Detection of 'super-virial' gas in the Circumgalactic medium of the Milky Way towards PKS 2155-304
Mukesh Singh Bisht, Sanskriti Das, Smita Mathur +3
We present the first simultaneous detection of four distinct highly ionized absorbing phases using Chandra and XMM-Newton grating spectra toward the blazar PKS 2155…
Misty, patchy, and turbulent: constraining the cool circumgalactic medium with mCC
Mukesh Singh Bisht, Prateek Sharma, Alankar Dutta +1
The circumgalactic medium (CGM) is the largest baryon reservoir around galaxies, but its extent, mass, and temperature distribution remain uncertain. We propose that cool gas ($\si…
Can supernova from runaway stars mimic the signs of absorbing `super-virial' gas?
Mukesh Singh Bisht, Projjwal Banerjee, Biman B. Nath +1
The recent detection of large column density absorption lines from highly ionized gas in a few directions through the circumgalactic medium (CGM) of the Milky Way (MW) has been puz…
On the origin of the K hot emitting gas in the Circumgalactic medium of the Milky Way
Mukesh Singh Bisht, Biman B. Nath, Smita Mathur
The presence of the K gas in the circumgalactic medium of the Milky Way has been well established. However, the location and the origin of the newly discovered hot g…
