Pre-heating in proto-clusters with Lyman Alpha forest tomography

The Lyman Alpha forest is currently one of the best probes of the neutral gas on large scales at high redshift (z ~ 2-3). The onset of large Lyman Alpha forest tomographic surveys, such as CLAMATO, allows for the study of the influence of different heating mechanisms on the large-scale absorption field. Using simulations, I will show that these 3D tomographic maps can be used to directly probe pre-heating in proto-clusters by looking at the distribution of Lyman Alpha transmission as a function of dark-matter density. This will help to constrain the various models of galaxy and AGN feedback in proto-clusters.
