“…Furthermore, Cour-tois et al (2015) also indicated that local extended H I disks may be dependent on the galaxy's filamentary environment, suggesting there may be a fundamental distinction between the angular momentum content of filamentary accretion versus isotropic accretion. At moderate redshift (z ∼ 0.5-1.5) there are a growing number of absorption line studies of the circumgalactic medium of galaxies that have begun to emphasize the bi-modal properties of absorbers (Kacprzak et al, 2010(Kacprzak et al, , 2012aBouché et al, 2012Bouché et al, , 2013Crighton et al, 2013;Nielsen et al, 2015;Diamond-Stanic et al, 2016;Bouché et al, 2016;Bowen et al, 2016), where absorbers along a galaxy's major axis tends to show higher angular momentum inflows that are roughly corotating with the galactic disk and absorbers along a galaxy's minor axis tend to instead show observational signatures of outflowing gas. Increasingly, a number of absorption system observations seem to be in agreement with models that include massive, extended structures with inflowing disk-like kinematics (e.g., Bouché et al, 2016;Bowen et al, 2016) At higher redshift (z ∼ 2-3) kinematic studies of Lyα "blobs" have observed large scale rotation that seems consistent with high angular momentum cold gas accretion (Martin et al, 2014;Prescott et al, 2015), and there have also been recent detections of massive protogalactic gaseous disks that are kinematically linked to gas inflow along a cosmic filaments (Martin et al, , 2016.…”
