Indications of Large-Scale Gas Heating in a Galaxy Protocluster

According to a recent study published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, an international team of researchers led by scientists at the Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe (Kavli IPMU) have discovered the earliest indication of regions of the universe that were heated to temperatures more characteristic of the intergalactic gas medium, where the majority of atoms in the universe currently reside.
