Characterizing the Circumgalactic Medium of Nearby Galaxies with HST/COS and HST/STIS Absorption-Line Spectroscopy

John T. Stocke, Brian A. Keeney, Charles W. Danforth +5

The Circumgalactic Medium (CGM) of late-type galaxies is characterized using UV spectroscopy of 11 targeted QSO/galaxy pairs at z < 0.02 with the Hubble Space Telescope Cosmic Orig…

WR 120bb and WR 120bc: a pair of WN9h stars with possibly interacting circumstellar shells

Sonja Burgemeister, Vasilii V. Gvaramadze, Guy S. Stringfellow +3

Two optically obscured Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars have been recently discovered by means of their infrared (IR) circumstellar shells, which show signatures of interaction with each othe…

A multilayer model for thermal infrared emission of Saturn's rings. III: Thermal inertia inferred from Cassini CIRS

Ryuji Morishima, Linda Spilker, Keiji Ohtsuki

The thermal inertia values of Saturn's main rings (the A, B, and C rings and the Cassini division) are derived by applying our thermal model to azimuthally scanned spectra taken by…

The Scale of the Problem : Recovering Images of Reionization with GMCA

Emma Chapman, Filipe B. Abdalla, J. Bobin +8

The accurate and precise removal of 21-cm foregrounds from Epoch of Reionization redshifted 21-cm emission data is essential if we are to gain insight into an unexplored cosmologic…

On the Significance of Absorption Features in HST/COS Data

Brian A. Keeney, Charles W. Danforth, John T. Stocke +2

We present empirical scaling relations for the significance of absorption features detected in medium resolution, far-UV spectra obtained with the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS)…

Long-time properties of MHD turbulence and the role of symmetries

Joshua E. Stawarz, Annick Pouquet, Marc-Etienne Brachet

We investigate long-time properties of three-dimensional MHD turbulence in the absence of forcing and examine in particular the role played by the quadratic invariants of the syste…

The roles of charge exchange and dissociation in spreading Saturn's neutral clouds

B. L. Fleshman, P. A. Delamere, F. Bagenal +1

Neutrals sourced directly from Enceladus's plumes are initially confined to a dense neutral torus in Enceladus's orbit around Saturn. This neutral torus is redistributed by charge…
