Galaxies Probing Galaxies in PRIMUS - II. The Coherence Scale of the Cool Circumgalactic Medium
Kate H. R. Rubin, Aleksandar M. Diamond-Stanic, Alison L. Coil +2
The circumgalactic medium (CGM) close to ~L* star-forming galaxies hosts strong MgII 2796 absorption (with equivalent width W_2796>0.1 Ang) with a near-unity covering fraction. To…
Project AMIGA: A Minimal Covering Factor for Optically Thick Circumgalactic Gas Around the Andromeda Galaxy
J. Christopher Howk, Christopher B. Wotta, Michelle A. Berg +19
We present a deep search for HI 21-cm emission from the gaseous halo of Messier 31 as part of Project AMIGA, a large program Hubble Space Telescope program to study the circumgalac…
Gas Accretion and Angular Momentum
Kyle R. Stewart
In this chapter, we review the role of gas accretion to the acquisition of angular momentum, both in galaxies and in their gaseous halos. We begin by discussing angular momentum in…
High Angular Momentum Halo Gas: a Feedback and Code-Independent Prediction of LCDM
Kyle Stewart, Ariyeh Maller, Jose Oñorbe +7
We investigate angular momentum acquisition in Milky Way-sized galaxies by comparing five high resolution zoom-in simulations, each implementing identical cosmological initial cond…
Angular Momentum Acquisition in Galaxy Halos
Kyle R. Stewart, Alyson M. Brooks, James S. Bullock +4
We use high-resolution cosmological hydrodynamic simulations to study the angular momentum acquisition of gaseous halos around Milky Way sized galaxies. We find that cold mode accr…
GalMass: A Smartphone Application for Estimating Galaxy Masses
Kyle R. Stewart
This note documents the methods used by the smartphone application, "GalMass," which has been released on the Android Market. GalMass estimates the halo virial mass (Mvir), stellar…
