The COS-Halos Survey: An Empirical Description of the Metal-Line Absorption in the Low-Redshift Circumgalactic Medium
Jessica Werk, J. Xavier Prochaska, Christopher Thom +4
We present the equivalent width and column density measurements for low and intermediate ionization states of the circumgalactic medium (CGM) surrounding 44 low-z, L ~ L* galaxies…
Not Dead Yet: Cool Circumgalactic Gas in the Halos of Early Type Galaxies
Christopher Thom, Jason Tumlinson, Jessica K. Werk +10
We report new observations of circumgalactic gas in the halos of early type galaxies obtained by the COS-Halos Survey with the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph onboard the Hubble Space…
Unique Astrophysics in the Lyman Ultraviolet
Jason Tumlinson, Alessandra Aloisi, Gerard Kriss +24
There is unique and groundbreaking science to be done with a new generation of UV spectrographs that cover wavelengths in the "Lyman Ultraviolet" (LUV; 912 - 1216 Ang). There is no…
High-velocity clouds as streams of ionized and neutral gas in the halo of the Milky Way
N. Lehner, J. C. Howk, C. Thom +4
High-velocity clouds (HVC), fast-moving ionized and neutral gas clouds found at high galactic latitudes, may play an important role in the evolution of the Milky Way. The extent of…
QSO Absorption Systems Detected in Ne VIII: High-Metallicity Clouds with a Large Effective Cross Section
Joseph D. Meiring, Todd M. Tripp, Jessica K. Werk +5
Using high resolution, high signal-to-noise ultraviolet spectra of the z = 0.9754 quasar PG1148+549 obtained with the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS) on the Hubble Space Telescop…
