Thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect in the circumgalactic medium - III: does richness matter?

Sanskriti Das, Yi-Kuan Chiang, Smita Mathur

We measure the thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect in the circumgalactic/intragroup medium (CGM/IGrM) of 7 million M DESI Legacy Su…

Diffuse HI emission in the circumgalactic medium of NGC891 and NGC4565 - III: azimuthal profiles

Mary Rickel, Sanskriti Das, Nickolas M. Pingel +4

Diffuse HI emission in the circumgalactic medium (CGM) of NGC891 and NGC4565 has been previously shown to trace an inflow along minor axes pointings and to co-rotate with the HI di…

Thermal Structure and Chemical Enrichment of the North and South Polar Spurs: Supersolar N/O and Ne/O in the X-ray Plasma

Anjali Gupta, Smita Mathur, Joshua Kingsbury +5

The North Polar Spur (NPS) is a prominent diffuse X-ray feature whose origin has remained uncertain for decades. Using a uniform analysis of archival \textit{Suzaku} and \textit{XM…

The Nuclear Star Cluster of M 74: a fossil record of the very early stages of a star-forming galaxy

Francesca Pinna, Nils Hoyer, Jairo Méndez Abreu +13

Nuclear star clusters (NSC) are dense and compact stellar systems, of sizes of few parsecs, located at galactic centers. Their properties and formation mechanisms seem to be tightl…

Deep X-ray observation of NGC 3221: everything everywhere all at once

Sanskriti Das, Smita Mathur, Bret D. Lehmer +3

We present a comprehensive analysis of 475 ks (438 ks unpublished & 37 ks archival) XMM-Newton/EPIC-pn observation of a nearby, highly inclined, star-forming, luminous infrared gal…

Resolved HII regions in NGC 253: Ionized gas structure and suggestions of a universal density-surface brightness relation

Rebecca L. McClain, Adam K. Leroy, Enrico Congiu +23

We use the full-disk VLT-MUSE mosaic of NGC 253 to identify 2492 HII regions and study their resolved structure. With an average physical resolution of 17 pc, this is one of the la…

Detection of 'super-virial' gas in the Circumgalactic medium of the Milky Way towards PKS 2155-304

Mukesh Singh Bisht, Sanskriti Das, Smita Mathur +3

We present the first simultaneous detection of four distinct highly ionized absorbing phases using Chandra and XMM-Newton grating spectra toward the blazar PKS 2155…

Thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect in the circumgalactic medium -- II: dependence on star formation

Sanskriti Das, Nhut Truong, Yi-Kuan Chiang +1

We measure thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (tSZ) Effect in the circumgalactic medium (CGM) of 2.5 million = WISEDESI galaxies out…

Where is the Supervirial Gas? III. Insights from X-ray Shadow Observations and a revised Model for the Soft Diffuse X-ray Background

Anjali Gupta, Smita Mathur, Joshua Kingsbury +5

Shadow observations provide a powerful tool to separate foreground components of the soft diffuse X-ray background (SDXB) from the background components. Such observations have now…

Where is the Super-virial Gas? II: Insight from the Survey of Galactic Sightlines

Manami Roy, Smita Mathur, Sanskriti Das +3

Recent observations have revealed a super-virial temperature gas phase at log(T/K) in the Milky Way, challenging existing galaxy-formation models. This hot gas phase was di…

Where is the Super-Virial Gas? The Supply from hot inflows

Manami Roy, Kung-Yi Su, Smita Mathur +1

In an effort to understand the presence of super-virial gas detected in the Milky Way, we present our findings from isolated galaxy simulations of Milky Way-like systems using GIZM…
