{{short description|Hot, ionised, gaseous component of a galactic halo}} {{use dmy dates |date=December 2020}} {{inline citations |date=December 2020}} {{incomplete citations |date=December 2020}} The terms '''galactic corona''' and '''gaseous corona''' have been used in the first decade of the 21st century to describe a hot, [[ion]]ised, gaseous component in the [[galactic halo]] of the [[Milky Way]]. A similar body of very hot and tenuous gas in the halo of any [[spiral galaxy]] may also be described by these terms.
