Abstract:

We set limits to the amount of intra-supercluster gas in the Shapley Supercluster, using COBE DMR data to search for the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect and HEAO-1 A2 and ROSAT All-Sky Survey data to search for diffuse X-ray emission. We modeled the X-ray emission allowing for known point sources and a gradient in galactic emission. We found no evidence for intra-supercluster gas following a truncated isothermal model distribution. We concluded that the Shapley Supercluster does not hold much more hot () large scale diffuse intra-supercluster gas than the average baryon density derived from standard nucleosynthesis theories. The next generation of satellites may detect gas in the intra-supercluster environment. These satellites will have an important cosmological impact, since they will enable precise estimates of the baryonic content of superclusters.
