A systematic study of AGN feedback in a disk galaxy using MACER II: predictions of X-ray surface brightness profiles and comparison with eROSITA observations

Yuxuan Zou, Feng Yuan, Suoqing Ji +6

Recently, we have performed a systematic study of AGN feedback in a disk galaxy within the MACER framework. Various model predictions, including the AGN duty cycle, the correlation…

The hot circumgalactic medium in stacked X-rays: observations vs simulations

Skylar Grayson, Evan Scannapieco, Johan Comparat +5

Current cosmological simulations rely on active galactic nuclei (AGN) feedback to quench star formation and match observed stellar mass distributions, but models for AGN feedback a…

Introducing the Descriptive Parametric Model: Gaseous Profiles for Galaxies, Groups, and Clusters

Benjamin D. Oppenheimer, G. Mark Voit, Yannick M. Bahé +14

We develop and present the Descriptive Parametric Model (DPM), a tool for generating profiles of gaseous halos (pressure, electron density, and metallicity) as functions of radius,…

Quantifying Observational Projection Effects with a Simulation-based hot CGM model

Soumya Shreeram, Johan Comparat, Andrea Merloni +11

The hot phase of the circumgalactic medium (CGM) allows us to probe the inflow and outflow of gas within a galaxy, which is responsible for dictating the evolution of the galaxy. S…

Massive black holes in nuclear star clusters: Investigation with SRG/eROSITA X-ray data

Nils Hoyer, Riccardo Arcodia, Silvia Bonoli +4

Massive black holes (MBHs) are typically hosted in the centres of massive galaxies but they appear to become rarer in lower mass galaxies, where nuclear star clusters (NSCs) freque…
