The Cosmic Ultraviolet Baryon Survey (CUBS). IX. The Enriched Circumgalactic and Intergalactic Medium Around Star-forming Field Dwarf Galaxies Traced by O vi Absorption

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The shallow potential wells of star-forming dwarf galaxies make their surrounding circumgalactic and intergalactic medium (CGM/IGM) sensitive laboratories for studying the inflows and outflows thought to regulate galaxy evolution.

Intergalactic Medium Rotation Measure of Primordial Magnetic Fields

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The Faraday rotation effect, quantified by the rotation measure (RM), is a powerful probe of the large-scale magnetization of the Universe—tracing magnetic fields not only on galaxy and galaxy cluster scales but also in the intergalactic medium (IGM ...

Directly Tracing Cool Filamentary Accretion over >100 kpc into the Interstellar Medium of a Quasar Host at z = 1

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2022
We report the discovery of giant (50−100 kpc) [O ii ] emitting nebulae with MUSE in the field of TXS 0206−048, a luminous quasar at z = 1.13. “Down-the-barrel” UV spectra of the quasar show absorption at velocities coincident with those of the extended ...

Metals in the intergalactic medium [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2005
The absorption lines seen in the spectra of quasars trace gas over a very large range of overdensities, from galaxies to voids and probably account for most of the baryons at high redshift. Once thought to be a chemically pristine remnant of the Big Bang, the Lyman alpha forest has now been shown to contain significant quantities of metals.

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

open access: yesThe 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

The Faint Intergalactic Redshifted Emission Balloon and the Cosmic Web Imager: Two Integral Field Spectrographs Designed to Study Emission from the Intergalactic Medium [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Gas in the intergalactic medium serves as the fuel for galaxies. It carries signatures of galactic feedback, including matter and energy outflows.

Behavior of the Lyα Damping Wings as a Function of Reionization Topology

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The damping wing signatures in high-redshift quasars have proven instrumental in studying the epoch of reionization. With the upcoming Euclid mission set to discover many more quasars, it is crucial to explore what this new set of quasars might reveal ...

Radiative transfer through the intergalactic medium

open access: yes, 2004
We use a probabilistic method to compute the propagation of an ionization front corresponding to the reionization of the intergalactic medium in a Λ-cold dark matter (ΛCDM) cosmology, including both hydrogen and helium.

A Classification Scheme for Quasar Absorption Lines

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present a method to classify intergalactic absorption lines and apply it to 10,772 low-redshift systems. The classification gives the number of components (reflecting the kinematics) in four different ionization phases, using detections and ...
