Scientific paper

Radiative energy losses by shock waves generated in young galaxies and by the activity of galactic nuclei and quasars may tend to produce hot rarefied 'cavities' in the intergalactic medium, surrounded by dense cool 'walls'. As shock fronts emanating from various activity centers move across, the intergalactic gas will develop an inhomogeneous 'cavern'-type structure composed of interconnected cavities. If structure of this kind were discovered, information might be gained on the density of the undisturbed intergalactic gas.
