| Summary: | The dependence of the thermal pressure of hot galactic halos on a model
parameter describing the frequency of major reheating episodes during
galactic history is investigated. Pressure on the interface between
interstellar medium and the halo gas is especially interesting, since
empirical evidence here offers one of the simplest constraints on halo
models. It is shown that two-phase model of Mo & Miralda-Escudé is
sufficiently robust with respect to uncertainties in the average interval
between reheating. |
