Physics of the Interstellar and Intergalactic Medium

, 2011
This is a comprehensive and richly illustrated textbook on the astrophysics of the interstellar and intergalactic medium--the gas and dust, as well as the electromagnetic radiation, cosmic rays, and magnetic and gravitational fields, present between the ...

The Intergalactic Medium

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 ...

Observations of the missing baryons in the warm–hot intergalactic medium

Nature, 2018
It has been known for decades that the observed number of baryons in the local Universe falls about 30–40 per cent short1,2 of the total number of baryons predicted3 by Big Bang nucleosynthesis, as inferred4,5 from density fluctuations of the cosmic ...

The Intergalactic Medium [PDF]

open access: possible, 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.

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

Cosmology with the intergalactic medium

Pramana, 1999
We discuss a few new results which points out the importance of the intergalactic medium as a diagnostic for the formation and evolution of galaxies in the Universe. We discuss the recent studies to determine the power spectrum of fluctuation from QSO-absorption line studies, and then some feedback processes from early galaxies which influence the ...
