Circumgalactic Medium at High Halo Masses—Signatures of Cold Gas Depletion in Luminous Red Galaxies

We study ultraviolet H i and metal-line transitions in the circumgalactic medium (CGM) of 15 massive, quenched luminous red galaxies (LRGs) at redshift z ∼ 0.5 and with impact parameters up to 400 kpc. We selected eight LRG–CGM systems to study general properties of the CGM around LRGs, while the ot...
