Lost Baryons at Low Redshift
We review our attempts to discover lost baryons at low redshift with “X-ray forest” of absorption lines from the warm-hot intergalactic medium. We discuss the best evidence to date along the Mrk 421 sightline. We then discuss the missing baryons in the Local Group and the significance of the z=0 absorption systems in X-ray spectra. We argue that the debate over the Galactic vs. extragalactic or...
متن کاملAstrophysical constraints on modifying gravity at large distances
Recently, several interesting proposals were made modifying the law of gravity on large scales, within a sensible relativistic formulation. This allows a precise formulation of the idea that such a modification might account for galaxy rotation curves, instead of the usual interpretation of these curves as evidence for dark matter. Here we summarize several observational constraints that any su...
متن کاملCosmic Streaming Field at Low Redshift
We study the expansion of the nearby Universe using a sample of Type Ia supernovae at redshifts below 0.08. Both the conventional supernova standardization method weighing heavily on the magnitude at optical maximum, and the color based CMAGIC method are employed to put the supernovae on the Hubble diagram. These supernovae allow peculiar velocities of nearby galaxies to be measured at unpreced...
متن کاملThe Extragalactic Ionizing Background at Low Redshift
We present a measurement of the mean intensity of the hydrogen-ionizing background radiation field at low redshift using 906 Lyα absorption lines in 151 quasar spectra from the archives of the Faint Object Spectrograph (FOS) on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). Using a maximum likelihood technique and the best estimates possible for each QSO’s Lyman limit flux and systemic redshift, we find J(ν...
