The COS-Halos Survey: Metallicities in the Low-redshift Circumgalactic Medium∗

JX Prochaska, JK Werk, G Worseck… - The Astrophysical …, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
We analyze new far-ultraviolet spectra of 13 quasars from the~ z 0.2 COS-Halos survey

The origins of the circumgalactic medium in the FIRE simulations

Z Hafen, CA Faucher-Giguère… - Monthly Notices of …, 2019 - academic.oup.com
We use a particle tracking analysis to study the origins of the circumgalactic medium (CGM),
separating it into (1) accretion from the intergalactic medium (IGM),(2) wind from the central …

Detection of magnetic fields in the circumgalactic medium of nearby galaxies using Faraday rotation

V Heesen, SP O'Sullivan, M Brüggen, A Basu… - Astronomy & …, 2023 - aanda.org
Context. The existence of magnetic fields in the circumgalactic medium (CGM) is largely
unconstrained. Their detection is important as magnetic fields can have a significant impact …

X-ray bubbles in the circumgalactic medium of TNG50 Milky Way-and M31-like galaxies: signposts of supermassive black hole activity

A Pillepich, D Nelson, N Truong… - Monthly Notices of …, 2021 - academic.oup.com
The TNG50 cosmological simulation produces X-ray emitting bubbles, shells, and cavities in
the circumgalactic gas above and below the stellar discs of Milky Way-and Andromeda-like …

The extended distribution of baryons around galaxies

JN Bregman, ME Anderson, MJ Miller… - The Astrophysical …, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
We summarize and reanalyze observations bearing on missing galactic baryons, where we
propose a consistent picture for halo gas in L≳ L* galaxies. The hot X-ray-emitting halos are …

Massive warm/hot galaxy coronae as probed by UV/X-ray oxygen absorption and emission. I. Basic model

Y Faerman, A Sternberg, CF McKee - The Astrophysical Journal, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
