From IFS Maps to 3D Structure I: Constraining Geometry in the Circumgalactic Medium

Mandy C. Chen, Michael Rauch, Zhijie Qu +3

The three-dimensional geometric structure of the cool (T~ K) circumgalactic medium (CGM) -- the line-of-sight depth and the number of discrete clumps -- is poorly constrained…
