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 ...

Hidden Little Monsters: Spectroscopic Identification of Low-mass, Broad-line AGNs at z> 5 with CEERS

Michaela Hirschmann

We report on the discovery of two low-luminosity, broad-line active galactic nuclei (AGNs) at z > 5 identified using JWST NIRSpec spectroscopy from the Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science (CEERS) survey. We detect broad Ha emission in the spectra of bot ...

Exploring and mapping the diffuse interstellar band at 862nm

Shuangqing Liao, Richard Irving Anderson, Mária Süveges, Pablo Jose Fernandez Marcos

Context. Di ffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) are common interstellar absorption features in spectroscopic observations but their origins remain unclear. DIBs play an important role in the life cycle of the interstellar medium (ISM) and can also be used to t ...

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 ...

Constraining the baryonic feedback with cosmic shear using the DES Year-3 small-scale measurements

Eduardo Sanchez, Jonathan Andrew Blazek, Yi Zhang, Binglun Yin

We use the small scales of the Dark Energy Survey (DES) Year-3 cosmic shear measurements, which are excluded from the DES Year-3 cosmological analysis, to constrain the baryonic feedback. To model the baryonic feedback, we adopt a baryonic correction model ...

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 ...

The AGORA High-resolution Galaxy Simulations Comparison Project. III. Cosmological Zoom-in Simulation of a Milky Way-mass Halo

Yves Revaz, Loïc Hausammann, Alessandro Lupi

We present a suite of high-resolution cosmological zoom-in simulations to z = 4 of a 10(12) M (circle dot) halo at z = 0, obtained using seven contemporary astrophysical simulation codes (Art-I, Enzo, Ramses, Changa, Gadget-3, Gear, and Gizmo) widely used ...

Virgo filaments I. Processing of gas in cosmological filaments around the Virgo cluster

Pascale Jablonka, Gianluca Castignani

It is now well established that galaxies have different morphologies, gas contents, and star formation rates (SFR) in dense environments like galaxy clusters. The impact of environmental density extends to several virial radii, and galaxies appear to be pr ...

Towards Efficient and Accurate Numerical Simulations of Galaxies using Task-based Parallelism and Application to Dwarf Galaxies

Loïc Hausammann

Numerical simulations are of a tremendous help to understand the growth of non-linear cosmological structures and how they lead to the formation of galaxies. In recent years, with the goal of improving their prediction power, new hydrodynamical techniques ...

Multiwavelength cross-correlation analysis of the simulated cosmic web

Claudio Gheller

We used magnetohydrodynamical cosmological simulations to investigate the cross-correlation between different observables (i.e. X-ray emission, Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) signal at 21 cm, HI temperature decrement, diffuse synchrotron emission, and Faraday Rota ...

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 ...

Exploiting flux ratio anomalies to probe warm dark matter in future large-scale surveys

Frédéric Courbin, Alexey Boyarsky, David Richard Harvey, Amélie Tamone, Wessel Valkenburg

Flux ratio anomalies in strong gravitationally lensed quasars constitute a unique way to probe the abundance of non-luminous dark matter haloes, and hence the nature of dark matter. In this paper, we identify double-imaged quasars as a statistically effici ...

21-cm observations and warm dark matter models

Alexey Boyarsky, Wessel Valkenburg, Oleg Ruchayskiy

Observations of the redshifted 21-cm signal (in absorption or emission) allow us to peek into the epoch of the "Dark Ages" and the onset of reionization. These data can provide a novel way to learn about the nature of dark matter, in particular, about the ...

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 ...

Deep observation of the NGC1275 region with MAGIC: search of diffuse gamma-ray emission from cosmic rays in the Perseus cluster

Thomas Günther Bretz

Clusters of galaxies are expected to be reservoirs of cosmic rays (CRs) that should produce diffuse gamma-ray emission due to their hadronic interactions with the intra-cluster medium. The nearby Perseus cool-core cluster, identified as the most promising ...

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

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Huanyuan Shan, 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 ...
