Abstract

AbstractWe study the possibilities of using line-of-sight projected luminosity density and filament probability fields to find the best locations in the sky to attempt to observe the elusive Warm-Hot Intergalactic Matter (WHIM). We calculate galaxy luminosity fields on a regular grid and then project those to the plane of sky. Column densities are then found by integrating along multiple lines of sight. We also create the projections of the filament probability fields. The results are presented as sky maps of the potentially suitable areas and the corresponding fractions of sky coverage.
