7 Results: weighing the universe baryons ordinary matter makes up merely 4 percent of the entire mass of the universe dark matter dark energy galaxies and clusters are surrounded by invisible mass an order-of-magnitude more massive than their visible part unknown elementary particles? universe is dominated by even more exotic component! homogeneously fills the universe (unclustered) repulsive force (negative pressure; equation of state:p= ) Einstein s cosmological constant? WHIM and DIOS 7

8 More intriguingly, most of the cosmic baryon dark matter dark energy is also dark baryons composition of cosmic baryons stars hot gas Cosmic Baryon Budget: Fukugita, Hogan & Peebles ApJ 503 (1998) 518 WHIM and DIOS 8

9 99% of the universe is DARK Quite frustrating We finally realized that we have not yet understood 99% of the universe at all! (dark baryons 3%) cosmological observations in the 20 th century have identified previously unknown hierarchy of matter beyond the standard model of particle physics one needs to understand the meaning of cosmological parameters beyond mere precise estimates of their values from how much to why WHIM and DIOS 9

Most abundant other than H and He Good tracers of gas around T= K No other prominent lines in E= eV Not restricted to regions towards background QSOs systematic WHIM survey WHIM and DIOS 12

13 DIOS: Diffuse Intergalactic Oxygen Surveyor A Japanese proposal of a dedicated X-ray mission to search for dark baryons PI: Takaya Ohashi (Tokyo Metropolitan Univ.) + Univ. of Tokyo, JAXA/ISAS, Nagoya Univ., Tokyo Metro. Univ. A dedicated small satellite with cost < 40M USD. Proposed launch in 2008 (not yet approved). Unprecedented energy spectral resolution: E=2eV in soft X-ray band (0.1-1keV) Aim at detection of 30 percent of the total cosmic baryons via Oxygen emission lines. WHIM and DIOS 13

17 Metallicity models Oxygen enrichment scenario in IGM Type-II SNe galaxy wind merging metal pollution in IGM Metallicity of WHIM is quite uncertain Adopted models for metallicity distribution Model I : uniform and constant Z = 0.2 Z solar Model II : uniform and evolving Z = 0.2 Z solar (t/t 0 ) Model III : density-dependent (Aguirre et al. 2001) Z = Z solar (ρ/ρ mean ) 0.33 Model IV Z = 0.02 Z solar (ρ/ρ mean ) 0.3 (galactic wind driven) IV : density-dependent (Aguirre et al. 2001) (radiation pressure driven) WHIM and DIOS 17

18 Creating Mock spectra from light-cone simulation output T=10 7 K T= K T=10 6 K For a given exposure time, convolve the emissivity according to gas density and temperature in (5 /64) 2 pixels over the lightcone Add the Galactic line emission (McCammon et al. 2002) Add the cosmic X-ray X background contribution (power-law+poisson noise) Then statistically subtract the Galactic emission and the CXB and obtain the residual spectra for E=2eV resolution.
