Probing the CGM of Low-redshift Dwarf Galaxies Using FIRE Simulations

Fei Li, Mubdi Rahman, Norman Murray +7

Observations of UV metal absorption lines have provided insight into the structure and composition of the circumgalactic medium (CGM) around galaxies. We compare these observations…

Survey of Extremely High-velocity Outflows in Sloan Digital Sky Survey Quasars

Paola Rodríguez Hidalgo, Abdul Moiz Khatri, Patrick B. Hall +5

We present a survey of extremely high-velocity outflows (EHVOs) in quasars, defined by speeds between 0.1c and 0.2c. This region of the parameter space has not been included in pre…

Virialization of the inner CGM in the FIRE simulations and implications for galaxy discs, star formation and feedback

Jonathan Stern, Claude-André Faucher-Giguère, Drummond Fielding +13

We use the FIRE-2 cosmological simulations to study the formation of a quasi-static, virial-temperature gas phase in the circumgalactic medium (CGM) at redshifts 0<z<5, and how the…

Pressure balance in the multiphase ISM of cosmologically simulated disk galaxies

Alexander B. Gurvich, Claude-André Faucher-Giguère, Alexander J. Richings +13

Pressure balance plays a central role in models of the interstellar medium (ISM), but whether and how pressure balance is realized in a realistic multiphase ISM is not yet well und…

Reproducing the CO-to-H conversion factor in cosmological simulations of Milky Way-mass galaxies

Laura C. Keating, Alexander J. Richings, Norman Murray +8

We present models of CO(1-0) emission from Milky Way-mass galaxies at redshift zero in the FIRE-2 cosmological zoom-in simulations. We calculate the molecular abundances by post-pr…
