Abstract

The intergalactic medium (IGM) is a vast and intriguing realm of the cosmos, occupying the immense voids between galaxies. This paper delves into the physics governing the IGM, exploring its composition, temperature, density, and the dynamic processes that shape its properties. By examining the interactions between galaxies and the IGM, as well as its role in the larger cosmological context, we aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of this vital but often overlooked component of the universe.
