DUST IN THE CIRCUMGALACTIC MEDIUM OF LOW-REDSHIFT GALAXIES

Using spectroscopically selected galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey we present a detection of reddening effects from the circumgalactic medium of galaxies which we attribute to an extended distribution of dust. We detect the mean change in the colors of "standard crayons" correlate...
