We investigate the kinematics of the molecular gas in a sample of seven edge-on (i>60{\deg}) galaxies identified as hosting large-scale outflows of ionised gas, using ALMA CO(1-0) observations at ~ 1kpc resolution. We build on Hogarth et…

We present ISM and CGM metallicities for 25 absorption systems associated with isolated star-forming galaxies (<z>=0.28) with 9.4<log(M*/Msun)<10.9 and with absorption detected within 200kpc. Galaxy ISM metallicities were measured using…

The observed intergalactic OVI absorbers at z>0 have been regarded as a significant reservoir of the ``missing baryons''. However, to fully understand how these absorbers contribute to the baryon inventory, it is crucial to determine…

We study the $z\approx3.5$ intergalactic medium (IGM) by comparing new, high-quality absorption spectra of eight QSOs with $\langle z_{\rm QSO} \rangle=3.75$, to virtual observations of the EAGLE cosmological hydrodynamical simulations. We…

We study the properties of kinematically disturbed galaxies in the SAMI Galaxy Survey using a quantitative criterion, based on kinemetry (Krajnovic et al.). The approach, similar to the application of kinemetry by Shapiro et al. uses…

O VI absorption is observed in a wide range of astrophysical environments, including the Local ISM, the disk and halo of the Milky Way, high-velocity clouds, the Magellanic clouds, starburst galaxies, the intergalactic medium, damped…

We study HI and metal-line absorption around $z\approx2$ star-forming galaxies by comparing an analysis of data from the Keck Baryonic Structure Survey to mock spectra generated from the EAGLE cosmological, hydrodynamical simulations. We…

OVI absorption in quasar spectra caused by intervening circumgalactic atmospheres suggests a downturn in the atmospheric column density in sightlines passing beyond about 100 kpc from central star-forming galaxies. This turnover supports…

Some early-type galaxies show OVI emission, a tracer of gas at 10^5.5 K, and a predicted product of gas cooling from the X-ray emitting temperatures. We studied the spatial extent and velocity structure of this cooling gas by obtaining…

Many of the baryons associated with a galaxy reside in its circumgalactic medium (CGM), in a diffuse volume-filling phase at roughly the virial temperature. Much of the oxygen produced over cosmic time by the galaxy's stars also ends up…

We present I-band photometry, long-slit optical spectroscopy, and new aperture synthesis HI observations for eight late-type spirals with rotation velocities in the range 243 km/s < V_{rot} < 308 km/s. The sample will be used to study the…

Recent ultraviolet and X-ray observations of intergalactic OVI and OVII absorption systems along lines of sight to bright quasars have opened a new window onto the ``warm-hot intergalactic medium'' (WHIM). These systems appear to provide a…

Advances in instrumentation have recently extended detailed measurements of gas kinematics to large samples of high-redshift galaxies. Relative to most nearby, thin disk galaxies, in which gas rotation accurately traces the gravitational…

The UV spectra of Galactic and extragalactic sightlines often show OVI absorption lines at a range of redshifts, and from a variety of sources from the Galactic circumgalactic medium to AGN outflows. Inner shell OVI absorption is also…

High signal-to-noise spectra toward background quasars are crucial for uncovering weak absorption in the circumgalactic medium (CGM) of intervening galaxies, such as the diagnostic lines of N V that provide insight to the ionization process…

A technique is introduced for deriving the gaseous rotation curves of edge-on spiral galaxies. The entire major axis position-velocity (XV) diagram is modeled with a set of rings in a least-squares sense, allowing for the effects of…

Comparisons of the kinematics of Mg II absorbing gas and the stellar rotation curves in 0.5 < z < 1.0 spiral galaxies suggests that, at least in some cases, the extended gaseous envelopes may be dynamically coupled to the stellar matter. A…
