The Intergalactic Medium

open access: yes, 2013
This chapter examines the intergalactic medium (IGM). Although much of astronomy focuses on the luminous material inside galaxies, the majority of matter today—and the vast majority at z > 6—actually lies outside these structures, in the IGM. This material ultimately provides the fuel for galaxy and cluster formation and—because it is much less ...

The thermal history of the intergalactic medium [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2000
At redshifts z ≳ 2, most of the baryons reside in the smooth intergalactic medium which is responsible for the low column density Lyα forest. This photoheated gas follows a tight temperature–density relation which introduces a cut-off in the distribution

Physical conditions in the intergalactic medium [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 1993
Restricted Access.Measurements of the spectrum of the cosmic microwave background radiation by COBE (Cosmic Background Explorer) limit the line integral of the electron pressure in intergalactic gas out to cosmological distances.

Interstellar and Intergalactic Medium

2021
This concise textbook, the first volume in the Ohio State Astrophysics Series, covers all aspects of the interstellar and intergalactic medium for graduate students and advanced undergraduates. This series aims to impart the essential knowledge on a topic that every astrophysics graduate student should know, without going into encyclopedic depth.

The intergalactic medium

Small missions for energetic astrophysics, 1999
It is remarkable that a small space satellite mission can be created that has, potentially, the capability of detection of the dark matter of the universe, and in particular, detection of the intergalactic medium. I describe the approach for such a sample mission, and I also briefly comment on, and illustrate, black holes; black holes represent another

The Intergalactic Medium

1988
The fact that the process of galaxy formation must not necessarily be 100% efficient, raises the possibility that some portion of matter in the Universe lies in the intergalactic space. The aim of this seminar is to show that a hot electron - proton Intergalactic Medium (IGM) can exist, though some points are still unclear.

Baryons in the Diffuse Intergalactic Medium

Space Science Reviews, 2002
The baryon density of the universe Ω B is well measured indirectly from Big-Bang nucleo-synthesis, in particular by recent measurements of the D/H ratio in high-redshift QSO absorption systems. In addition, very recent measurements of the second maximum of the power-spectrum of the CMB fine scale anisotropy allow to constrain Ω B at z ≈ 1000.
