  1. The Nature of the OVI Absorbers at low z : their Connection with the Galaxies Bastien ARACIL University of Massachusetts, USA • Todd M. Tripp • Jason X. Prochaska • David V. Bowen • Brenda L. Frye

  2. Why OVI Absorbers OVI tracer of hot gas ( T~105 - 106 K ) Hot gas in : IGM : the WHIM Predictions: Shock heated by gravitational infall into LSS (T~105 - 107 K), 30% to 40% of the baryonic mass (Fukugita et al. 1998; Stocke et al. 2005; Cen & Ostriker 1999; Davé et al. 1999,2001) FUSE & HST Observations: WHIM with OVI, 5% - 10% of the baryonic mass (Tripp et al. 2000; Savage et al. 2002; Danforth & Shull 2005) • Halos of Galaxies : the HVCs • Detected in OVI with FUSE around the Milky Way and Local Group. • OVI is an indicator of interface between between hot halos and cooler infalling gas • (Murphy et al. 2000; Sembach et al. 2000,2003, Collins et al. 2004) • Potential well of galaxy groups • OVI tracer of the intragroup gas in spiral-dominated group (Mulchaey et al. 1996) • Again, OVI indicator of the interface between infalling cool gas and hot intragroup medium. (Shull et al. 2004)

  6. Associates OVI Absorbers – Galaxies Associations PG1116+215 : 8 OVI H1821+643 : 6 OVI PG0953+415 : 3 OVI No clear direct association  Include type or/and magnitude min(ρ) with |Δv| <500 km/s But correlation from MC simulation Near Neighbor method

  7. Lyα absorptions Absorption Associated with a Spiral rich group LOS to the quasar HS0624+6907 (zem≈0.37) Lyα absorptions at zabs~0.0635, Δv ~ 1000 km/s

  12. Absorption Associated with a Spiral rich group Metals - CIV, SiIII, SiIV detected - no OVI Modelisation • - Voigt profile fitting  N,b,z • CI model: (Sutherland & Dopita ,1993) • Narrow HI lines • Need T>104.9 K • But CIV widths give T~104 K
