Silicate cosmic dust grain collisions in the interstellar medium: A molecular dynamics study
C. J. Esmerian, S. R. Hashemi, W. M. C. Sameera +6
(abridged) We aim to predict the most important parameters for grain-grain collision outcomes for models of interstellar grain population evolution on astrophysical scales: the thr…

The Fates of the Circumgalactic Medium in the FIRE Simulations
Z. Hafen, C. -A. Faucher-Giguere, D. Angles-Alcazar +7
We analyze the different fates of the circumgalactic medium (CGM) in FIRE-2 cosmological simulations, focusing on the redshifts z=0.25 and z=2 representative of recent surveys. Our…

The Origins of the Circumgalactic Medium in the FIRE Simulations
Z. Hafen, C. -A. Faucher-Giguere, D. Angles-Alcazar +10
We use a particle tracking analysis to study the origins of the circumgalactic medium (CGM), separating it into (1) accretion from the intergalactic medium (IGM), (2) wind from the…
