Non-Equilibrium Ionisation in Photoionised Haloes: Implications for Shock Stability and Absorption-Line Signatures
Itai Bromberg, Kartick C. Sarkar, Orly Gnat +1
We investigate the impact of nonequilibrium ionisation (NEI) and the metagalactic radiation-field on the thermal evolution, virial shock stability, and absorption signatures of gas…
On the kinematic and thermodynamic state of clouds in complex wind-multi-cloud environments using a Friends-of-Friends analysis
Andrei Antipov, Wladimir E. Banda-Barragán, Yuval Birnboim +3
We investigate the interaction between a shock-driven hot wind and a cold multi-cloud layer, for conditions commonly found in interstellar and circumgalactic gas. We present a meth…
Intergalactic-Absorption Confounding Circumgalactic Observations
Itai Bromberg, Kartick C. Sarkar, Orly Gnat +1
The origin of warm ions in the circum-galactic medium (CGM) surrounding massive galaxies remains a mystery. In this paper, we argue that a significant fraction of the observed warm…
Heating Galaxy Clusters with Interacting Dark Matter
Yutaro Shoji, Eric Kuflik, Yuval Birnboim +1
The overcooling of cool core clusters is a persistent puzzle in the astrophysics of galaxy clusters. We propose that it may naturally be resolved via interactions between the baryo…
Efficient Formation of Massive Galaxies at Cosmic Dawn by Feedback-Free Starbursts
Avishai Dekel, Kartick S. Sarkar, Yuval Birnboim +2
JWST observations indicate a surprising excess of luminous galaxies at and above, consistent with efficient conversion of the accreted gas into stars, unlike the suppres…
Ly Blobs from Cold Streams Undergoing Kelvin-Helmholtz Instabilities
Nir Mandelker, Frank C. van den Bosch, Daisuke Nagai +3
We present an analytic toy model for the radiation produced by the interaction between the cold streams thought to feed massive halos at high redshift and their hot CGM. We begin b…
