We demonstrate the presence of an extended and massive circumgalactic medium (CGM) around Messier 31 using archival HST COS ultraviolet spectroscopy of 18 QSOs projected within two virial radii of M31 (Rvir=300 kpc). We detect absorption from SiIII at -300<vLSR}<-150 km/s toward all 3 sightlines at R<0.2Rvir, 3 of 4 sightlines at 0.8<R/Rvir<1.1, and possibly 1 of 11 at 1.1<R/Rvir<1.8. We present several arguments that the gas at these velocities observed in these directions originates from the CGM of M31 rather than the Local Group or Milky Way CGM or Magellanic Stream. We show that the dwarf galaxies located in the CGM of M31 have very similar velocities over similar projected distances from M31. We find a non-trivial relationship only at these velocities between the column densities (N) of all the ions and R, whereby N decreases with increasing R. Singly ionized species are only detected in the inner CGM of M31 at R<0.2Rvir. At R<0.8 Rvir, the covering fraction is close to unity for SiIII and CIV (fc~60%-97% at the 90% confidence level), but drops to fc<10-20% at R>Rvir. We show that the M31 CGM gas is bound, multiphase, predominantly ionized (i.e., HII>>HI), and becomes more highly ionized gas at larger R. We estimate using SiII, SiIII, and SiIV a CGM metal mass of at least 2x10^6 Msun and gas mass of >3x10^9(Zsun/Z) Msun within 0.2 Rvir, and possibly a factor ~10 larger within Rvir, implying substantial metal and gas masses in the CGM of M31. Compared with galaxies in the COS-Halos survey, the CGM of M31 appears to be quite typical for a L* galaxy.
Project AMIGA (Absorption Maps In the Gas of Andromeda) is a large ultraviolet Hubble Space Telescope program, which has assembled a sample of 43 QSOs that pierce the circumgalactic medium (CGM) of Andromeda (M31) from R=25 to 569 kpc (25 of them pro
Ninety per cent of baryons are located outside galaxies, either in the circumgalactic or intergalactic medium. Theory points to galactic winds as the primary source of the enriched and massive circumgalactic medium. Winds from compact starbursts have
This chapter presents a review of the current state of knowledge on the cool (T ~ 1e4 K) halo gas content around massive galaxies at z ~ 0.2-2. Over the last decade, significant progress has been made in characterizing the cool circumgalactic gas in
The equivalent widths of MgII absorption in the circumgalactic medium (CGM) trace the global star formation rate up to $z<6$, are larger for star-forming galaxies than passively-evolving galaxies, and decrease with increasing distance from the galaxy
In this paper we present Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) integral field unit spectroscopic observations of the $sim70times30$ kpc$^2$ Ly$alpha$ halo around the radio galaxy 4C04.11 at $z = 4.5077$. High-redshift radio galaxies (HzRGs) are ho
