Deep X-ray observation of NGC 3221: everything everywhere all at once
Sanskriti Das, Smita Mathur, Bret D. Lehmer +3
We present a comprehensive analysis of 475 ks (438 ks unpublished & 37 ks archival) XMM-Newton/EPIC-pn observation of a nearby, highly inclined, star-forming, luminous infrared gal…
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…
Where is the Supervirial Gas? III. Insights from X-ray Shadow Observations and a revised Model for the Soft Diffuse X-ray Background
Anjali Gupta, Smita Mathur, Joshua Kingsbury +5
Shadow observations provide a powerful tool to separate foreground components of the soft diffuse X-ray background (SDXB) from the background components. Such observations have now…
Where is the Super-virial Gas? II: Insight from the Survey of Galactic Sightlines
Manami Roy, Smita Mathur, Sanskriti Das +3
Recent observations have revealed a super-virial temperature gas phase at log(T/K) in the Milky Way, challenging existing galaxy-formation models. This hot gas phase was di…
Where is the Supervirial hot gas? I: A pilot study with sightlines to Galactic X-ray binaries
Armando Lara-DI, Yair Krongold, Smita Mathur +4
Hot, \logT\ 7.5, gas was recently discovered in the Milky Way in extragalactic sightlines. In order to determine its location, here we present sightlines to Galactic X-ray b…
A Sub-solar Fe/O, logT~7.5 Gas Component Permeating the Milky Way's CGM
Armando Lara-DI, Yair Krongold, Smita Mathur +3
Our study focuses on characterizing the highly ionized gas within the Milky Way's (MW) Circumgalactic Medium (CGM) that gives rise to ionic transitions in the X-ray band 2 - 25 Å.…
