The Cosmic Ultraviolet Baryon Survey (CUBS) VI: Connecting Physical Properties of the Cool Circumgalactic Medium to Galaxies at
Zhijie Qu, Hsiao-Wen Chen, Gwen C. Rudie +12
This paper presents a new sample of 19 unique galaxies and galaxy groups at from the CUBS program, which is designated as the CUBSz1 sample. In this CUBSz1 sample, nine…
Machine Learning Uncovers the Universe's Hidden Gems: A Comprehensive Catalogue of CIV Absorption Lines in SDSS DR12
Reza Monadi, Ming-Feng Ho, Kathy L. Cooksey +1
We assemble the largest CIV absorption line catalogue to date, leveraging machine learning, specifically Gaussian processes, to remove the need for visual inspection for detecting…
The Cosmic Ultraviolet Baryon Survey (CUBS) V: On the Thermodynamic Properties of the Cool Circumgalactic Medium at
Zhijie Qu, Hsiao-Wen Chen, Gwen C. Rudie +11
This paper presents a systematic study of the photoionization and thermodynamic properties of the cool circumgalactic medium (CGM) as traced by rest-frame ultraviolet absorption li…
Empirical constraints on the turbulence in QSO host nebulae from velocity structure function measurements
Mandy C. Chen, Hsiao-Wen Chen, Michael Rauch +9
We present the first empirical constraints on the turbulent velocity field of the diffuse circumgalactic medium around four luminous QSOs at --1.1. Spatially exten…
On the Kinematics of Cold, Metal-enriched Galactic Fountain Flows in Nearby Star-forming Galaxies
Kate H. R. Rubin, Christian Juarez, Kathy L. Cooksey +7
We use medium-resolution Keck/Echellette Spectrograph and Imager spectroscopy of bright quasars to study cool gas traced by CaII 3934,3969 and NaI 5891,5897 absorption in the inter…
The COS CGM Compendium. IV. Effects of Varying Ionization Backgrounds on Metallicity Determinations in the z < 1 Circumgalactic Medium
Justus L. Gibson, Nicolas Lehner, Benjamin D. Oppenheimer +3
Metallicity estimates of circumgalactic gas based on absorption line measurements typically require photoionization modeling to account for unseen ionization states. We explore the…
