Push-broom Mapping of Galaxies and Supernova Remnants with the SPRITE CubeSat

Elena Carlson, Brian Fleming, Yi Hang Valerie Wong +12

Supernovae (SNe) enrich and energize the surrounding interstellar medium (ISM) and are a key mechanism in the galaxy feedback cycle. The heating of the ISM by supernova shocks, and…

FOGGIE X: Characterizing the Small-Scale Structure of the CGM and its Imprint on Observables

Ramona Augustin, Jason Tumlinson, Molly S. Peeples +11

One of the main unknowns in galaxy evolution is how gas flows into and out of galaxies in the circumgalactic medium (CGM). Studies observing the CGM in absorption using multiple or…
