Assuming that the gas in the halo of a disk galaxy is supplied from the disk as a hot gas, we have studied its dynamical and thermal behavior by means of a time dependent, two-dimensional hydrodynamic code. Depending upon the temperature and density of the gas at the disk, three types of gaseous halo are formed, that is, a wind-type, a bound-type and a cooled-type halo. In the former two cases, the hot gaseous halo with the temperature higher than 3 × 105 K is formed, and the X-ray emission of the luminosity 1037 ˜ 1039 ergs/ s is expected in 0.3 ˜ 4 keV region. In the cooled-type halo, the halo gas collapses to the disk plane after a rapid radiative cooling, and this will be observed as infalling, high-velocity clouds. Some discussions on the role of gaseous halo for a disk galaxy are given.
