Non-equilibrium ionization in the multiphase circumgalactic medium -- impact on quasar absorption-line analyses
This paper presents an updated framework for studying the ionizing conditions and elemental abundances of photoionized, metal-enriched quasar absorption systems. The standard assumption of ionization equilibrium invoked in absorption line analyses requires gas to cool on longer timescales than ionic...
