Cosmological radiative transfer for the line-of-sight proximity effect

Aims. We study the proximity effect in the Lyα forest around high redshift quasars as a function of redshift and environment employing a set of 3D continuum radiative transfer simulations. Methods. The analysis is based on dark-matter-only simulations at redshifts 3, 4, and 4.9 and, adopting an effe...
