宇宙网中的星系际介质

The intergalactic medium in the cosmic web

Nicolas Tejos

摘要:

星系际介质(IGM)占所有时期重子的90%,但它在宇宙网中的三维分布仍然是未知的。之所以如此,是因为观察IGM主体的唯一可行方法是通过明亮背景源光谱中的介入吸收线系统,这将其表征限制为一维。尽管如此,通过将多个一维IGM信息与三维星系巡天相结合和交叉匹配,可以获得平均的三维图像。在这里,我们提出了我们最近和目前的努力,映射和表征IGM在宇宙网络中使用星系作为示踪剂的基本质量分布。特别是,我们总结了我们的研究结果:(一)IGM周围的恒星形成和非恒星形成星系;(二)IGM内和周围的星系空洞;(三)IGM在星系团间细丝。有了这些数据集,我们可以直接测试宇宙中重子物质结构形成和演化的现代范式。

英文摘要:

The intergalactic medium (IGM) accounts for ~90% of baryons at all epochs and yet its three dimensional distribution in the cosmic web remains mostly unknown. This is so because the only feasible way to observe the bulk of the IGM is through intervening absorption line systems in the spectra of bright background sources, which limits its characterization to being one-dimensional. Still, an averaged three dimensional picture can be obtained by combining and cross-matching multiple one-dimensional IGM information with three-dimensional galaxy surveys. Here, we present our recent and current efforts to map and characterize the IGM in the cosmic web using galaxies as tracers of the underlying mass distribution. In particular, we summarize our results on: (i) IGM around star-forming and non-star-forming galaxies; (ii) IGM within and around galaxy voids; and (iii) IGM in intercluster filaments. With these datasets, we can directly test the modern paradigm of structure formation and evolution of baryonic matter in the Universe.
