STRUCTURE FORMATION MATTEO VIEL INAF and INFN Trieste SISSA LECTURE #4 – March 14th 2011
OUTLINE: LECTURES • Structure formation: tools and the high redshift universe • The dark ages and the universe at 21cm • IGM cosmology at z=2=6 • IGM astrophysics at z=2-6 • 5. Low redshift: gas and galaxies • 6. Cosmological probes LCDM scenario
OUTLINE: LECTURE 4 Galactic winds and metal enrichment The evolution of the UV background The Warm-Hot Intergalactic Medium
GALACTIC WINDS
Galactic winds –I Local galactic winds M82 X-ray Local galactic winds M82 optical and infra-red
Theory: Galactic winds do they destroy the forest ? Galactic winds –II Log overdensity Log Temp Flux Temp. Dens. Theuns, MV, et al, 2002, ApJ, 578, L5
Feedback effects: Galactic winds-IV Line widths distribution Column density distribution function
Metal enrichment CIV systems at z=3 Strong Feedback e=1 ---- Role of the UV background Mori, Ferrara, Madau 2000; Rauch, Haehnelt, Steinmetz 1996; Schaye et al. 2003 Soft background ---- Role of different feedback e=0 e=1 e=0.1
Observations: the POD technique Aguirre,Schaye, Theuns, 2002, ApJ, 576, 1 Cowie & Songaila, 1998, Nature, 394, 44 Pieri & Haehnelt, 2004, MNRAS, 347, 985 Pixel-by-pixel search using higher order transitions
Observations: the POD technique-II NO SCATTER IN THE Z-r relation SCATTER IN THE Z-r relation Good fit to the median but not for the scatter Schaye et al., 2003, ApJ, 596, 768
Observations: the POD technique-III VARIANCE OF THE METALLICITY Lognormal fit Schaye et al., 2003, ApJ, 596, 768
When did the IGM become enriched – II ? Adelberger et al. 2005
GALAXY-IGM CONNECTION - Early or late metal enrichment???? PopIII objects?? Where are the metals? How far can they get? - Search for galactic winds. No definitive proof of galactic winds at high redshift. DEFINITIVE proof will be signatures of outflows in QUASAR PAIRS (within 2yrs)? - Lyman-break proximity effect? Is there still something odd? radiative transfer effects? - Better modelling of the ISM into cosmological hydro simulations ISM-IGM connection
Ionizing background – I t ~ 1/ G-12 With the fluctuating Gunn – Peterson approximation Photoionization rate Bolton, Haehnelt, MV, Springel, 2005, MNRAS, 357, 1178
Ionizing background-II Bolton, Haehnelt, MV, Springel, 2005, MNRAS, 357, 1178
Summary • Metal enrichment: Significant progress made on the • understanding of the IGM-galaxy connection but still: • No proofs of strong galactic winds at high redshfit • No clues of who is polluting the IGM and to what extent. • PopIII? Lyman-break galaxies? • the amplitude, shape of the (fluctuating?) UV background • is quite uncertain
WHIM - I Cen & Ostriker 1999, ApJ, 514, 1L Fukugita, Hogan, Peebles, 1998, ApJ, 503, 518
WHIM - II Possibility of detecting the WHIM in absorption with EDGE (Explorer of Diffuse Emission and Gamma-ray burst Explosions) characterize its physical state, spatial clustering and estimate the baryon mass density of the WHIM. - WHIM models and uncertainties. - Probability of WHIM detections. - WWHIMestimate. - Systematic effects. Joint emission+absorption analysis - Spatial distribution of WHIM and its bias
WHIM: model uncertainties – I To asses model (random+systematic) uncertainties we have used different techniques to simulate WHIM

Metallicity model: Z/Zsun=min(0.2,0.025.r–1/3) Simple star formation prescription. No Feedback. Ions: OVI (KLL), OVIIKa, OVII Kb, OVIII, CV, NeIX, MgXI FeXVII. Hybrid collisional ionization + (X+UV) photoionization. Independent spectra drawn by stacking outputs out to z=0.5 (Dz=0.1)

Summary - WHIM • Best bright background sources ? GRBs • Unambiguous WHIM at detection at z>0 ? Yes • Measuring WWHIM ? Yes. e~20% • Tracing Dark Matter (Wm) ? No • WHIM spatial distribution ? Yes. Emission ..alternative observational strategies are also possible
