The Hot Circumgalactic Medium of the Milky Way: New Insights from XMM-Newton Observations

We present XMM-Newton observations around the sight line of Mrk 421. The emission spectrum of the Milky Way (MW) circumgalactic medium (CGM) shows that a two-phase model is a better fit to the data compared to a single-phase model; in addition to the warm-hot virial phase at log ( T /K) = 6.30 ± 0.0...
