The COS Absorption Survey of Baryon Harbors: The Galaxy Database and Cross-Correlation Analysis of OVI Systems

J. Xavier Prochaska, Joseph N. Burchett, Todd M. Tripp +10

We describe the survey for galaxies in the fields surrounding 9 sightlines to far-UV bright, z~1 quasars that define the COS Absorption Survey of Baryon Harbors (CASBaH) program. T…

Baryon Cycling in the Low-Redshift Circumgalactic Medium: A Comparison of Simulations to the COS-Halos Survey

Amanda Brady Ford, Jessica K. Werk, Romeel Dave +8

We analyze the low-redshift (z~0.2) circumgalactic medium by comparing absorption-line data from the COS-Halos Survey to absorption around a matched galaxy sample from two cosmolog…

The COS-Dwarfs Survey: The Carbon Reservoir Around sub-L* Galaxies

Rongmon Bordoloi, Jason Tumlinson, Jessica K. Werk +12

We report new observations of circumgalactic gas from the COS-Dwarfs survey, a systematic investigation of the gaseous halos around 43 low-mass z 0.1 galaxies using backgrou…

The Photon Underproduction Crisis

Juna A. Kollmeier, David H. Weinberg, Benjamin D. Oppenheimer +9

We examine the statistics of the low-redshift Lyman-alpha forest from smoothed particle hydrodynamic simulations in light of recent improvements in the estimated evolution of the c…

The COS-Halos Survey: Physical Conditions and Baryonic Mass in the Low-Redshift Circumgalactic Medium

Jessica K. Werk, J. Xavier Prochaska, Jason Tumlinson +13

We analyze the physical conditions of the cool, photoionized (T K) circumgalactic medium (CGM) using the COS-Halos suite of gas column density measurements for 44 gaseo…

A Deep Search for Faint Galaxies Associated with Very Low-Redshift C IV Absorbers: A Case with Cold-Accretion Characteristics

Joseph N. Burchett, Todd M. Tripp, Jessica K. Werk +4

Studies of QSO absorber-galaxy connections are often hindered by inadequate information on whether faint/dwarf galaxies are located near the QSO sight lines. To investigate the con…
