2 1. IGM tracing structure interconnecting galaxies Agertz, Teyssier, Moore 29 5 pkpc 3. Galaxy properties depend on recent gas flow (in/out) 4. Star forming galaxies fed by cold streams from Cosmic Web 2. Most baryons in IGM, Some in warm IGM 5. Star forming galaxies are ejecting gas & chemicals into Cosmic Web

3 Why Emission? Scale θ Size L = θd Mass M Overdensity δ Density n i = N i /L Ionization Γ/n Total density n = f(γ, n i ) Pressure p=nkt Filling Factor f Temperature T pressure Heating/cooling balance Timescales cooling t cool ~ T/nL Collapse time t ~ δ -1/2 Morphology outflows/inflows shocks, filaments Gas Kinematics Divergence Rotation Correlation of IGM w/ galaxies, AGN - Circum-galactic medium - Gas reservoirs - Inflow, accretion - Outflow, feedback Large Scale Structure Mapping large scale structure statistics P(k) v v r δ k phases (non-gaussian?)
