Journal ArticleDOI
The large, oxygen-rich halos of star-forming galaxies are a major reservoir of galactic metals.
Jason Tumlinson,C. Thom,Jessica K. Werk,Jason X. Prochaska,Todd M. Tripp,David H. Weinberg,Molly S. Peeples,John M. O'Meara,Benjamin D. Oppenheimer,Joseph D. Meiring,Neal Katz,Romeel Davé,Amanda Brady Ford,K. R. Sembach +13 more
TL;DR: The data indicate that ionized oxygen is a basic component of nearly all star-forming galaxies that is removed or transformed during the quenching of star formation and the transition to passive evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI
The COS-Halos Survey: Physical Conditions and Baryonic Mass in the Low-redshift Circumgalactic Medium
Jessica K. Werk,J. Xavier Prochaska,Jason Tumlinson,Molly S. Peeples,Todd M. Tripp,Andrew J. Fox,Nicolas Lehner,Christopher Thom,John M. O'Meara,Amanda Brady Ford,Rongmon Bordoloi,Neal Katz,Nicolas Tejos,Benjamin D. Oppenheimer,Benjamin D. Oppenheimer,Romeel Davé,David H. Weinberg +16 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the physical conditions of the cool, photoionized (T ∼ 10 4 K) circumgalactic medium (CGM) using the COS-Halos suite of gas column density measurements for 44 gaseous halos within 160 kpc of L ∼ L ∗ galaxies at z ∼ 0.2.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Circumgalactic Medium
TL;DR: The circumgalactic medium (CGM) as mentioned in this paper is a multiphase medium characterized by rich dynamics and complex ionization states, and it is a source for a galaxy's star-forming fuel, the venue for galactic feedback and recycling, and perhaps the key regulator of the galactic gas supply.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a review of current and emerging shear-measurement methods in a common language, and assess their performance by running them (blindly) on simulated images that contain a known shear signal.
Journal ArticleDOI
The COS-Halos Survey: Rationale, Design, and a Census of Circumgalactic Neutral Hydrogen
Jason Tumlinson,Christopher Thom,Jessica K. Werk,J. Xavier Prochaska,Todd M. Tripp,Neal Katz,Romeel Davé,Romeel Davé,Benjamin D. Oppenheimer,Benjamin D. Oppenheimer,Joseph D. Meiring,Amanda Brady Ford,John M. O'Meara,Molly S. Peeples,Kenneth R. Sembach,David H. Weinberg +15 more
TL;DR: The COS-Halos survey as discussed by the authors is a systematic investigation of the gaseous halos of 44 z = 0.15-0.35 galaxies using background QSOs observed with the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph aboard the Hubble Space Telescope.
