Time-dependent ionisation of metals in the intergalactic medium
This thesis presents the results of a study into modelling the ionisation of heavy elements in the intergalactic medium (IGM) by solving the time-dependent ionisation rate equations. An algorithm has been developed which calculates ionisation fractions of the first 30 elements (hydrogen to zinc) as...
