This idea of a galactic halo of hot gas was postulated in 1956 by Lyman Spitzer, who was an astrophysicist at Princeton University.

Combined with its high galactic latitude, this indicates that the star system has its origin in the galactic halo of the Milky Way.
23.
These measurements suggest there was a hiatus of almost 5 billion years between the formation of the galactic halo and the thin disk.
24.
It is a member of the galactic halo; such stars account for only 0.1 to 0.2 percent of the stars near the Sun.
25.
In our galaxy, globular clusters are distributed roughly spherically in the galactic halo, around the galactic centre, orbiting the centre in highly elliptical orbits.
26.
Large enough superbubbles can blow through the entire galactic disk, releasing their energy into the surrounding galactic halo or even into the intergalactic medium.
27.
At a distance of it is the most distant Milky Way globular cluster yet known, located in the galactic halo surrounding the Milky way galaxy.
28.
It has also been used to estimate the age of the Milky Way itself, as exemplified by recent study of Cayrel's Star in the Galactic halo.
29.
Particles of these energies can only originate in the galactic halo or from beyond the galaxy, and their existence is not consistent with the Greisen-Zatsepin-Kuzmin limit.
