Numerical simulations of the Warm-Hot Intergalactic Medium
In this paper we review the current predictions of numerical simulations for the origin and observability of the warm hot intergalactic medium (WHIM), the diffuse gas that contains up to 50 per cent of the baryons at z ∼ 0. During structure formation, gravitational accretion shocks emerging from collapsing regions gradually heat the intergalactic medium (IGM) to temperatures in the range T ∼ 10...
متن کاملLost 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 کاملConstraining the thermal history of the Warm – Hot Intergalactic Medium
We have identified a large-scale structure traced by galaxies at z=0.8, within the Lockman Hole, by means of multi-object spectroscopic observations. By using deep XMM images we have investigated the soft X-ray emission from the Warm-Hot Intergalactic Medium (WHIM) expected to be associated with this large-scale structure and we set a tight upper limit to its flux in the very soft 0.2–0.4 keV b...

The number of detected baryons in the Universe at z < 0.5 is much smaller than predicted by standard big bang nucleosynthesis and by the detailed observation of the Lyman alpha forest at red-shift z = 2. Hydrodynamical simulations indicate that a large fraction of the baryons today is expected to be in a " warm-hot " (10 5-10 7 K) filamentary gas, distributed in the intergalactic medium. This g...
