热的高能宇宙:失踪的重子和暖热的星系际介质
The Hot and Energetic Universe: The missing baryons and the warm-hot intergalactic medium
摘要:
宇宙大尺度结构的主干是由宇宙尺度上的过程和占主导地位的暗物质的引力相互作用决定的。然而,移动的重子群体塑造了这些结构的外观。理论预测,大多数重子存在于连接星系群和星系团的巨大的非维里化结构中,但目前缺乏观测证据。由于大多数重子都被认为存在于大尺度、热而稀的气相中,X射线为我们提供了理想的工具来推进我们的理解。雅典娜+X射线积分场装置的观测将揭示重子活跃种群的位置、化学成分、物理状态和动力学。
英文摘要:
The backbone of the large-scale structure of the Universe is determined by processes on a cosmological scale and by the gravitational interaction of the dominant dark matter. However, the mobile baryon population shapes the appearance of these structures. Theory predicts that most of the baryons reside in vast unvirialized filamentary structures that connect galaxy groups and clusters, but the observational evidence is currently lacking. Because the majority of the baryons are supposed to exist in a large-scale, hot and dilute gaseous phase, X-rays provide the ideal tool to progress our understanding. Observations with the Athena+ X-ray Integral Field Unit will reveal the location, chemical composition, physical state and dynamics of the active population of baryons.
