A Simple Sub-Grid Model For Cosmic Ray Effects on Galactic Scales

Philip F. Hopkins, Iryna S. Butsky, Suoqing Ji +1

Many recent numerical studies have argued that cosmic rays (CRs) from supernovae (SNe) or active galactic nuclei (AGN) could play a crucial role in galaxy formation, in particular…

Constraining Cosmic-ray Transport with Observations of the Circumgalactic Medium

Iryna S. Butsky, Shreya Nakum, Sam B. Ponnada +3

Recent theoretical studies predict that the circumgalactic medium (CGM) around low-redshift, galaxies could have substantial nonthermal pressure support in the form of c…

Magnetohydrodynamic Simulations of the Tayler Instability in Rotating Stellar Interiors

Suoqing Ji, Jim Fuller, Daniel Lecoanet

The Tayler instability is an important but poorly studied magnetohydrodynamic instability that likely operates in stellar interiors. The nonlinear saturation of the Tayler instabil…

Magnetic Fields on FIRE: Comparing B-fields in the multiphase ISM and CGM of Simulated L Galaxies to Observations

Sam B. Ponnada, Georgia V. Panopoulou, Iryna S. Butsky +7

The physics of magnetic fields () and cosmic rays (CRs) have recently been included in simulations of galaxy formation. However, significant uncertainties remain in how…

Radiative turbulent mixing layers at high Mach numbers

Yanhui Yang, Suoqing Ji

Radiative turbulent mixing layers (TMLs) are ubiquitous in astrophysical environments, e.g., the circumgalactic medium (CGM), and are triggered by the shear velocity at interfaces…
