On the OVI Abundance in the Circumgalactic Medium of Low-Redshift Galaxies

© 2016 The Authors. We analyse the mass, temperature, metal enrichment, and OVI abundance of the circumgalactic medium (CGM) around z ~ 0.2 galaxies of mass 109M⊙ < M* < 1011.5M⊙ in the Illustris simulation. Among star-forming galaxies, the mass, temperature, and metallicity of the CGM increas...
