Caught in the Act: A Metal-Rich High-Velocity Cloud in the Inner Galaxy
Frances H. Cashman, Andrew J. Fox, Bart P. Wakker +8
We characterize the chemical and physical conditions in an outflowing high-velocity cloud in the inner Galaxy. We report a super-solar metallicity of [O/H] = for the…
Molecular Gas within the Milky Way's Nuclear Wind
Frances H. Cashman, Andrew J. Fox, Blair D. Savage +9
We report the first direct detection of molecular hydrogen associated with the Galactic nuclear wind. The Far-Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer spectrum of LS 4825, a B1 Ib-II sta…
Nuclear Outflow of the Milky Way: Studying the Kinematics and Spatial Extent of the Northern Fermi Bubble
Rongmon Bordoloi, Andrew J. Fox, Felix J. Lockman +7
We report new observations from a systematic, spectroscopic, ultraviolet absorption-line survey that maps the spatial and kinematic properties of the high-velocity gas in the Galac…
Diagnosing galactic feedback with the line broadening in the low redshift Lyman-alpha forest
M. Viel, M. G. Haehnelt, J. S. Bolton +4
We compare the low redshift (z ~ 0.1) Lyman-alpha forest from hydrodynamical simulations with data from the Cosmic Origin Spectrograph (COS). We find tension between the observed n…
Evidence of bimodal physical properties of intervening, optically-thin CIII absorbers at z ~ 2.5
Tae-Sun Kim, Robert F. Carswell, Drake Ranquist
We present the Voigt profile analysis of 132 intervening CIV+CIII components associated with optically-thin HI absorbers at 2.1 < z < 3.4 in the 19 high-quality UVES/VLT and HIRES/…
Probing the Fermi Bubbles in Ultraviolet Absorption: A Spectroscopic Signature of the Milky Way's Biconical Nuclear Outflow
Andrew J. Fox, Rongmon Bordoloi, Blair D. Savage +9
Giant lobes of plasma extend 55 degrees above and below the Galactic Center, glowing in emission from gamma rays (the Fermi Bubbles) to microwaves (the WMAP haze) and polarized rad…
Absorption-Line Detections of K Gas in Spiral-Rich Groups of Galaxies
J. T. Stocke, B. A. Keeney, C. W. Danforth +10
Using the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS) on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) the COS Science Team has conducted a high signal-to-noise survey of 14 bright QSOs. In a previous pa…
