Warm-hot Intergalactic Medium Associated with the Coma Cluster
Both the power spectrum of the Cosmic Microwave Background and the Big Bang Nucleosynthesis theory combined with observations of light elements imply that the baryon density is about 4.5% of critical. Most of these baryons are observed at redshifts greater than two, but have remained elusive at lower redshifts. Hydrodynamic simulations predict that the low redshift baryons are predominately in ...
متن کاملBaryons in the Warm-hot Intergalactic Medium
Approximately 30− 40% of all baryons in the present day universe reside in a warm-hot intergalactic medium (WHIM), with temperatures between 10 < T < 10 K. This is a generic prediction from six hydrodynamic simulations of currently favored structure formation models having a wide variety of numerical methods, input physics, volumes, and spatial resolutions. Most of these warm-hot baryons reside...
متن کاملTracing the Warm Hot Intergalactic Medium in the Local Universe
We present a simple method for tracing the spatial distribution and predicting the physical properties of the Warm-Hot Intergalactic Medium (WHIM), from the map of galaxy light in the local universe. Under the assumption that biasing is local and monotonic we map the ∼ 2 hMpc smoothed density field of galaxy light into the mass density field from which we infer the spatial distribution of the W...
متن کاملEquilibration processes in the Warm - Hot Intergalactic Medium
The Warm-Hot Intergalactic Medium (WHIM) is thought to contribute about 40 − 50 % to the baryonic budget at the present evolution stage of the universe. The observed large scale structure is likely to be due to gravitational growth of density fluctuations in the post-inflation era. The evolving cosmic web is governed by non-linear gravitational growth of the initially weak density fluctuations ...
متن کاملMissing Baryons in the Warm - Hot Intergalactic Medium
This review briefly discusses the use of UV absorption lines in the spectra of low-redshift QSOs for the study of the physical conditions, metallicity, and baryonic content of the low−z IGM, with emphasis on implications for the missing baryons problem. Current results on the statistics and baryonic content of intervening, low−z O VI and Lyα absorption-line systems are presented with some comme...
