Tom Theuns: IGM thermal history
When the IGM is highly ionised, the (photo)-heating rate becomes small.

2. Numerical simulations: c) photo-ionisation
Photo-ionisation heating produces a well-defined -T relation in the low-density IGM that produces the Ly-forest. (Hui & Gnedin 1997)

The IGM temperature affects the widths of the Lyman- lines

Tom Theuns: IGM thermal history
Line-width (b) and temperature are relatedColumn-density (NH) and density are relatedHence can determine -T relation

Tom Theuns: IGM thermal history
IGM temperature as function of redshift.
Schaye et al.

Tom Theuns: IGM thermal history
Photo-heating rate is less than adiabatic cooling rate

Tom Theuns: IGM thermal history
If no other heat sources, HI reionization late?
Theuns et al.

Tom Theuns: IGM thermal history
Should we not see temperature fluctuations?
![Page 17: Tom Theuns Institute for Computational Cosmology, Durham, UK Department of Physics, Antwerp, Belgium Groningen 2005 Reionization And the thermal history](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551ac07d550346b2288b533d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Tom Theuns: IGM thermal history
Wavelets are also sensitive to line-widths
Theuns & Zaroubi

Tom Theuns: IGM thermal history
Observed QSO looks similar to simulation with HeII reionisation, but without evidence for T fluctuations.
Theuns et al.Zaldarriaga.

Tom Theuns: IGM thermal history
IGM temperature also affects optical depth (because recombination rate depends on T)

Tom Theuns: IGM thermal history
Sloan DA too noisy to see anything?
Bernardi et al.

Tom Theuns: IGM thermal history
To do list:
better constrain T evolution better constrain fluctuations
other heating sources? (cosmic rays? X-rays? dust?)
Thank you.
