We present results on gas flows in the halo of a Milky Way-like galaxy at z=0.413 based on high-resolution spectroscopy of a background galaxy. This is the first study of circumgalactic gas at high spectral resolution towards an extended…

Massive ($M >30\,$M$_{\odot}$) stars exhibit luminosities that are near the Eddington-limit for electron scattering causing the increase in opacity associated with iron at $T\approx180,000\,$K to trigger supersonic convection in their outer…
