Stellar Mass–Dispersion Measure Correlations Constrain Baryonic Feedback in Fast Radio Burst Host Galaxies

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Low-redshift fast radio bursts (FRBs) enable robust measurements of the host galaxy contribution to the dispersion measure (DM), offering valuable constraints on the circumgalactic medium (CGM) of FRB hosts.

Kinematics of Circumgalactic Gas: Feeding Galaxies and Feedback

, 2019
We present observations of 50 pairs of redshift z ~ 0.2 star-forming galaxies and background quasars. These sightlines probe the circumgalactic medium (CGM) out to half the virial radius, and we describe the circumgalactic gas kinematics relative to the ...

Dynamics of Multiphase Carbon in the Turbulent Circumgalactic Medium

The Astrophysical Journal
The circumgalactic medium (CGM) plays a crucial role in regulating material and energy exchange between galaxies and their environments. The best means of observing this medium is through absorption-line spectroscopy, but we have yet to develop a ...

Characterizing the Circumgalactic Medium in Emission

, 2015
In this thesis I focus on understanding the physical properties of extended Lyman-alpha emitting gas at high redshift, from the circumgalactic medium (CGM) and intergalactic medium (IGM). First, I investigate the physics of giant, luminous Lyman-alpha nebulae known as Lyman alpha blobs (LABs).

A Comprehensive Characterization of Galaxy-cool CGM Connections at z < 0.4 with DESI Year 1 Data

The Astrophysical Journal
We investigate the relationships between the cool circumgalactic medium (CGM), traced by Ca ii absorption lines, and galaxy properties at z

Simulating the Carbon Footprint of Galactic Halos

, 2016
We compare simulations, including the Illustris simulations, to observations of CIV and CII absorption at z=2-4. These are the CIV column density distribution function in the column density range $10^{12} - 10^{15}$ cm$^{-2}$, the CIV equivalent width ...

The Dispersion Measure and Scattering of Fast Radio Bursts: Contributions from Multicomponents, and Clues for the Intrinsic Properties

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are luminous, millisecond-duration transients that offer great potential for probing the Universe, yet their physical origins remain unclear.

The density distribution of accreting cosmic filaments as shaped by Kelvin-Helmholtz instability

, 2019
Cosmic filaments play a crucial role in galaxy evolution transporting gas from the intergalactic medium into galaxies. However, little is known about the efficiency of this process and whether the gas is accreted in a homogenous or clumpy way.

THE HIGHLY IONIZED CIRCUMGALACTIC MEDIUM IS KINEMATICALLY UNIFORM AROUND GALAXIES

The Astrophysical Journal, 2017
ABSTRACT The circumgalactic medium (CGM) traced by O vi  doublet absorption has been found to concentrate along the projected major and minor axes of the host galaxies. This suggests that O vi traces accreting and outflowing gas, respectively, which are key components of ...
