Cooling Flows as a Reference Solution for the Hot Circumgalactic Medium

Imran Sultan, Claude-André Faucher-Giguère, Jonathan Stern +3

The circumgalactic medium (CGM) in halos is dominated by a hot phase ( K). While many models exist for the hot gas structur…

Ne VIII in the warm-hot circumgalactic medium of FIRE simulations and in observations

Nastasha A. Wijers, Claude-André Faucher-Giguère, Jonathan Stern +2

The properties of warm-hot gas around galaxies can be studied with absorption lines from highly ionized metals. We predict Ne VIII column densities from cosmological z…

Effects of multi-channel AGN feedback in FIRE cosmological simulations of massive galaxies

Lindsey Byrne, Claude-André Faucher-Giguère, Sarah Wellons +6

Feedback from supermassive black holes is believed to be a critical driver of the observed color bimodality of galaxies above the Milky Way mass scale. AGN feedback has been modele…

Stellar feedback-regulated black hole growth: driving factors from nuclear to halo scales

Lindsey Byrne, Claude-André Faucher-Giguère, Jonathan Stern +4

Several recent simulations of galaxy formation predict two main phases of supermassive black hole (BH) accretion: an early, highly intermittent phase (during which BHs are under-ma…

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…

Implementing Dust Shielding as a Criteria for Star Formation

Lindsey Byrne, Charlotte Christensen, Marios Tsekitsidis +2

Star formation is observed to be strongly correlated to dense regions of molecular gas. Although the exact nature of the link between star formation and molecular hydrogen is still…
