The HI Column Density Distribution of the Galactic Disk and Halo
David M. French, Andrew J. Fox, Bart P. Wakker +8
We present a census of neutral gas in the Milky Way disk and halo down to limiting column densities of (HI) cm using measurements of HI Lyman-series absorpti…
Down-the-barrel and transverse observations of the Large Magellanic Cloud: evidence for a symmetrical galactic wind on the near and far sides of the galaxy
Kat Barger, Nicolas Lehner, J. Chris Howk
We compare the properties of gas flows on both the near and far side of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) disk using Hubble Space Telescope UV absorption-line observations toward an…
The Metal-Strong Damped Lyman-alpha Systems
Stéphane Herbert-Fort, Jason X. Prochaska, Miroslava Dessauges-Zavadsky +4
We have identified a metal-strong (logN(Zn+) > 13.15 or logN(Si+) > 15.95) DLA (MSDLA) population from an automated quasar (QSO) absorber search in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Dat…
On the Nature of the Heat Source for Damped Lya Systems
Arthur M. Wolfe, J. Chris Howk, Eric Gawiser +2
We investigate the heat source of the neutral gas comprising DLAs. Unlike the Lya forest, where the extragalactic background radiation field ionizes and heats the gas, we find that…
Spectroscopic Classification of 42 LMC OB Stars: Selection of Probes for the Hot Gaseous Halo of the LMC
Elizabeth G. Jaxon, Martin A. Guerrero, J. Chris Howk +3
Interstellar C IV absorption line studies of the hot gaseous halo of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) have been hindered by non-ideal selections of early-type probe stars in region…
The Multiphase Halo of NGC 891: WIYN H-alpha and BVI Imaging
J. Christopher Howk, Blair D. Savage
We present new, deep optical images (BVI+H-alpha) of the interstellar medium (ISM) far above the plane of NGC 891. These sub-arcsecond images give a direct visual view of two physi…
