Turbulence in the Intergalactic Medium [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2011 We study supernova-driven galactic outflows as a mechanism for injecting turbulence in the intergalactic medium (IGM) far from galaxies. To this aim we follow the evolution of a 10^13 Msun galaxy along its merger tree, with carefully calibrated prescriptions for star formation and wind efficiencies.

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The thermal history of the intergalactic medium is full of extremely useful data in the field of astrophysics and cosmology. In other words, by examining this environment in different redshifts, the effects of cosmology and astrophysics can be observed ...

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 Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We combine James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and Hubble Space Telescope imaging with Atacama Large Millimeter Array CO(2–1) spectroscopy to study the highly turbulent multiphase intergalactic medium (IGM) in Stephan’s Quintet on 25–150 pc scales ...

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 ...

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Cosmic reionization was the last major phase transition of hydrogen from neutral to highly ionized in the intergalactic medium (IGM). Current observations show that the IGM is significantly neutral at z > 7 and largely ionized by z ∼ 5.5.

The Origin of Intergalactic Light in Compact Groups of Galaxies
Universe, 2021 We investigate the origin of intergalactic light (IGL) in close groups of galaxies. IGL is hypothesized to be the byproduct of interaction and merger within compact groups.
