Probing the thermal state of the intergalactic medium at z > 5 with the transmission spikes in high-resolution  Ly α forest spectra [PDF]

Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020
We compare a sample of five high-resolution, high S/N  Ly α forest spectra of bright 6 < z < ∼6.5 QSOs aimed at spectrally resolving the last remaining transmission spikes at z > 5 with those obtained from mock absorption spectra from the Sherwoodand ...

A New Constraint on the Simulation of the Intergalactic Medium through the Evolution of the Neutral Hydrogen Fraction in the Epoch of Reionization

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,

Measurements of the z ∼ 6 Intergalactic Medium Optical Depth and Transmission Spikes Using a New z > 6.3 Quasar Sample [PDF]

Astrophysical Journal, 2020
We report new measurements of the intergalactic medium (IGM) Lyα and Lyβ effective optical depth at 5.3 < z < 6.5, using a new sample of quasar sight lines including 32 quasars at 6.308 ≤ z ≤ 7.00.

Multiphase Gas Interactions on Subarcsec Scales in the Shocked Intergalactic Medium of Stephan’s Quintet with JWST and ALMA

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 ...

Hydrodynamic Response of the Intergalactic Medium to Reionization [PDF]

Astrophysical Journal, 2020
The intergalactic medium is expected to clump on scales down to M⊙ before the onset of reionization. The impact of these small-scale structures on reionization is poorly understood despite the modern understanding that gas clumpiness limits the growth of

Intergalactic Medium Dispersion Measures of Fast Radio Bursts Estimated from IllustrisTNG Simulation and Their Cosmological Applications [PDF]

, 2020
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are millisecond-duration radio transients and can be used as a cosmological probe. However, the dispersion measure (DM) contributed by the intergalactic medium (IGM) is hard to distinguish from other components. In this paper, we

Power and the Aerial Sublime in Victor Pelevin

The Russian Review, Volume 82, Issue 4, Page 582-598, October 2023., 2023
Abstract This essay distinguishes flight as a salient trope throughout multiple Pelevin texts: Omon Ra (1992), Chapaev and the Void (1996), Generation P (1999), Empire V (2006), and Love for Three Zuckerbrins (2014). It examines flight through the aesthetics of the sublime—classical, (post)‐Soviet, and postmodern.

Magnetization of the intergalactic medium in the IllustrisTNG simulations: the importance of extended, outflow-driven bubbles [PDF]

Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020
We study the effects of galaxy formation physics on the magnetization of the intergalactic medium (IGM) using the IllustrisTNG simulations. We demonstrate that large-scale regions affected by the outflows from galaxies and clusters contain magnetic ...

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 ...
