The Intergalactic Medium [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1982 The density of intergalactic gas may be an important parameter in the formation of extended radio sources. It may range from ∼ 0.1 particle cm−3 in the centres of some rich clusters of galaxies down to 10−8cm−3 or less in intercluster space. The possible influence of the intracluster gas surrounding NGC 1275 on its radio emission is discussed, and the ...

Metals in the intergalactic medium [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2004 We use high spectral resolution (R=45000) and high signal-to-noise ratio (S/N \~ 35-70 per pixel) spectra of 19 high-redshift (2.11. Our observations strongly suggest that the CIV/HI ratio decreases with decreasing tau(HI) with log[tau(CIV)]=1.3xlog[tau(HI)]-3.2. We do not detect CIV absorption statistically associated with gas of tau(HI)<1. However,

The Low-redshift Intergalactic Medium [PDF]
Publications of the Astronomical Society of Australia, 1999 AbstractThe low-redshift Lyα forest of absorption lines provides a probe of large-scale baryonic structures in the intergalactic medium, some of which may be remnants of physical conditions set up during the epoch of galaxy formation. We discuss our recent Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations and interpretation of low-z Lyα clouds toward nearby ...

A hot intergalactic medium? [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 1986 On a de nouveau examine l'hypothese d'un milieu intergalactique chaud produisant le fond RX 5-200 keV, en tenant compte des corrections relativistes pour l'emissivite du gaz, la thermodynamique et la diffusion ...

Dipole distortions in the intergalactic medium [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2019 Abstract Baryonic feedback can significantly modify the spatial distribution of matter on small scales and create a bulk relative velocity between the dominant cold dark matter and the hot gas. We study the consequences of such bulk motions using two high-resolution hydrodynamic simulations, one with no feedback and one with very strong ...

Simulating intergalactic medium reionization [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2003 We have studied the intergalactic medium (IGM) reionization process in its full cosmological context, including structure evolution and a realistic galaxy population. We have used a combination of high-resolution N-body simulations (to describe the dark matter and diffuse gas component), a semi-analytical model of galaxy formation (to track the ...

The Intergalactic Medium [PDF]
Highlights of Astronomy, 1980 Observations of Lyman-α absorption show that any gas present in the space between clusters of galaxies must be hot, and x-ray observations indicate that there may be present gas whose temperature at low redshifts is 4 × 108 K and whose density is about half the critical value for cosmology.
