Discovery of a transparent sightline at ρ < 20 kpc from an interacting pair of galaxies
Sean D. Johnson, Hsiao-Wen Chen, John S. Mulchaey +3
We report the discovery of a transparent sightline at projected distances of ρ < 20 kpc to an interacting pair of mature galaxies at z = 0.12. The sightline of the UV-bright quasar…
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…
The High-Ion Content and Kinematics of Low-Redshift Lyman Limit Systems
Andrew J. Fox, Nicolas Lehner, Jason Tumlinson +9
We study the high-ionization phase and kinematics of the circumgalactic medium around low-redshift galaxies using a sample of 23 Lyman Limit Systems (LLSs) at 0.08<z<0.93 observed…
A Budget and Accounting of Metals at z~0: Results from the COS-Halos Survey
Molly S. Peeples, Jessica K. Werk, Jason Tumlinson +4
We present a budget and accounting of metals in and around star-forming galaxies at . We combine empirically derived star formation histories with updated supernova and AG…
The COS-Halos Survey: Rationale, Design, and A Census of Circumgalactic Neutral Hydrogen
Jason Tumlinson, Christopher Thom, Jessica Werk +11
We present the design and methods of the COS-Halos survey, a systematic investigation of the gaseous halos of 44 z = 0.15-0.35 galaxies using background QSOs observed with the Cosm…
Gemini Spectroscopy of the Short GRB 130603B Afterglow and Host
A. Cucchiara, J. X. Prochaska, D. A. Perley +5
We present early optical photometry and spectroscopy of the afterglow and host galaxy of the bright short-duration gamma-ray burst GRB 130603B discovered by the Swift satellite. Us…
