The physical origin for spatially large scatter of IGM opacity at the end of reionization: The IGM Lyα opacity-galaxy density relation

ABSTRACT The large opacity fluctuations in the z > 5.5 Lyα forest may indicate inhomogeneous progress of reionization. To explain the observed large scatter of the effective Lyα optical depth (τeff) of the intergalactic medium (IGM), fluctuation of UV background (Γ model), or the IGM gas temperat...
