On the baryon budget in the X-ray-emitting circumgalactic medium of Milky Way-mass galaxies

Yi Zhang, Soumya Shreeram, Gabriele Ponti +6

Recent observations with SRG/eROSITA have revealed the average X-ray surface brightness profile of the X-ray-emitting circumgalactic medium (CGM) around Milky Way (MW)-mass galaxie…

The hot circumgalactic medium in stacked X-rays: observations vs simulations

Skylar Grayson, Evan Scannapieco, Johan Comparat +5

Current cosmological simulations rely on active galactic nuclei (AGN) feedback to quench star formation and match observed stellar mass distributions, but models for AGN feedback a…

Quantifying Observational Projection Effects with a Simulation-based hot CGM model

Soumya Shreeram, Johan Comparat, Andrea Merloni +11

The hot phase of the circumgalactic medium (CGM) allows us to probe the inflow and outflow of gas within a galaxy, which is responsible for dictating the evolution of the galaxy. S…
