New and archival interferometric 12CO(1->0) datasets from six nearby galaxies are combined with H_2 2.122um and H-alpha maps to explore in detail the interstellar medium in different star-forming galaxies. We investigate the relation…
A combination of the X-ray imaging and SZ measurements of clusters permits an indirect determination of the radial temperature profiles of intracluster gas, which requires no assumption about the dynamical properties and the equation of…
The origin of the recently reported systematic bias in the spectroscopic temperature of galaxy clusters is investigated using cosmological hydrodynamical simulations. We find that the local inhomogeneities of the gas temperature and…
We present a detailed diagnostic study of the observed temperatures of the hot X-ray coronae of early-type galaxies. By extending the investigation carried out in Pellegrini (2011) with spherical models, we focus on the dependence of the…
[Abridged] The entropy distribution of the intracluster gas reflects both accretion history of the gas and processes of feedback which provide a further non-gravitational energy besides the potential one. In this work, we study the profiles…
Early-type galaxies often contain a hot X-ray emitting interstellar medium (3-8E6 K) with an apparent radiative cooling time much less than a Hubble time. If unopposed by a heating mechanism, the gas will radiatively cool to temperatures <=…
We present a phenomenological model of feedback in early-type galaxies that tracks the evolution of the interstellar medium gas mass, metallicity, and temperature. Modeling the star formation rate as a Schmidt law with a…
X-ray luminosity, temperature, gas mass, total mass, and their scaling relations are derived for 94 early-type galaxies using archival $Chandra$ X-ray Observatory observations. Consistent with earlier studies, the scaling relations, $L_X…
Galaxy formation models predict that local galaxies are surrounded by hot X-ray-emitting halos, which are technically difficult to detect due to their extended and low surface brightness nature. Previous X-ray studies have mostly focused on…
We present fully-sampled maps of 461 GHz CO (4-3), 807 GHz CO (7-6), and 492 GHz [CI] (3P1-3P0) emission from the inner 3 degrees of the Galactic Center region taken with the Antarctic Submillimeter Telescope and Remote Observatory (AST/RO)…
Direct measurements of cosmic ray (CR) species combined with observations of their associated gamma-ray emissions can be used to constrain models of CR propagation, trace the structure of the Galaxy, and search for signatures of new…
We have used the ROSAT PSPC to study the properties of a sample of 24 X-ray bright galaxy groups, representing the largest sample examined in detail to date. Hot plasma models are fitted to the spectral data to derive temperatures, and…
We explore the possibly important influence of cooled interstellar gas on the fundamental plane of elliptical galaxies. Interstellar cooling is described by a parameterized sink term in the equation of continuity. Parameters that give the…
The cold and hot interstellar medium (ISM) in star forming galaxies resembles the reservoir for star formation and associated heating by stellar winds and explosions during stellar evolution, respectively. We utilize data from deep…
In many clusters of galaxies, the cooling time at the core of the intracluster medium is much less than the age of the system, suggesting that the the gas should continually lose energy by radiation. Simple thermodynamic arguments then…
We studied the effect of interstellar gas conditions on global galaxy simulations by considering three different models for the ISM. Our first model included only radiative cooling down to 300 K, our second model added an additional…
We present maps of the Galactic X-ray Halo and constrain the location of X-ray absorbing gas using the X-ray radiation transfer as distance a indicator. Based on a consistent model of the soft X-ray background (SXRB) and the ROSAT all-sky…
Large-scale filaments ubiquitously exist in the Galactic interstellar medium, and their radial profiles offer insights into their formation mechanisms. We present a statistical analysis of molecular hydrogen column density ($\rm N(H_2)$)…
We analyze the intracluster medium (ICM) and circumgalactic medium (CGM) in 7 X-ray detected galaxy clusters using spectra of background QSOs (HST-COS/STIS), optical spectroscopy of the cluster galaxies (MMT/Hectospec and SDSS), and X-ray…
Interstellar thermal pressures can be measured using C I absorption lines that probe the pressure-sensitive populations of the fine-structure levels of its ground state. In a survey of C I absorption toward Galactic hot stars, Jenkins &…
