Synchrotron Emission on the Largest Scales: Radio Detection of the Cosmic-Web

arXiv:1106.0362 · doi:10.1007/s12036-011-9114-4

Abstract

Shocks and turbulence generated during large-scale structure formation are predicted to produce large-scale, low surface-brightness synchrotron emission. On the largest scales, this emission is globally correlated with the thermal baryon distribution, and constitutes the "Synchrotron Cosmic- Web". I present the observational prospects and challenges for detecting this faint emission with upcoming SKA pathfinders.
