Survival is not Enough: Dust Sputtering, Growth, and H Formation in Galactic Winds

Chia-Yu Hu, Max Gronke

A substantial amount of dust is found in galactic halos extending far beyond the disks, the origin of which remains an open question. Closely linked and equally puzzling is the det…

The (Limited) Effect of Viscosity in Multiphase Turbulent Mixing

Tirso Marin-Gilabert, Max Gronke, S. Peng Oh

Multiphase gas can be found in many astrophysical environments, such as galactic outflows, stellar wind bubbles, and the circumgalactic medium, where the interplay between turbulen…

The Prevalence of Turbulence-Regulated Multiphase Galactic Winds in Star-Forming Galaxies

Zhihui Li, Timothy Heckman, Max Gronke +8

We build upon our previously developed multi-ion radiative transfer (RT) framework, PEACOCK, to investigate the kinematic and energetic structure of cool-to-warm galactic winds in…

Kinematically Coherent Multiphase Galactic Winds in Star-Forming Galaxies Revealed by Unified Radiative Transfer Modeling of UV Emission and Absorption Lines

Zhihui Li, Timothy Heckman, Max Gronke +8

We present PEACOCK, a three-dimensional Monte Carlo radiative transfer (RT) framework designed to self-consistently model rest-frame ultraviolet emission and absorption lines arisi…

Kinematics of H I and O VI Absorbers: Insights into the Turbulence Driver of the Multiphase Circumgalactic Medium

Zhijie Qu, Hsiao-Wen Chen, Eliana Schiller +2

We investigate large-scale gas kinematics in the multiphase circumgalactic medium (CGM) using the observed correlation between line width (Doppler parameter) and column density…

Simulations of multi-phase gas in and around galaxies

Max Gronke, Evan Schneider

Multiphase gas -- ranging from cold molecular clouds (K) to hot, diffuse plasma (K) is a defining feature of the interstellar, circumgalactic, intra…
