Intergalactic Absorption Confounding Circumgalactic Observations
The origin of warm ions in the circumgalactic medium (CGM) surrounding massive galaxies remains a mystery. In this paper, we argue that a significant fraction of the observed warm-ion columns may arise in the intergalactic medium (IGM) surrounding galactic halos. We use a simple spherical collapse m...
