Constraints on the intergalactic magnetic field from Fermi/LAT observations of the 'pair echo' of GRB 221009A

Delayed 'pair-echo' signal from interactions of very-high-energy gamma rays in the intergalactic medium can be used for the detection of the intergalactic magnetic field (IGMF). We used the data of the Fermi/LAT telescope coupled with LHAASO observatory me ...

The Cen A galaxy group: Dynamical mass and missing baryons

Oliver Müller

The nearby elliptical galaxy Centaurus A (Cen A) is surrounded by a flattened system of dwarf satellite galaxies with coherent motions. Using a novel Bayesian approach, we measured the mean rotation velocity nu(rot) and velocity dispersion sigma(int) of th ...

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

Alexey Boyarsky, Kyrylo Bondarenko

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 fields ...

Detecting shocked intergalactic gas with X-ray and radio observations

Claudio Gheller

Detecting the thermal and non-thermal emission from the shocked cosmic gas surrounding large-scale structures represents a challenge for observations, as well as a unique window into the physics of the warm-hot intergalactic medium. In this work, we presen ...

A survey of the thermal and non-thermal properties of cosmic filaments

Claudio Gheller

In this paper, we exploit a large suite of ENZO cosmological magneto-hydrodynamical simulations adopting uniform mesh resolution, to investigate the properties of cosmic filaments under different baryonic physics and magnetogenesis scenarios. We exploit an ...

Observation of the 1S-2P Lyman-alpha transition in antihydrogen

Shirit Cohen

In 1906, Theodore Lyman discovered his eponymous series of transitions in the extreme-ultraviolet region of the atomic hydrogen spectrum(1,2). The patterns in the hydrogen spectrum helped to establish the emerging theory of quantum mechanics, which we now ...

Warm-hot baryons comprise 5-10 per cent of filaments in the cosmic web

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Mathilde Jauzac, Céline Tchernin, Richard Massey, Johan Richard

Observations of the cosmic microwave background indicate that baryons account for 5 per cent of the Universe's total energy content(1). In the local Universe, the census of all observed baryons falls short of this estimate by a factor of two(2,3). Cosmolog ...

Neutrino masses and cosmology with Lyman-alpha forest power spectrum

Julien Lesgourgues, Arnaud Borde

We present constraints on neutrino masses, the primordial fluctuation spectrum from inflation, and other parameters of the ACDM model, using the one-dimensional Ly alpha-forest power spectrum measured by [1] from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey ...

Evolution of the observed Ly alpha luminosity function from z=6.5 to z=7.7: evidence for the epoch of reionization?

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Frédéric Courbin, Benjamin Yvan Alexandre Clement

Aims. Ly alpha emitters (LAEs) can be detected out to very high redshifts during the epoch of reionization. The evolution of the LAE luminosity function with redshift is a direct probe of the Ly alpha transmission of the intergalactic medium (IGM), and the ...

ORIGIN: metal creation and evolution from the cosmic dawn

Alexey Boyarsky, Douglas Cameron Watson, Oleg Ruchayskiy, Simone Campana

ORIGIN is a proposal for the M3 mission call of ESA aimed at the study of metal creation from the epoch of cosmic dawn. Using high-spectral resolution in the soft X-ray band, ORIGIN will be able to identify the physical conditions of all abundant elements ...
