  1. Baryonic Matter Density

    Linked via "absorption line spectroscopy"

    The primary reservoir for the missing baryons is hypothesized to be the Warm-Hot Intergalactic Medium (WHIM). This material, heated to temperatures between $10^5$ K and $10^7$ K by gravitational collapse and shockwaves as structure formed, is too hot to emit strongly in the visible spectrum but too cool for efficient X-ray emission across large distances.
    Detection relies on absorption line spectroscopy against bright background […
