2 Three Main Results Million-degree Gas permeates both the Disk and Halo of our Galaxy A spherically symmetric structure in the density profile of the million-degree halo gas tracks the current position of a shock-front generated 6 Million years ago by an energetic outflow powered by an AGN-like accretion episode The Mass of the OVII-bearing Gas is sufficient to close the Galaxy s Baryon Census 5/25/16 Vulcano Workshop 2016 (F. Nicastro) 2

3 The Galaxy Missing Baryons Problem Cosmological Baryon Fraction f b = The baryon deficit is more severe in smaller galaxies è Less massive objects are unable to retain baryons (and metals?) due to feedback processes (winds)? è Are these baryons in the surrounding CGM/IGM? 5/25/16 Vulcano Workshop 2016 (F. Nicastro) 3

4 The Milky Way s Baryon Problem (M b ) Obs = 6.5x10 10 M (McMillian & Binney, 2012) M DM = (1-2)x10 12 M (Boylan-Kolchin+12) f b = (The Plank Collaboration, 2015) è M b /(M b ) Obs M b Missing (1.5-3)x10 11 M 5/27/16 Vulcano Workshop 2016 (F. Nicastro) 4

8 The Optimal OVII Sample Differs from previous (e.g. Gupta+12, Miller&Bregman13): - HGL + LGL for the first time - Complete to SNRE>10 at 22 Å - Remove NOVII-b Degeneracy 18/20 (90%) LGL have OVII, but only 14 known distance (1 contaminated) 52 HGL; 9 contaminated + 3 Instr.Feat.; 34/39 (87%) have OVII, but only 18 Kα & Kβ è 13 LGL (XRBs) + 18 HGL (AGNs) = 31 LoS 5/25/16 Vulcano Workshop 2016 (F.

13 OVII Emission Measure In 1-sr around l=90 0, b=60 0 : EM = cm -6 pc (McCammon+02) EM(A; b 60 0 ;30 0 <l<150 0 )= cm 6 pc EM(B; b 60 0 ;30 0 <l<150 0 )= cm 6 pc. Toward the Galactic Center at b <20 0 and across the Fermi Bubbles: EM = ( ) cm -6 pc (Kataoka+15) EM(A; b 20 0 ;340 0 <l<20 0 )= cm 6 pc EM(B; b 20 0 ;340 0 <l<20 0 )= cm 6 pc, 5/25/16 Vulcano Workshop 2016 (F.

14 The 6-kpc Central Cavity (other pieces of evidence) Size and shape similar to Fermi Bubbles (gamma-rays) and Plank Haze (microwave): Dobler+10; Su+10 Seen in Hα and IR emission: Bland-Hawthorn+03 Seen in modulation of X-ray EM across edges of Fermi Bubbles: Kataoka+15 Resolved in moderate-ionization double-peaked (nearand far-side of the bubble) metal absorption suggesting expansion v 1000 km/s: Fox+15 5/25/16 Vulcano Workshop 2016 (F. Nicastro) 14

15 A Distant Echo of Central Activity A fast moving piston powered by a period of activity of our supermassive black hole moves outwards and compresses the ambient gas while pushing (a fraction of) it outwards (i.e. Davè+11; Faucher-Giguère & Quataert, 2012, Lapi+05) Nuclear energy-conserving outflows with v in km/s produce shock traveling at v s 1000 km/s (Faucher- Giguère & Quataert, 2012) At this rate it would take 6 Myrs for the OVII-traced shock to reach its current position at 6 kpc (6 ± 2) Myr is also the age of 2 stellar disks in the innermost 0.2 pc of the Milky Way, thought to be a relic of a gaseous accretion disk (Paumard+06; Levin, Beloborodov 03) 5/25/16 Vulcano Workshop 2016 (F. Nicastro) 15

18 Conclusions Million-degree Gas permeates both the Disk and Halo of our Galaxy A spherically symmetric structure in the density profile of the million-degree halo gas tracks the current position of a shock-front generated 6 Million years ago by an energetic outflow powered by an AGN-like accretion episode The Mass of the OVII-bearing Gas may be sufficient to close the Galaxy s Baryon Census 5/25/16 Vulcano Workshop 2016 (F.
