Asymmetric eROSITA bubbles as the evidence of a circumgalactic medium wind [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2023 The origins of the pair of X-ray bubbles, called eROSITA bubbles (eRBs), detected in the halo of Milky Way are debated. Here, the authors show hydrodynamical simulations suggesting circumgalactic medium wind model can explain asymmetric eRBs.

You Are What You Eat: The Circumgalactic Medium around BreakBRD Galaxies Has Low Mass and Angular Momentum [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Observed breakBRD (“break bulges in red disks”) galaxies are a nearby sample of face-on disk galaxies with particularly centrally concentrated star formation: they have red disks but recent star formation in their centers as measured by the D _n 4000 ...

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The circumgalactic medium (CGM) is often assumed to exist in or near hydrostatic equilibrium, with the regulation of accretion and the effects of feedback treated as perturbations to a stable balance between gravity and thermal pressure.

Detector system challenges of the wide‐field spectroscopic survey telescope (WST)
Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 344, Issue 8-9, October-November 2023., 2023 Abstract The wide‐field spectroscopic survey telescope (WST) is proposed to become the next large optical/near infrared facility for the European southern observatory (ESO) once the extremely large telescope (ELT) has become operational. While the latter is optimized for unprecedented sensitivity and adaptive‐optics assisted image quality over a small ...

The Launching of Cold Clouds by Galaxy Outflows. V. The Role of Anisotropic Thermal Conduction
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Motivated by observations of multiphase galaxy outflows, we explore the impact of isotropic and anisotropic electron thermal conduction on the evolution of radiatively cooled, cold clouds embedded in hot, magnetized winds.

Chemical abundances in the dwarf galaxy NGC 4163 based on the nebular and auroral emission lines
Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 343, Issue 9-10, November-December 2022., 2022 Abstract We constructed an oxygen abundance map and N/O ratio map of the unusually low excitation dwarf irregular galaxy NGC 4163 based on publicly available spectroscopy obtained by the MaNGA survey. We detected auroral emission line [O II]λλ$$ \lambda \lambda $$7320,7330 which allows us to measure chemical abundance by direct Te$$ {\mathrm{T}}_e ...

The Spatial and Emission Properties of the Large [O iii] Emission Nebula Near M31
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Drechsler et al. reported the unexpected discovery of a 1.°5 long [O iii ] emission nebula 1.°2 southeast of the M31 nucleus. Here we present additional images of this large emission arc, called the Strottner–Drechsler–Sainty Object (SDSO), along with ...

DIISC-III. Signatures of Stellar Disk Growth in Nearby Galaxies
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We explore the growth of the stellar disks in 14 nearby spiral galaxies as part of the Deciphering the Interplay between the Interstellar medium, Stars, and the Circumgalactic medium (DIISC) survey.

The Mitchell Spectrograph: Studying Nearby Galaxies with the VIRUS Prototype
Advances in Astronomy, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013 The Mitchell Spectrograph (a.k.a. VIRUS‐P) on the 2.7 m Harlan J. Smith telescope at McDonald Observatory is currently the largest field of view (FOV) integral field unit (IFU) spectrograph in the world (1.7′ × 1.7′). It was designed as a prototype for the highly replicable VIRUS spectrograph which consists of a mosaic of IFUs spread over a 16 ...

Circum-Galactic Medium in the Halo of Quasars
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2017 The properties of circum-galactic gas in the halo of quasar host galaxies are investigated analyzing Mg II 2800 and C IV 1540 absorption-line systems along the line of sight close to quasars.
