Simulating Groups and the IntraGroup Medium: The Surprisingly Complex and Rich Middle Ground Between Clusters and Galaxies

Benjamin D. Oppenheimer, Arif Babul, Yannick Bahé +2

Galaxy groups are more than an intermediate scale between clusters and halos hosting individual galaxies, they are crucial laboratories capable of testing a range of astrophysics f…

The Impact of Cosmic Rays on Thermal Instability in the Circumgalactic Medium

Iryna S. Butsky, Drummond B. Fielding, Christopher C. Hayward +3

Large reservoirs of cold (~ 10^4 K) gas exist out to and beyond the virial radius in the circumgalactic medium (CGM) of all types of galaxies. Photoionization modeling suggests tha…

Ultraviolet Signatures of the Multiphase Intracluster and Circumgalactic Media in the RomulusC Simulation

Iryna S. Butsky, Joseph N. Burchett, Daisuke Nagai +3

Quasar absorption-line studies in the ultraviolet (UV) can uniquely probe the nature of the multiphase cool-warm (10^4 < T < 10^6 K) gas in and around galaxy clusters, promising to…

Ultraviolet Perspectives on Diffuse Gas in the Largest Cosmic Structures

Joseph N. Burchett, Daisuke Nagai, Iryna Butsky +31

The past decade has seen an explosion of discoveries and new insights into the diffuse gas within galaxies, galaxy clusters, and the filaments composing the Cosmic Web. A new decad…

The Impact of Enhanced Halo Resolution on the Simulated Circumgalactic Medium

Cameron B. Hummels, Britton D. Smith, Philip F. Hopkins +7

Traditional cosmological hydrodynamics simulations fail to spatially resolve the circumgalatic medium (CGM), the reservoir of tenuous gas surrounding a galaxy and extending to its…

The Role of Cosmic Ray Transport in Shaping the Simulated Circumgalactic Medium

Iryna Butsky, Thomas R. Quinn

The majority of galactic baryons reside outside of the galactic disk in the diffuse gas known as the circumgalactic medium (CGM). While state-of-the art simulations excel at reprod…
