Warm-hot intergalactic medium contribution to baryonic matter
Context. Hydrodynamical simulations indicate that substantial fraction of baryons in the Universe remains in a diffuse component – Warm-Hot Intergalactic Medium (WHIM). Aims. To determine physical properties (spatial distribution, temperature and density) of WHIM. Methods. Spatial structure of the soft extended X-ray emission surrounding field galaxies is carefully investigated using the XMM-Ne...
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 کاملObservations of the Warm - Hot Intergalactic Medium towards PG
We use Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) and Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) spectra to study intergalactic absorption towards the quasar PG1259+593 (zem = 0.478), with a particular emphasis on the warm-hot intergalactic medium (WHIM). The combined FUSE and STIS spectrum of PG1259+593 covers the full wavelength range between 905 and 1730 Å at a spectral resolution of∼ 25...
متن کاملA Warm Hot Intergalactic Medium towards 3c 120?
We observed the Seyfert I active galaxy/broad line radio galaxy 3C 120 with the Chandra high energy transmission gratings and present an analysis of the soft X-ray spectrum. We identify the strongest absorption feature (detected at > 99.9% confidence) with O VIII Lyα (FWHM = 1010+295 −265 km s −1), blueshifted by −5500± 140 km s−1 from systemic velocity. The absorption may be due to missing bar...
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...
