Slow Rotation of Gas in the Halos of Edge-on Galaxies M82 and NGC 4631

Slow Rotation of Gas in the Halos of Edge-on Galaxies M82 and NGC 4631

The rotation velocity of molecular gas in the halos of M82 and NGC4631 decreases with the height from the galactic plane. The slower rotation of halo gas can be explained if the gas is supplied from the central region of the galaxies due to some ejection.
