Seminario DAS: Mapping the Hot Phase of CGMs in Nearby Galaxies

Speaker: Dr. Li Ji
Affiliation: Purple Mountain Observatory, CAS, China

Abstract: Mapping the circumgalactic medium (CGM) in emission is one of the important scientific goals for astronomers to either use the modern ground-based telescopes or the future space missions.  CGMs are multi-phases, key to understand  the galaxy ecosystem and its accretion and feedback. In this talk, I will introduce a few scientific projects in our group for the efforts in understanding the mechanims of the hot diffuse emission in nearby universe with high spectral resolution data X-ray. In addition, I will introduce the prospective X-ray mission in the near future in China.
