10 How can we study the CGM? STATISTICALLY 1. Blind survey mix bag of galaxies, misidentifications, expensive to study the innermost CGM. 2. Galaxy selected better control of selected galaxies, we know where to look, can probe the CGM close to the galaxy.

T he Extent of C IVÈAbsorbing Gas Around Galaxies To determine the extent of C IVÈabsorbing gas around galaxies, we examined the relationship between rest-frame C IV j1548 equivalent width W and galaxy impact parameter o. Figure 2 shows W versus o for the 14 galaxy and absorber pairs and the 36 galaxies that do not produce corresponding C IV absorption to within sensitive upper limits.

Open points with arrows indicate 3 p upper limits of nondetections. gaseous envelopes of radius R B h~1 kpc, with abrupt boundaries between the C IV absorbing and nonabsorbing regions T he Relationship between Properties of C IV Absorption Systems and Properties of Galaxies To determine how properties of the C IV absorption systems depend on properties of the galaxies, we examined the relationship between rest-frame C IV j1548 equivalent width W and galaxy impact parameter o scaling for various properties (luminosity, surface brightness, and redshift) of the galaxies. Motivated by the apparent abrupt boundary between the C IV absorbing and nonabsorbing regions and the apparent lack of a W versus o anticorrelation described in 3.3, we modeled the distribution of C IV clouds in the extended gaseous envelopes of galaxies by uniform spheres of radius that depends on some property of the galaxy. Then the number n of C IVÈabsorbing clouds intercepted along the line of sight is proportional to the path length through the sphere: CIV 1548 [må] n \ 2l [R2(x) [ o2]1@2, (1) where l is the number density per unit length of the clouds, R is the radius of the sphere, and x is some property of the galaxy. Because C IV equivalent width is correlated with the number of individual absorbing components intercepted along the line of sight (Wolfe 1986; York et al. 1986; Petitjean & Bergeron 1994), we take W \ nk, where k is the equivalent width of a typical absorbing component. Combining equations (1) and (2), the C IV equivalent width W expected at impact parameter o is given by CIV 1548 [må] o [ R(x), o Z R(x), W \ kl [R2(x) [ o2]1@2 ρ /R vir =. 1.5 ρ /R vir =. 1.5 as a functionof some property of the galaxy x. First, we established a Ðducial Ðt of the model described by equation (2) to the observations ρ for / Rthe vir case in which the radius of the sphere does not depend on any property of the galaxy, i.e., for R \ R, where R is the absorbing radius of (2) plot_rb_test: dwarfs_6_4 vs_rhokpc.eps Thu Jan 2 13:16: plot_rb_test: dwarfs_6_4 vs_rvir.eps Thu Jan 2 13:43: 214
