The circumgalactic medium

J Tumlinson, MS Peeples… - Annual Review of …, 2017 - annualreviews.org

The physics of the intergalactic medium

AA Meiksin - Reviews of modern physics, 2009 - APS
Intergalactic space is filled with a pervasive medium of ionized gas, the intergalactic medium
(IGM). A residual neutral fraction is detected in the spectra of quasistellar objects at both low …

Radiative transfer in a clumpy universe: Ii. the utraviolet extragalactic background

F Haardt, P Madau - arXiv preprint astro-ph/9509093, 1995 - arxiv.org
We present a detailed calculation of the propagation of AGN-like ionizing radiation through
the intergalactic space. We model the ionization state of absorbing clouds, and show that the …

An empirical characterization of extended cool gas around galaxies using Mg II absorption features

HW Chen, JE Helsby, JR Gauthier… - The Astrophysical …, 2010 - iopscience.iop.org
We report results from a survey of Mg ii absorbers in the spectra of background quasi-stellar
objects (QSOs) that are within close angular distances to a foreground galaxy at z< 0.5 …

Damped Lyα Systems at z< 1.65: The Expanded Sloan Digital Sky Survey Hubble Space Telescope Sample

We present results of our Hubble Space Telescope Cycle 11 survey for low-redshift (z< 1.65)
damped Lyα (DLA) systems in the UV spectra of quasars selected from the Sloan Digital Sky …

The ultraviolet spectrum of MS 1512–CB58: an insight into Lyman-break galaxies

MG II absorption in the spectra of 103 QSOs-Implications for the evolution of gas in high-redshift galaxies

CC Steidel, WLW Sargent - … Series (ISSN 0067-0049), vol. 80 …, 1992 - adsabs.harvard.edu
We have obtained spectra of 103 low-and intermediate-redshift QSOs (roughly half of which
are radio sources) with a resolution of 4-6 A in order to investigate the statistics of Mg II …
