讲座内容:

Circum-galactic medium (CGM) representsmulti-phase gases and other matters [e.g., cosmic rays (CRs), magnetic field,dust, etc.] beyond the galactic disk and bulge, but typically within the virialradius of their dark matter halos. This multi-phase CGM plays a key role in theco-evolution of galaxies together with their ecosystem, as a reservoirproviding fuels to continue star formation and a depository of energy andmetal-enriched materials ejected by various forms of galactic feedback [e.g.,from AGN, massive stellar wind, or supernovae (SNe)]. As the most extended andvolume filling phase of the CGM, the X-ray emitting hot gas potentiallycontains a large fraction of the galactic baryon and energy budgets; itsorigin, spatial distribution, dynamical state, as well as physical and chemicalproperties are thus critical in determining how the CGM interacts with thegalaxies. I will summarize what we have learned about the hot CGM from theexisting X-ray observations. I will also present brief prospects on futureworks on the hot CGM with the existing and forthcoming X-ray missions, as wellas the multi-phase CGM observed in multi-wavelength observations and the CGMstudy at the high redshift universe.
