The evidence of non-isothermal, extended (>150 kpc), massive (~1e11 Msun), warm-hot (~1e6 K) CGM around an L* star-forming galaxy NGC 3221, which might account for its missing galactic baryons: a joint discovery using Suzaku and XMM-Newton data (Das et al. 2019, ApJ, 885, 108; Das, Mathur & Gupta 2020, ApJ, 897, 63). This is the only L* galaxy with a detected warm-hot CGM. [We have been awarded 430 ks XMM-Newton time to observe it in further detail.]
