The COS CGM Compendium. V. The Dichotomy of O vi Associated with Low- and High-metallicity Cool Gas at z < 1

We analyze the O vi content and kinematics for 126 H i -selected absorbers at 0.14 ≲ z ≲ 0.73 for which the metallicities of their cool photoionized phase have been determined. We separate the absorbers into 100 strong Ly α forest systems (SLFSs with 15 ≲ log N (H i ) < 16.2) and 26 partial Lyman...
