Overview: 

While baryons compose only 4% the mass-energy of the Universe, they still elude our understanding as the vast majority reside in the circum-halo or inter-galactic media that are difficult to characterize. The distribution of these baryons reflect their accretion into galaxies and subsequent feedback out of galaxies.  The differential distribution of baryons relative to the dark matter also affect cosmological clustering and lensing analyses, and need to be understood to allow precision cosmology at the percent level. Various observational probes including X-rays, quasar absorption-line spectroscopy, the Sunyaev Zel'dovich effects, fast radio bursts etc are maturing and are opening new windows in the cosmic baryons. Meanwhile, hydrodynamical simulations are improving in both resolution and volume, allowing new insights into the baryonic cycle. 

The goal of this meeting at the Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe (IPMU) is to bring together a diverse group of researchers studying the cosmic baryon distribution and its various tracers, as well their implications for both galaxy evolution and cosmology. This will be an opportunity for researchers who may not usually encounter each other to interact with ample time for discussion.

Topics to be discussed include, but are not limited to:

  • Observational techniques probing cosmic baryons (X-ray, SZ, FRBs, and Quasar absorption lines etc)
  • Evolution of cosmic baryons in hydrodynamical simulations and observations
  • Impact of baryonic effects on cosmological analyses
  • Methods to ‘Baryonify’ N-body simulations
  • Future surveys to probe the cosmic baryons and evolution

Format:

This will be a primarily an in-person meeting at Kavli IPMU (Kashiwa, Japan), but we will stream the presentation videos through Zoom (registered users only) and talks will be uploaded to YouTube.
