Lyman absorption lines in quasar spectra: evidence for gravitationally-confined gas in dark minihaloes
Open accessAbstract
Primordial gas photoionized by a UV background can be gravitationally confined, in stable equilibrium, by minihaloes of dark matter with virial velocities |$\sim\,30\,\text{km}\,\text{s}^{-1}$| which are an inevitable concomitant of the cold dark matter cosmogony. The calculated properties of these clouds suggest that they could account for the forest of Lyman absorption lines found in the spectra of high-z quasars.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
