The evolution of the intergalactic medium
M McQuinn - Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2016 - annualreviews.org
The bulk of cosmic matter resides in a dilute reservoir that fills the space between galaxies,
the intergalactic medium (IGM). The history of this reservoir is intimately tied to the cosmic …

Sterile neutrino dark matter
We review sterile neutrinos as possible Dark Matter candidates. After a short summary on
the role of neutrinos in cosmology and particle physics, we give a comprehensive overview …
