCDs) --- Lyman limit systems (LLSs), sub-damped and damped Ly$\alpha$ absorbers (DLAs) --- contaminate both the 3D and the 1D statistics of the Ly$\alpha$ forest. Most DLAs are…
