Giant galaxy growing from recycled gas: ALMA maps the circumgalactic molecular medium of the Spiderweb in [C i] (2018)
Journal Article

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters, 477(1), L60-L65. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnrasl/sly034

The circumgalactic medium (CGM) of the massive Spiderweb Galaxy, a conglomerate of merging proto-cluster galaxies at z = 2.2, forms an enriched interface where feedback and recycling act on accreted gas. This is shown by observations of [C i], CO(1-0... Read More about Giant galaxy growing from recycled gas: ALMA maps the circumgalactic molecular medium of the Spiderweb in [C i].
