Hst Proposal Id #10132 Quasar Absorption Lines/Igm

Scientific paper

The reionization of intergalactic helium is thought to have occurred between redshifts of about 3 and 4. The study of HeII Lyman-alpha absorption towards a half-dozen quasars at 2.72.9 SDSS quasars, but with special emphasis on extending helium studies to the highest redshift sightlines. Our proposed approach has already proven successful, and additional sightlines will enable follow-up spectal observations to measure the spectrum and evolution of the ionizing background radiation, the density of intergalactic baryons, and the epoch of reionization of the IGM.
