Recycling the Intergalactic Medium Do Intergalactic HI Clouds Exist ? A recycled IGM talk from the IAU Symposium on Recycling the Intergalactic Medium z = 8 z = 0
The Short Answer: NEUTRAL NO ! Do INTERGALACTIC HI CLOUDS exist ? Hydrogen Do INTERGALACTIC HI CLOUDS exist ? The Short Answer: NO ! z = 8 z = 0
The Short Story: NEUTRAL why should they exist ? Hydrogen INTERGALACTIC HI CLOUDS The Short Story: HI definition … why should they exist ? why should they NOT exist?

F Fate of baryons in small halos… Z = 0 Sea of ionized baryons Early small halo formation… gas expelled by supernovae Late small halo formation… IGM too hot to be captured by a low mass halo Mhalo ~108Mo => Tvir ~ 104.3 K
