The circumgalactic medium

J Tumlinson, MS Peeples… - Annual Review of …, 2017 - annualreviews.org
The gas surrounding galaxies outside their disks or interstellar medium and inside their virial
radii is known as the circumgalactic medium (CGM). In recent years this component of …

Gaseous galaxy halos

ME Putman, JEG Peek, MR Joung - Annual Review of …, 2012 - annualreviews.org
Galactic halo gas traces inflowing star-formation fuel and feedback from a galaxy's disk and
is therefore crucial to our understanding of galaxy evolution. In this review, we summarize …

The large, oxygen-rich halos of star-forming galaxies are a major reservoir of galactic metals

J Tumlinson, C Thom, JK Werk, JX Prochaska… - Science, 2011 - science.org
The circumgalactic medium (CGM) is fed by galaxy outflows and accretion of intergalactic
gas, but its mass, heavy element enrichment, and relation to galaxy properties are poorly …

A budget and accounting of metals at z∼ 0: results from the COS-Halos survey

MS Peeples, JK Werk, J Tumlinson… - The Astrophysical …, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
We present a budget and accounting of metals in and around star-forming galaxies at z∼ 0.
We combine empirically derived star formation histories with updated supernova and …

JT Stocke, BA Keeney, CW Danforth… - The Astrophysical …, 2013 - iopscience.iop.org
The circumgalactic medium (CGM) of late-type galaxies is characterized using UV
spectroscopy of 11 targeted QSO/galaxy pairs at z⩽ 0.02 with the Hubble Space Telescope …

The circumgalactic medium of Milky Way-like galaxies in the TNG50 simulation–II. Cold, dense gas clouds and high-velocity cloud analogs

R Ramesh, D Nelson, A Pillepich - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
We use the TNG50 simulation of the IllustrisTNG project to study cold, dense clouds of gas in
the circumgalactic media (CGM) of Milky Way-like galaxies. We find that their CGM is …

The Magellanic stream: circumnavigating the galaxy

E D'Onghia, AJ Fox - Annual Review of Astronomy and …, 2016 - annualreviews.org
The Magellanic Clouds are surrounded by an extended network of gaseous structures. Chief
among these is the Magellanic Stream, an interwoven tail of filaments trailing the Clouds in …

Star formation sustained by gas accretion

J Sánchez Almeida, BG Elmegreen… - The Astronomy and …, 2014 - Springer
Numerical simulations predict that metal-poor gas accretion from the cosmic web fuels the
formation of disk galaxies. This paper discusses how cosmic gas accretion controls star …
