A Partial Lyman Limit Absorber in the Halo of a Galaxy Pair: A Possible Signature of Gas Inflow
Sumukha R. Bharadwaj, Anand Narayanan, Sowgat Muzahid +2
We present an analysis of a partial Lyman limit system at z = 0.87641 detected in the HST/COS spectrum of the background quasar LBQS 0107-0235. The absorber exhibits a simple kinem…
Revealing Cosmic Ecosystems with the Hubble Space Telescope in 2030s and Beyond
Sanchayeeta Borthakur, Tanmay Singh, David French +22
Ultraviolet spectroscopy with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) provides the most direct and sensitive probe of the disk-circumgalactic medium (CGM) interface at radii of 20 kpc, wh…
MusE GAs FLOw and Wind (MEGAFLOW) XIV: Background-Galaxy Absorption Reveals Kiloparsec-Scale Structure in the Cool Circumgalactic Medium
Yucheng Guo, Nicolas F. Bouché, Martin Wendt +9
The properties of the cool (~K) gas in the circumgalactic medium (CGM) are closely linked to the physical mechanisms that create and maintain this multiphase medium. The…
High-S/N Quasar Observations with HST/COS: Deep Fields for Spectroscopy
Andrew J. Fox, Jerry Kriss, Philipp Richter +49
Hubble is still in prime observing condition for making transformative discoveries in UV astronomy. In this white paper we describe the science case for a deep (S/N>30) UV spectros…
A Comprehensive Study of Morphology and Kinematics in Extended Nebulae Around UV Luminous Quasars at
Zhuoqi Liu, Sean D. Johnson, Eric F. Bell +22
Gas flows between galaxies and the circumgalactic medium (CGM) play a central role in galaxy evolution and can become observable as giant nebulae when illuminated by the quasars. W…
Resolving circumgalactic gas flows around a z3.6 quasar using MUSE and ALMA
M. Galbiati, A. Pensabene, S. Cantalupo +10
The formation and evolution of galaxies is regulated by the exchange of gas with the surrounding large-scale structures on circum- and intergalactic scales. Yet, little is known ab…
