Pinpointing the cosmic web between massive galaxy clusters I. The incidence of HI and OVI as WHIM tracers
Karen Martínez-Acosta, Nicolas Tejos, Ismael Pessa +6
At redshift z<1, the CDM paradigm predicts that 40-50\% of baryons reside in the warm-hot intergalactic medium (WHIM) within cosmic web filaments. Characterizing the physi…
SDSS DR17: The Cosmic Slime Value Added Catalog
Matthew C. Wilde, Oskar Elek, Joseph N. Burchett +5
The "cosmic web", the filamentary large-scale structure in a cold dark matter Universe, is readily apparent via galaxy tracers in spectroscopic surveys. However, the underlying dar…
Monte Carlo Physarum Machine: Characteristics of Pattern Formation in Continuous Stochastic Transport Networks
Oskar Elek, Joseph N. Burchett, J. Xavier Prochaska +1
We present Monte Carlo Physarum Machine: a computational model suitable for reconstructing continuous transport networks from sparse 2D and 3D data. MCPM is a probabilistic general…
Thermal Instabilities and Shattering in the High-Redshift WHIM: Convergence Criteria and Implications for Low-Metallicity Strong HI Absorbers
Nir Mandelker, Frank C. van den Bosch, Volker Springel +5
Using a novel suite of cosmological simulations zooming in on a Mpc-scale intergalactic sheet or "pancake" at z~3-5, we conduct an in-depth study of the thermal properties and HI c…
The Power Spectrum of the Lyman- Forest at z < 0.5
Vikram Khaire, Michael Walther, Joseph F. Hennawi +6
We present new measurements of the flux power-spectrum P(k) of the HI Lyman- forest spanning scales k ~ 0.001-0.1 s/km. These results were derived from 65 far ultraviole…
