the thinning of Lyman-alpha forest absorption near a quasar's redshift, caused by the quasar's own ionizing radiation and used to estimate the ultraviolet background.

In astrophysics, quasar proximity effect refers to the thinning of Lyman-alpha forest absorption near a quasar's redshift, caused by the quasar's own ionizing radiation and used to estimate the ultraviolet background. This meaning comes from Bajtlik (1988) in The Astrophysical Journal.[1]
