For the first time, we present the simultaneous detection and characterization of three distinct phases at $>10^5$ K in $z=0$ absorption, using deep $it{Chandra}$ observations toward Mrk 421. The extraordinarily high signal-to-noise ratio ($geqslant60$) of the spectra has allowed us to detect a $it{hot}$ phase of the Milky Way circumgalactic medium (CGM) at 3.2$^{+1.5}_{-0.5}times$ 10$^7$ K, coexisting with a $textit{warm-hot}$ phase at 1.5$pm$0.1$times$10$^6$ K and a $textit{warm}$ phase at 3.0$pm$0.4$times$10$^5$ K. The $textit{warm-hot}$ phase is at the virial temperature of the Galaxy, and the $textit{warm}$ phase may have cooled from the $textit{warm-hot}$ phase, but the super-virial $textit{hot}$ phase remains a mystery. We find that [C/O] in the $textit{warm}$ and $textit{warm-hot}$ phases, [Mg/O] in the $textit{warm-hot}$ phase and [Ne/O] in the $textit{hot}$ phase are super-solar, and the $textit{hot}$ and the $textit{warm-hot}$ phases are $alpha-$enhanced. Non-thermal line broadening is evident in the $textit{warm-hot}$ and the $textit{hot}$ phases and it dominates the total line broadening. Our results indicate that the $>10^5$ K CGM is a complex ecosystem. It provides insights on the thermal and chemical history of the Milky Way CGM, and theories of galaxy evolution.
We analyzed Suzaku and Chandra observations of the soft diffuse X-ray background toward four sightlines with the goal of characterizing the X-ray emission from the Milky Way circumgalactic medium (CGM). We identified two thermal components of the CGM
We present joint Suzaku and Chandra observations of MKW4. With a global temperature of 1.6 keV, MKW4 is one of the smallest galaxy groups that have been mapped in X-rays out to the virial radius. We measure its gas properties from its center to the v
We study the impact of cosmic rays (CRs) on the structure of virial shocks, using a large suite of high-resolution cosmological FIRE-2 simulations accounting for CR injection by supernovae. In massive ($M_{rm halo} gtrsim 10^{11},M_{odot}$), low-reds
The initial velocity dispersion of newborn stars is a major unconstrained aspect of star formation theory. Using near-infrared spectra obtained with the APOGEE spectrograph, we show that the velocity dispersion of young (1-2 Myr) stars in NGC 1333 is
Many young extra-galactic clusters have a measured velocity dispersion that is too high for the mass derived from their age and total luminosity, which has led to the suggestion that they are not in virial equilibrium. Most of these clusters are conf
