The Lyα Forest Power Spectrum from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey

We measure the power spectrum, P F ( k , z ), of the transmitted flux in the Lyα forest using 3035 high-redshift quasar spectra from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. This sample is almost 2 orders of magnitude larger than any previously available data set, yielding statistical errors of ~0.6% and ~0.00... View More
