Perhaps more surprisingly, they also seem to be missing most of their metals. I will present Chandra observations probing our Milky Way halo in absorption. Together with XMM and Suzaku … Continue reading "CRA Seminar (Prof. Smita Mathur (Ohio State University))"
Title: Juggling gas and metals: exploring the role of outflows in galaxy evolution Abstract: The cycling of gas through galactic fountains links disks to halos. Simulations enable astronomers to follow this cycle by tracking gas particles. Here I analyze the role of accretion and outflows in the growth of stellar and metal mass in a … Continue reading "Prof. Charlotte Christensen (Grinnell College)"
