A Substantial Mass of Cool, Metal-Enriched Gas Surrounding the Progenitors of Modern-Day Ellipticals
J. Xavier Prochaska, Joseph F. Hennawi, Robert A. Simcoe
The hosts of luminous z~2 quasars evolve into today's massive elliptical galaxies. Current theories predict that the circum-galactic medium (CGM) of these massive, dark-matter halo…
The circumgalactic medium of massive galaxies at z~3: a test for stellar feedback, galactic outflows, and cold streams
Sijing Shen, Piero Madau, Javiera Guedes +3
We present new results on the kinematics, thermal and ionization state, and spatial distribution of metal-enriched gas in the circumgalactic medium (CGM) of massive galaxies at red…
The HST/ACS+WFC3 Survey for Lyman Limit Systems II: Science
John M. O'Meara, J. Xavier Prochaska, Gabor Worseck +2
We present the first science results from our Hubble Space Telescope Survey for Lyman limit absorption systems (LLS) using the low dispersion spectroscopic modes of the Advanced Ca…
