Fluctuations in this effect can be accounted for by noting that the universe's photoinized gas cannot collapse on scales smaller than the Jeans scale, and applying the Zeldovich approximation can account for deviations in underdense regions according to Reisenegger. This effect is used as evidence that the interstellar medium transitioned to an ionized plasma between 150 million and one billion years after the Big Bang. The first object that showed this effect was observed by Becker, who found an object with z equal to 6.28 in the Sloan Survey, and this effect overshadows ? the Lyman-alpha forest at high redshift. For 10 points, name this feature which is caused by scattering of light by neutral hydrogen in the intergalactic medium, a suppression of wavelengths less than the Lyman-alpha line in quasar spectra.
