Evidence for a Massive, Extended Circumgalactic Medium around the Andromeda Galaxy
We demonstrate the presence of an extended and massive circumgalactic medium (CGM) around Messier 31 using archival HST Cosmic Origins Spectrograph ultraviolet spectroscopy of 18 QSOs projected within two virial radii of M31 ( = R 300 vir kpc). We detect absorption from Si III at v 300 150 LSR km s toward all three sightlines at R R 0.2 vir, 3 of 4 sightlines at R R 0.8 1.1 vir , and p...
متن کاملThe Galactic Environment of the Neviii Absorber toward He0226−4110
We report the discovery of a small galaxy system in the vicinity of the NeVIII absorber at z = 0.20701 toward HE0226−4110. The galaxy system consists of two 0.25 L∗ disk galaxies and a 0.05 L∗ galaxy all within ∆v < 300 kms−1 and ρ≤ 200 h−1 physical kpc of the absorber. We consider various scenarios for the origin of the NeVIII absorption, including photo-ionized gas from a AGN, a starburst dri...
متن کاملThe Impact of Galactic Feedback on the Circumgalactic Medium
Galactic feedback strongly affects the way galactic environments are enriched. We examine this connection by performing a suite of cosmological hydrodynamic simulations, exploring a range of parameters based on the galaxy formation model developed in Vogelsberger et al. (2013) (henceforth V13). We examine the effects of AGN feedback, wind mass loading, wind specific energy, and wind metal-loadi...
متن کاملLy Emission from a Lyman Limit Absorber at z = 3 . 036 ?
Deep, 17.8 hours, narrow band imaging obtained at the ESO 3.5m New Technology Telescope has revealed extended (galaxy sized) Ly emission from a high redshift Lyman limit absorber. The absorber is a zabs zem Lyman limit absorber seen in the spectrum of Q1205-30 at zem=3.036. The Ly luminosity of the emission line object is 12–14 1041 h 2 erg s 1 for m=1. The size and morphology of the Ly emitter...
متن کاملA Near-Solar Metallicity, Nitrogen-Deficient Lyman Limit Absorber Associated with two S0 Galaxies
The UV spectrum of the bright quasar PHL 1811 at zem = 0.192 reveals a foreground gas system at z = 0.080923 with logN(H I) = 17.98 ± 0.05. We have determined the abundances of various atomic species in this system from a spectrum covering the wavelength range 1160 to 1730 Å recorded at 7 km s resolution by the E140M grating of STIS on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), supplemented by coverage ...
