The GOLIATH Survey: OVI Absorption Reveals CGM Evolution through the Starburst-to-Quiescent Transition in Massive Galaxies
Derick Flores, Rongmon Bordoloi, Jason Tumlinson +12
We present the GOLIATH survey (Galaxies, Outflows, and the Lifecycle of Immense, Active, Transforming Halos), a study of the multiphase circumgalactic medium (CGM) of massive ($\la…
Predicted Capabilities of the SPRITE SmallSat for a Low-Redshift Lyman Continuum Emission Survey
Yi Hang Valerie Wong, Brian Fleming, Elena Carlson +13
Ionizing Lyman continuum (LyC; ) radiation from low-redshift () galaxies provides crucial insight into the processes that contributed to cosm…
Push-broom Mapping of Galaxies and Supernova Remnants with the SPRITE CubeSat
Elena Carlson, Brian Fleming, Yi Hang Valerie Wong +12
Supernovae (SNe) enrich and energize the surrounding interstellar medium (ISM) and are a key mechanism in the galaxy feedback cycle. The heating of the ISM by supernova shocks, and…
Evolution of the Ionizing Photon Luminosity Function
Stephan R. McCandliss, Swara Ravindranath, Sangeeta Malhotra +6
Counting the number and brightness of ionizing radiation sources out to a redshift of z ~ 1.2 will revolutionize our understanding of how the ionizing background is created and sus…
FOGGIE X: Characterizing the Small-Scale Structure of the CGM and its Imprint on Observables
Ramona Augustin, Jason Tumlinson, Molly S. Peeples +11
One of the main unknowns in galaxy evolution is how gas flows into and out of galaxies in the circumgalactic medium (CGM). Studies observing the CGM in absorption using multiple or…
Project AMIGA: The Inner Circumgalactic Medium of Andromeda from Thick Disk to Halo
Nicolas Lehner, J. Christopher Howk, Lucy Collins +22
The inner circumgalactic medium (CGM) of galaxies, where disk and halo processes intersect, remains poorly characterized despite its critical role in regulating galaxy evolution. W…
