Understanding the circumgalactic medium is critical for understanding galaxy evolution
·
Abstract
The circumgalactic medium is a major reservoir of baryons and metals, playing a key role in the long cycles of accretion, feedback, and recycling of gas driving galaxy evolution. Fundamental progress on major issues in galaxy evolution depends critically on improved empirical characterization and theoretical understanding of circumgalactic gas.
