Learn about the warm-hot circumgalactic medium in this one-hour lecture presented by Professor Smita Mathur from Ohio State University. Explore the mystery of missing baryons in the low-redshift Universe across all scales and delve into detailed CGM simulations. Examine the XMM-Newton spectrum findings toward 1ES1553, featuring an exposure time of 1.85 Ms and SNRE 43. Investigate non-solar mixtures, chemical tagging processes, and understand the distribution patterns of various CGM phases. Study the application of the Maller & Bullock profile in modeling and discover how external galaxies appear in absorption. Gain comprehensive insights into this crucial astronomical phenomenon that bridges our understanding of galactic evolution and cosmic structure.
