The Large Magellanic Cloud's Kiloparsec Bow Shock and its Impact on the Circumgalactic Medium
David J. Setton, Gurtina Besla, Ekta Patel +3
The interaction between the supersonic motion of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and the Circumgalactic Medium (CGM) is expected to result in a bow shock that leads the LMC's gase…
A Comprehensive Investigation of Metals in the Circumgalactic Medium of Nearby Dwarf Galaxies
Yong Zheng, Yakov Faerman, Benjamin D. Oppenheimer +7
Dwarf galaxies are found to have lost most of their metals via feedback processes; however, there still lacks consistent assessment on the retention rate of metals in their circumg…
Turbulence in Milky Way Star-Forming Regions Traced by Young Stars and Gas
Trung Ha, Yuan Li, Marina Kounkel +3
The interstellar medium (ISM) is turbulent on all scales and in all phases. In this paper, we study turbulence with different tracers in four nearby star-forming regions: Orion, Op…
The Gas Content and Stripping of Local Group Dwarf Galaxies
Mary E. Putman, Yong Zheng, Adrian M. Price-Whelan +4
The gas content of the complete compilation of Local Group dwarf galaxies (119 within 2 Mpc) is presented using HI survey data. Within the virial radius of the Milky Way (224 kpc h…
Characterizing the Circumgalactic Medium of the Lowest-Mass Galaxies: A Case Study of IC 1613
Yong Zheng, Andrew Emerick, Mary E. Putman +3
Using 10 sightlines observed with the Hubble Space Telescope/Cosmic Origins Spectrograph, we study the circumgalactic medium (CGM) and outflows of IC1613, which is a low-mass ($M_*…
The QuaStar Survey: Detecting Hidden Low-Velocity Gas in the Milky Way's Circumgalactic Medium
Hannah V. Bish, Jessica K. Werk, Joshua Peek +2
From our position embedded within the Milky Way's interstellar medium (ISM), we have limited ability to detect gas at low relative velocities in the extended Galactic halo because…
Figuring Out Gas & Galaxies In Enzo (FOGGIE). IV. The Stochasticity of Ram Pressure Stripping in Galactic Halos
Raymond C. Simons, Molly S. Peeples, Jason Tumlinson +9
We study ram pressure stripping in simulated Milky Way-like halos at z>=2 from the Figuring Out Gas & Galaxies In Enzo (FOGGIE) project. These simulations reach exquisite resolutio…
Figuring Out Gas & Galaxies in Enzo (FOGGIE). III. The Mocky Way: Investigating Biases in Observing the Milky Way's Circumgalactic Medium
Yong Zheng, Molly S. Peeples, Brian W. O'Shea +6
The circumgalactic medium (CGM) of the Milky Way is mostly obscured by nearby gas in position-velocity space because we reside inside the Galaxy. Substantial biases exist in most s…
Direct Detection of Black Hole-Driven Turbulence in the Centers of Galaxy Clusters
Yuan Li, Marie-Lou Gendron-Marsolais, Irina Zhuravleva +16
Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) are thought to provide energy that prevents catastrophic cooling in the centers of massive galaxies and galaxy clusters. However, it remains unclea…
Tentative Detection of the Circumgalactic Medium of the Isolated Low-Mass Dwarf Galaxy WLM
Y. Zheng, M. E. Putman, A. Emerick +7
We report a tentative detection of the circumgalactic medium (CGM) of WLM, an isolated, low-mass (log), dwarf irregular galaxy in the Local Group (LG). We an…
Galactic Gas Flows from Halo to Disk: Tomography and Kinematics at the Milky Way's Disk-Halo Interface
Hannah V. Bish, Jessica K. Werk, J. Xavier Prochaska +4
We present a novel absorption line survey using 54 blue horizontal branch stars (BHBs) in the Milky Way halo as background sources for detecting gas flows at the disk-halo interfac…
Ultraviolet Perspectives on Diffuse Gas in the Largest Cosmic Structures
Joseph N. Burchett, Daisuke Nagai, Iryna Butsky +31
The past decade has seen an explosion of discoveries and new insights into the diffuse gas within galaxies, galaxy clusters, and the filaments composing the Cosmic Web. A new decad…
Understanding the circumgalactic medium is critical for understanding galaxy evolution
Molly S. Peeples, Peter Behroozi, Rongmon Bordoloi +69
Galaxies evolve under the influence of gas flows between their interstellar medium and their surrounding gaseous halos known as the circumgalactic medium (CGM). The CGM is a major…
The First Distance Constraint on the Renegade High Velocity Cloud Complex WD
J. E. G. Peek, Rongmon Bordoloi, Hugues Sana +3
We present medium-resolution, near-ultraviolet VLT/FLAMES observations of the star USNO-A0600-15865535. We adapt a standard method of stellar typing to our measurement of the shape…
Relative Flux Calibration of the LAMOST Spectroscopic Survey of the Galactic Anti-center
Maosheng Xiang, Xiaowei Liu, Haibo Yuan +17
We have developed and implemented an iterative algorithm of flux calibration for the LAMOST Spectroscopic Survey of the Galactic anti-center (LSS-GAC). For a given LSS-GAC plate, t…
