We present an analysis of the evolution of the Lyman-series forest into the epoch of reionization using cosmological radiative transfer simulations in a scenario where reionization ends late. We explore models with different midpoints of reionization and gas temperatures. We find that once the simulations have been calibrated to match the mean flux of the observed Lyman-$\alpha$ forest at $4 6$ will discriminate between different reionization histories. The evolution of the Lyman-$\alpha$ and Lyman-$\gamma$ forests are less promising as a tool for pushing studies of reionization to higher redshifts due to the stronger saturation and foreground contamination, respectively.

用 Ly β 森林约束再电离的后半部分

我们使用宇宙学辐射转移模拟在再电离结束较晚的情况下，分析了莱曼系列森林向再电离时代的演变。我们探索具有不同再电离中点和气体温度的模型。我们发现，一旦模拟被校准以匹配观察到的 Lyman-$\alpha$ 森林的平均通量，$4 6$ 将区分不同的再电离历史。Lyman-$\alpha$ 和 Lyman-$\gamma$ 森林的演变作为将再电离研究推向更高红移的工具不太有希望，因为它们分别具有更强的饱和度和前景污染。
