Ardua: Unveiling the Baryon Cycle from Stars to the Cosmic Web
Carlos J. Vargas, Caroline Kilbourne, Haeun Chung +29
The circumgalactic medium (CGM) -- the multiphase gas reservoirs surrounding galaxies -- remains the least understood component of the baryon cycle governing galaxy growth, despite…
Figuring Out Gas & Galaxies In Enzo (FOGGIE). XIV. The Observability of Emission from Accretion and Feedback in the Circumgalactic Medium with Current and Future Instruments
Vida Saeedzadeh, Jason Tumlinson, Molly S. Peeples +11
Observing the circumgalactic medium (CGM) in emission lines from ionized gas enables direct mapping of its spatial and kinematic structure, offering new insight into the gas flows…
Figuring Out Gas & Galaxies In Enzo (FOGGIE) XI: Circumgalactic O VI Emission Traces Clumpy Inflowing Recycled Gas
Cassandra Lochhaas, Molly S. Peeples, Brian W. O'Shea +11
The circumgalactic medium (CGM) is host to gas flows into and out of galaxies and regulates galaxy growth, but the multiphase, diffuse gas in this region is challenging to observe.…
Dust in the Smith Cloud? A UV Investigation into the Smith Cloud's Gas-Phase Abundance Patterns
Johanna Vazquez, Kathleen Barger, Frances Cashman +11
The Smith Cloud is a high-velocity cloud (HVC) on its final approach to the Milky Way that shows evidence of interaction with the Galaxy's disk. We investigate the metallicity and…
FOGGIE X: Characterizing the Small-Scale Structure of the CGM and its Imprint on Observables
Ramona Augustin, Jason Tumlinson, Molly S. Peeples +11
One of the main unknowns in galaxy evolution is how gas flows into and out of galaxies in the circumgalactic medium (CGM). Studies observing the CGM in absorption using multiple or…
Optical alignment of contamination-sensitive Far-Ultraviolet spectrographs for Aspera SmallSat mission
Aafaque R. Khan, Erika Hamden, Haeun Chung +48
Aspera is a NASA Astrophysics Pioneers SmallSat mission designed to study diffuse OVI emission from the warm-hot phase gas in the halos of nearby galaxies. Its payload consists of…
Figuring Out Gas & Galaxies In Enzo (FOGGIE) VII: The (Dis)Assembly of Stellar Halos
Anna C. Wright, Jason Tumlinson, Molly S. Peeples +7
Over the next decade, the astronomical community will be commissioning multiple wide-field observatories well-suited for studying stellar halos in both integrated light and resolve…
Figuring Out Gas & Galaxies In Enzo (FOGGIE). IV. The Stochasticity of Ram Pressure Stripping in Galactic Halos
Raymond C. Simons, Molly S. Peeples, Jason Tumlinson +9
We study ram pressure stripping in simulated Milky Way-like halos at z>=2 from the Figuring Out Gas & Galaxies In Enzo (FOGGIE) project. These simulations reach exquisite resolutio…
Figuring Out Gas & Galaxies in Enzo (FOGGIE). III. The Mocky Way: Investigating Biases in Observing the Milky Way's Circumgalactic Medium
Yong Zheng, Molly S. Peeples, Brian W. O'Shea +6
The circumgalactic medium (CGM) of the Milky Way is mostly obscured by nearby gas in position-velocity space because we reside inside the Galaxy. Substantial biases exist in most s…
A Need for Dedicated Outreach Expertise and Online Programming: Astro2020 Science White Paper
Amanda E Bauer, Britt Lundgren, William O'Mullane +4
Maximizing the public impact of astronomy projects in the next decade requires NSF-funded centers to support the development of online, mobile-friendly outreach and education activ…
Understanding the circumgalactic medium is critical for understanding galaxy evolution
Molly S. Peeples, Peter Behroozi, Rongmon Bordoloi +69
Galaxies evolve under the influence of gas flows between their interstellar medium and their surrounding gaseous halos known as the circumgalactic medium (CGM). The CGM is a major…
Figuring Out Gas & Galaxies in Enzo (FOGGIE). II. Emission from the z=3 Circumgalactic Medium
Lauren Corlies, Molly S. Peeples, Jason Tumlinson +4
Observing the circumgalactic medium (CGM) in emission provides 3D maps of the spatial and kinematic extent of the gas that fuels galaxies and receives their feedback. We present mo…
Figuring Out Gas & Galaxies in Enzo (FOGGIE). I. Resolving Simulated Circumgalactic Absorption at 2 < z < 2.5
Molly S. Peeples, Lauren Corlies, Jason Tumlinson +7
We present simulations from the new "Figuring Out Gas & Galaxies in Enzo" (FOGGIE) project. In contrast to most extant simulations of galaxy formation, which concentrate computatio…
Exploring Simulated Early Star Formation in the Context of the Ultrafaint Dwarf Galaxies
Lauren Corlies, Kathryn V. Johnston, John H. Wise
Ultrafaint dwarf galaxies (UFDs) are typically assumed to have simple, stellar populations with star formation ending at reionization. Yet as the observations of these galaxies con…
Project AMIGA: A Minimal Covering Factor for Optically Thick Circumgalactic Gas Around the Andromeda Galaxy
J. Christopher Howk, Christopher B. Wotta, Michelle A. Berg +19
We present a deep search for HI 21-cm emission from the gaseous halo of Messier 31 as part of Project AMIGA, a large program Hubble Space Telescope program to study the circumgalac…
Empirically Constrained Predictions for Metal-Line Emission from the Circumgalactic Medium
Lauren Corlies, David Schiminovich
The circumgalactic medium (CGM) remains one of the least constrained components of galaxies and as such has significant potential for advancing galaxy formation theories. In this w…
Role of Cosmic Rays in the Circumgalactic Medium
