Plan for lecture 1: • History : -the first quasar spectra -first theoretical models (all wrong) -CDM cosmology meets the Lya forest • The Lya forest in simulations • The Lya forest as cosmological tool: •Conclusions -the matter power spectrum -constraints on neutrino mass -baryon oscillations
Plan for lecture 2: • Recap : - The physics of the Lya forest • Searching for the ionized baryons: CMB-Lya cross correlations • The Lya forest and the cosmic radiation field • Searching the forest for light echoes from dead quasars • Measuring quasar and galaxy halo masses from the Lya forest around them. • The future of Lya forest studies
