First results from SMAUG: Characterization of Multiphase Galactic Outflows from a Suite of Local Star-Forming Galactic Disk Simulations
Chang-Goo Kim, Eve C. Ostriker, Rachel S. Somerville +6
Large scale outflows in star-forming galaxies are observed to be ubiquitous, and are a key aspect of theoretical modeling of galactic evolution in a cosmological context, the focus…
Multiphase Gas and the Fractal Nature of Radiative Turbulent Mixing Layers
Drummond B. Fielding, Eve C. Ostriker, Greg L. Bryan +1
A common situation in galactic and intergalactic gas involves cold dense gas in motion relative to hot diffuse gas. Kelvin-Helmholtz instability creates a turbulent mixing layer an…
The maximum accretion rate of hot gas in dark matter halos
Jonathan Stern, Drummond Fielding, Claude-André Faucher-Giguère +1
We revisit the question of 'hot mode' versus 'cold mode' accretion onto galaxies using steady-state cooling flow solutions and idealized 3D hydrodynamic simulations. We demonstrate…
Properties of the Simulated Circumgalactic Medium
Cassandra Lochhaas, Greg L. Bryan, Yuan Li +2
The circumgalactic medium (CGM) is closely linked to galaxy formation and evolution, but difficult to characterize observationally and typically poorly resolved in cosmological sim…
Cooling flow solutions for the circumgalactic medium
Jonathan Stern, Drummond Fielding, Claude-André Faucher-Giguère +1
In several models of galaxy formation feedback occurs in cycles or mainly at high redshift. At times and in regions where feedback heating is ineffective, hot gas in the galaxy hal…
Circumgalactic Gas and the Precipitation Limit
G. M. Voit, A. Babul, Iu. Babyk +15
During the last decade, numerous and varied observations, along with increasingly sophisticated numerical simulations, have awakened astronomers to the central role the circumgalac…
