The Pitfalls of Using Lyα Damping Wings in High-z Galaxy Spectra to Measure the Intergalactic Neutral Hydrogen Fraction
The Ly α damping wing is seen in absorption against the spectra of high-redshift galaxies. Modeling of this wing is a way to measure the volume neutral hydrogen fraction of the Universe, as well as to measure the strength of H i absorption in the form of a damped Ly α absorber (DLA). We use very-hig...
