Title:
Intergalactic shocks

Abstract:
Strong intergalactic shocks are a natural consequence of structure formation in the Universe. The anticipated detection of these shocks will probe large-scale flows, the warm-hot intergalactic medium (IGM), cosmic-ray acceleration, and intergalactic magnetic fields. I will discuss the predicted signatures andimplications of such shocks, and the preliminary signals detected so far.
