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 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…

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…

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…

The Launching of Galactic Winds from a Multiphase ISM

Fernando Hidalgo-Pineda, Max Gronke, Philipp Grete

Galactic outflows are a key agent of galaxy evolution, yet their observed multiphase nature remains difficult to reconcile with theoretical models, which often fail to explain how…

Woven by the Whirls: The growth and entrainment of cold clouds in turbulent hot winds

Ritali Ghosh, Max Gronke, Prateek Sharma +1

Galactic and intergalactic flows often exhibit relative motion between the cold dense gas and the hot diffuse medium. Such multiphase flows -- involving gas at different temperatur…

Survival of higher overdensity cold gas in a turbulent, multiphase medium

Ashwin Vergis George, Hitesh Kishore Das, Max Gronke

Cold gas clouds embedded in a hot, turbulent medium are expected to be short-lived due to disruptive hydrodynamic instabilities. However, radiative cooling might allow such clouds…

Multi-cloud crushing -- the collective survival of cold clouds in galactic outflows

Benedikt S. Seidl, Max Gronke, Ryan Jeffrey Farber +1

The ram-pressure acceleration of cold gas by hot outflows plays a crucial role in the dynamics of multiphase galactic winds. Recent numerical studies incorporating radiative coolin…

Fading in the Flow: Suppression of cold gas growth in expanding galactic outflows

Alankar Dutta, Prateek Sharma, Max Gronke

Multiphase outflows, revealed by multi-wavelength observations, are crucial in redistributing gas and metals within and around galaxies. These outflows are often modelled theoretic…

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…

MOGLI: Model for Multiphase Gas using Multifluid hydrodynamics

Hitesh Kishore Das, Max Gronke, Rainer Weinberger

Multiphase gas, with hot (K) and cold (K) gas, is ubiquitous in astrophysical media across a wide range of scales. However, simulating multiphase gas has been a…

Strength in numbers: A multiphase wind model with multiple cloud populations

C. Nikolis, M. Gronke

Galactic outflows have a multiphase nature making them challenging to model analytically. Many previous studies have tried to produce models that come closer to reality. In this wo…
