Galactic fountains and the rotation of disc-galaxy coronae
In galaxies like the Milky Way, cold (~ 10^4 K) gas ejected from the disc by stellar activity (the so-called galactic-fountain gas) is expected to interact with the virial-temperature (~ 10^6 K) gas of the corona. The associated transfer of momentum between cold and hot gas has important consequence...
