FEASTS Combined with Interferometry. IV. Mapping H i Emission to a Limit of NH i = 1017.7 cm−2 in Seven Edge-on Galaxies

The Astrophysical Journal
We present a statistical study of the neutral atomic hydrogen (H i ) gas extending into the circumgalactic medium perpendicular to the disk for seven edge-on galaxies with inclinations above 85° from the FEASTS program with a 3 σ (20 km s ^−1 ) column ...

Discovery of Optically Emitting Circumgalactic Nebulae around the Majority of UV-luminous Quasars at Intermediate Redshift

The Astrophysical Journal
We report the discovery of large, ionized, [O ii ]-emitting circumgalactic nebulae around the majority of 30 UV-luminous quasars at z = 0.4–1.4 observed with deep, wide-field integral field spectroscopy with the Multi-Unit Spectroscopy Explorer (MUSE) by

MUSEQuBES: The Column Density, Covering Fraction, and Mass of O vi-bearing Gas in and Around Low-redshift Galaxies

The Astrophysical Journal
We present a study of O vi -bearing gas around 247 low-mass (median ${\mathrm{log}}_{10}({M}_{\star }/{M}_{\odot })$ = 8.7) galaxies at low redshifts (0.1 < z < 0.7) using background quasars as part of the MUSE Quasar-fields Blind Emitters Survey ...

Accretion-driven turbulence in the circumgalactic medium

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
ABSTRACT Simulations suggest that turbulence is ubiquitous in the circumgalactic medium (CGM), though the source and properties of CGM turbulence is uncertain. Using analytic considerations and hydrodynamic simulations, we study how CGM turbulence is driven by gas accretion, thus providing a baseline for additional turbulence driving ...

Unveiling the Sources of X-Ray Luminosity in DESI Galaxy Groups: Insights from the SRG/eROSITA All-sky Survey

The Astrophysical Journal
We use the first eROSITA all-sky survey to investigate the contributions of active galactic nuclei (AGN) and extended gas to the total X-ray luminosity ( L _X ) of galaxy groups with different halo masses ( M _h ) at different redshifts.

The origin of cold gas in the circumgalactic medium

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Context. The presence of cold gas (T ≲ 104 K) in the circumgalactic medium (CGM) of galaxies has been confirmed in observations and in high-resolution simulations, but its origin is still a puzzle. Possible mechanisms are cold accretion from the intergalactic medium (IGM), clumps embedded in outflows and transported from the disk, and gas detaching ...

Cooling flow solutions for the circumgalactic medium [PDF]

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2019
ABSTRACT In several models of galaxy formation feedback occurs in cycles or mainly at high redshift. At times and in regions where feedback heating is ineffective, hot gas in the galaxy halo is expected to form a cooling flow, where the gas advects inward on a cooling timescale.

The Morphology and Kinematics of a Giant, Symmetric Nebula around a Radio-loud Quasar 3C 57: Extended Rotating Gas or Biconical Outflows?

The Astrophysical Journal
Gas flows between galaxies and the circumgalactic medium play a crucial role in galaxy evolution. When ionized by a quasar, these gas flows can be directly traced as giant nebulae. We present a study of a giant nebula around a radio-loud quasar, 3C 57 at

Cosmic Ray Mediated Thermal Fronts in the Warm-hot Circumgalactic Medium

The Astrophysical Journal
We investigate the 1D plane-parallel front connecting the warm (10 ^4 K) and hot (10 ^6 K) phases of the circumgalactic medium (CGM), focusing on the influence of cosmic rays (CRs) in shaping these transition layers.
