Lyman-$\alpha$ forest 1D flux power spectrum constraints on QSO-assisted reionization models
Recent JWST observations have revealed a large population of faint Quasi-Stellar Objects (QSOs) at redshifts 4<z<6, including a highly reddened sub-population of Little Red Dots. We exploit the sensitivity of the Lyman-$\alpha$ forest 1D flux power spectrum to thermal fluctuations in the Intergalactic Medium (IGM) to p...
