accompanying the dissertation
Large-scale filaments and the intergalactic medium
1. The next generation of space-based UV observatories should produce Lyman α intensity maps in order to obtain a new avenue for studying the faint emission from galaxies and the IGM. (Chapter 2)
2. The currently available radio telescopes will allow for a detection of the inte-grated IGM 21 cm signal of bright filaments. (Chapter 3)
3. The SKA will provide the best oppurtunity to obtain robust measurements of the HI content in the IGM of large-scale filaments. (Chapter 4)
4. Baryonic feedback and shock-heating play an important role in locally decreas-ing the neutral fraction of the IGM. (Chapter 4)
5. Measuring the 21 cm emission from the IGM in filaments will provide indepen-dent constraints on the intensity of the UV background. (Chapter 4)
6. There is a significant amount of HI gas in faint galaxies that can be detected in large HI 21 cm galaxy survey data by integrating along the filaments. (Chapter 5) 7. Equations in papers should be thoroughly checked as a part of the peer-review
process.
8. Expect the unexpected when traveling abroad.
9. True friends and family are the people you can rely on in the best and worst of times.
