Comparison of hb h P e i from cross-correlation measurements in observations and simulations. The solid red and blue lines are the MTNG and Magneticum simulations, respectively. For the Magneticum simulations we choose "Box2b," which has the highest mass resolution. However, "Box2b" lacks data at z ¼ 0. The data point at z ¼ 0 is from "Box0" and is marked with a star symbol. The points with error bars are previous cross-correlation measurements from observational data [7,12-16].

The statistics of thermal gas pressure are a new and promising probe of cosmology and astrophysics. The large-scale cross-correlation between galaxies and the thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect gives the bias-weighted mean electron pressure, ⟨ b h P e ⟩ . In this paper, we show that ⟨ b h P e ⟩ is sensitive to the amplitude of fluctuations in matter...

... Fig. 2, we compare the mean bias-weighted pressure, hb h P e i, obtained from the MTNG and Magneticum simulations using Eq. (26) with observations. In this section, we consider the low (z < 2) and high (z > 2) redshift regimes of these results. We then present results from the TNG300 simulations to assess the convergence of hb h P e i with ...

... low redshift, the differences between the two simulations are smaller than the current error bars of the observations (Fig. 2). This suggests that the difference in their galaxy formation models has little effect on hb h P e i below z ¼ ...

... A ≃ 0.93 up to z max ≃ 0.75. The last two data points then pull A closer to unity for z max ≃ 1. Although it is still of modest statistical significance, this result is similar to the S 8 tension, or the "lensing is low" problem [84] from the lensing observations. One caveat to our analysis here is that we have assumed that all data points in Fig. 2 are independent, which is probably incorrect. Computing the covariance of data points obtained by different authors is difficult and beyond the scope of this paper, but it would be useful to perform this analysis properly as the measurements become more ...

The kinematic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (kSZ) effect has been detected at z < 1 using various techniques and data sets. The ongoing and upcoming spectroscopic galaxy surveys such as DESI (Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument) and PFS (Prime Focus Spectrograph) will push the detection beyond z = 1, and therefore map the baryon distribution at high redshifts. Such detection can be achieved by both the kSZ stacking and tomography methods. While the two methods are theoretically equivalent, they differ significantly in the probed physics and scales, and required data sets. Taking the combination of PFS and ACT (Atacama Cosmology Telescope) as an example, we build mocks of kSZ and galaxies, quantify the kSZ detection S/N, and compare between the two methods. We segment the PFS galaxies into three redshift bins: 0.6 < z < 1.0, 1.0 < z < 1.6, and 1.6 < z < 2.4. For tomography method, our analysis reveals that the two higher redshift bins exhibit significantly higher S/N ratios, with values of 32 and 28, respectively, compared to the first redshift bin, which yielded an S/N of 8. This is attributed to not only the increasing of electron density with redshifts, but also the larger survey volume and the reduced non-linearity, facilitating velocity reconstruction at higher redshifts. Therefore, the capability of the PFS survey to measure high redshift kSZ effect stands as a substantial advantage over other spectroscopic surveys at lower redshift. The S/N of kSZ stacking largely depends on the number of galaxy groups available from another photometric survey. But in general, its S/N is lower than that of kSZ tomography, largely due to CMB instrument noise and error in galaxy group redshift. Incorporating next-generation CMB surveys like CMB-S4, characterized by significantly reduced instrument noise and improved angular resolution, is expected to enhance tomographic detection by a factor of ten and stacking detection by fivefold. This future high S/N detection holds the promise of not only providing precise constraints on the overall baryon abundance but also initiating a new insight into baryon distribution.
Firmly anchored on observational data, giant radio lobes from massive galaxies hosting supermassive black holes can exert a major negative feedback effect, by endowing the intergalactic gas with significant magnetic pressure hence retarding or preventing gas accretion onto less massive halos in the vicinity. Since massive galaxies that are largely responsible for producing the giant radio lobes, this effect is expected to be stronger in more overdense large-scale environments, such as proto-clusters, than in underdense regions, such as voids. We show that by redshift z=2 halos with masses up to (10^{11-12}, 10^{12-13})\msun are significantly hindered from accreting gas due to this effect for radio bubble volume filling fraction of , respectively. Since the vast majority of the stars in the universe at form precisely in those halos, this negative feedback process is likely one major culprit for causing the global downturn in star formation in the universe since. It also provides a natural explanation for the rather sudden flattening of the slope of the galaxy rest-frame UV luminosity function around . A cross-correlation between proto-clusters and Faraday rotation measures may test the predicted magnetic field. Inclusion of this external feedback process in the next generation of cosmological simulations may be imperative.

We present the discovery of large radio shells around a massive pair of interacting galaxies and extended diffuse X-ray emission within the shells. The radio data were obtained with the Australian Square Kilometer Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) in two frequency bands centred at 944 MHz and 1.4 GHz, respectively, while the X-ray data are from the XMM-Newton observatory. The host galaxy pair, which consists of the early-type galaxies ESO 184-G042 and LEDA 418116, is part of a loose group at a distance of only 75 Mpc (redshift z = 0.017). The observed outer radio shells (diameter ∼145 kpc) and ridge-like central emission of the system, ASKAP J1914–5433 (Physalis), are likely associated with merger shocks during the formation of the central galaxy (ESO 184-G042) and resemble the new class of odd radio circles (ORCs). This is supported by the brightest X-ray emission found offset from the centre of the Physalis system, instead centered at the less massive galaxy, LEDA 418116. The host galaxy pair is embedded in an irregular envelope of diffuse light, highlighting on-going interactions. We complement our combined radio and X-ray study with high-resolution simulations of the circumgalactic medium (CGM) around galaxy mergers from the Magneticum project to analyse the evolutionary state of the Physalis system. We argue that ORCs / radio shells could be produced by a combination of energy release from the central AGN and subsequent lightening up in radio emission by merger shocks traveling through the CGM of these systems.
