Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains the proceedings of the meeting entitled, "The IGM/Galaxy Connection: The Distribution of Baryons at z = 0. " The meeting was held August 8 -10 at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) located in Boulder, Colorado on the foothills of the Rocky Mountains (see conference photo). We organized this meeting because we felt it was time to address the link between galaxies and the intergalactic medium at low redshift. In this vein, we posed several questions to the conference participants: Where are the baryons in the local universe and in what phase do they reside? What signatures of galaxy evolution have been imprinted on the IGM? What percentage of intergalactic gas is left from the galaxy formation process? What does the distribution of baryons at z = 0 tell us about the early universe? The conference was an overwhelming success with lots of friendly interaction and discussion among the participants. At lunch we were treated to splendid views from the NCAR terrace and discussions rang ing from the importance of the LSR, GSR, and LGSR velocity frames to how long the desserts would last with 90 astronomers and the hot Boul der sun. From an inventory of the baryons, to the associations between galaxies and Lya absorbers, to the mechanisms by which galaxies obtain and lose gas, the conference covered many topics. The results of these endeavors are contained in these pages and eloquently summarized by Chris Impey.

This book was released on 2015-09-09 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains the elaborated and updated versions of the 24 lectures given at the 43rd Saas-Fee Advanced Course. Written by four eminent scientists in the field, the book reviews the physical processes related to star formation, starting from cosmological down to galactic scales. It presents a detailed description of the interstellar medium and its link with the star formation. And it describes the main numerical computational techniques designed to solve the equations governing self-gravitating fluids used for modelling of galactic and extra-galactic systems. This book provides a unique framework which is needed to develop and improve the simulation techniques designed for understanding the formation and evolution of galaxies. Presented in an accessible manner it contains the present day state of knowledge of the field. It serves as an entry point and key reference to students and researchers in astronomy, cosmology, and physics.

Download or read book The Circum and Intergalactic Medium and Its Connection to the Large Scale Structure in the Nearby Universe written by Sietske Bouma and published by . This book was released on 2021* with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The majority of baryons in the Universe is believed to reside in the intergalactic medium (IGM). This makes the IGM an important component in understanding cosmological structure formation. It is expected to trace the same dark matter distribution as galaxies, forming structures like filaments and clusters. However, whereas galaxies can be observed to be arranged along these large-scale structures, the spatial distribution of the diffuse IGM is not as easily unveiled. Absorption line studies of quasar (QSO) spectra can help with mapping the IGM, as well as the boundary layer between IGM and galaxies: the circumgalactic medium (CGM). By studying gas in the Local Group, as well as in the IGM, this study aims to get a better understanding of how the gas is linked to the large-scale structure of the local Universe and the galaxies residing in that structure. Chapter 1 gives an introduction to the CGM and IGM, while the methods used in this study are explained in Chapter 2. Chapter 3 starts on a relatively small cosmological scale, namely ...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In November 2005, the 2nd annual Spitzer Science Center international conference was held in Pasadena, California, USA. The purpose of this conference was to provide an overview of the role that infrared imaging and spectroscopy play in revealing the nature of astrophysical environments. Particular emphasis was given to how mid-infrared spectroscopy can disentangle the contribution of star-formation and active galactic nuclei to the bolometric luminosity of individual extragalactic sources. The conference was motivated by the wealth of data from the first two years of operation of the Spitzer Space Telescope but included contributions from ground-based imaging and spectroscopy as well. A wide variety of astrophysical objects were covered, ranging from star-forming regions in local galaxies, including our own, to high redshift galaxies at the epoch of reionization. The conference included 14 review talks, 45 contributed talks, 112 posters, and a brainstorming discussion on what Spitzer should do next. The conference and these proceedings clearly highlight the fundamental role that the infrared plays in providing a more complete picture of galaxy formation and evolution over cosmic time." -- publisher's website.
