The hot circum-galactic medium (CGM) represents the hot gas distributed beyond the stellar content of the galaxies while typically within their dark matter halos. It serves as a depository of energy and metal-enriched materials from galactic feedback and a reservoir from which the galaxy acquires fuels to form stars. It thus plays a critical role in the coevolution of galaxies and their environments. X-rays are one of the best ways to trace the hot CGM. I will briefly review what we have learned about the hot CGM based on X-ray observations over the past two decades, and what we still do not know. I will also briefly prospect what may be the foreseeable breakthrough in the next one or two decades with future X-ray missions.

  1. An X-ray Absorption-Line Survey of the Circumgalactic Medium of M31 with XMM-Newton

    astro-ph.GA 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The first multi-sightline X-ray absorption survey toward M31 reports a 2.2-2.3 sigma excess in O VII and O VIII equivalent widths inside 300-350 kpc, consistent with a hot circumgalactic medium.
