Constraint on intergalactic dust from thermal history of intergalactic medium
We present a new constraint on the amount of dust in the intergalactic medium (IGM) at high redshift. We derive the thermal history of the IGM by taking account of the photoelectric heating by dust grains, and compare it with the thermal history suggested by observations of Lyman α forests. As a result, if the IGM grain size is & 100 Å, the dust-gas mass ratio of the IGM at z & 2 is . 1/100 Gal...
متن کاملIntergalactic dust extinction in hydrodynamic cosmological simulations
Recently Ménard et al. (hereafter MSFR) detected a subtle but systematic change in the mean color of quasars as a function of their projected separation from foreground galaxies, extending to comoving separations of ∼ 10h−1Mpc, which they interpret as a signature of reddening by intergalactic dust. We present theoretical models of this remarkable observation, using smoothed particle hydrodynami...
متن کاملSimulating the Effects of Intergalactic Gray Dust.
Using a high-resolution cosmological hydrodynamic simulation, we present a method to constrain extinction due to intergalactic gray dust based on the observed magnitudes of distant Type Ia supernovae. We apply several simple prescriptions to relate the intergalactic dust density to the gas density in the simulation, thereby obtaining dust extinctions that may be directly compared with the obser...
متن کاملIntergalactic dust and its photoelectric heating
We have examined the dust photoelectric heating in the intergalactic medium (IGM). The heating rate in a typical radiation field of the IGM is represented by Γpe = 1.2 × 10 erg s cm (D/10) (nH/10 cm) (JL/10 −21 erg s cm Hz sr) (T/10 K), where D is the dust-to-gas mass ratio, nH is the hydrogen number density, JL is the mean intensity at the hydrogen Lyman limit of the background radiation, and ...
متن کاملAmount of intergalactic dust: constraints from distant supernovae and thermal history of intergalactic medium
This paper examines the allowed amount of IG (intergalactic) dust, which is constrained by extinction and reddening of distant SNe and thermal history of IGM (intergalactic medium) affected by dust photoelectric heating. Based on the observational cosmic star formation history, we find an upper bound of χ, the mass ratio of the IG dust to the total metal in the Universe, as χ . 0.1 for 10Å . a ...
