Improving IGM temperature constraints using wavelet analysis on high-redshift quasars

The thermal state of the intergalactic medium (IGM) contains vital information about the epoch of reionization, one of the most transformative yet poorly understood periods in the young universe. This thermal state is encoded in the small-scale structure of Lyman-\(\alpha\) (Ly\(\alpha\)) absorption...
