| Distant Metals reveal the Universe's evolution
|
| When did the first sources of light bombard the universe's gas, tearing electrons from atoms in a period known as reionization? A new study uses the metal-filled gas surrounding galaxies to learn more about the important transition.The study was published in the recent journal of American Astronomical Society.After the universe's birth in the hot Big Bang, expansion and cooling allowed the soup of electrons and protons that pervaded space to recombine into neutral hydrogen atoms. But sometime within the first billion years after the Big Bang, these atoms were again ionized by high-energy radiation from the first sources of light in the universe.How and when, exactly, did this period of reionization occur? One way we can seek to answer these questions is by studying the gas that lies both between and immediately around galaxies.While the broadly dispersed intergalactic medium (IGM) consists largely of hydrogen gas, the circumgalactic medium (CGM) immediately around galaxies is a little
