Phase-dependent magnetic coherence in the turbulent interstellar medium

Iryna S. Butsky, Caleb Redshaw, Minjie Lei +2

Magnetic fields permeate the multiphase interstellar medium (ISM), yet their phase-dependent structure remains poorly constrained by observations. Dust polarization and \ion{H}{1}…

Strong Evidence for Cosmic Ray-Supported L Galaxy Halos via X-ray \& tSZ Constraints

Sam B. Ponnada, Philip F. Hopkins, Yue Samuel Lu +3

Many state-of-the-art galaxy simulations featuring traditional feedback modes have significant challenges producing enough extended soft X-ray ( keV) emission at R $\si…

Neutral gas phase distribution from HI morphology: phase separation with scattering spectra and variational autoencoders

Minjie Lei, S. E. Clark, Rudy Morel +4

Unraveling the multi-phase structure of the diffuse interstellar medium (ISM) as traced by neutral hydrogen (HI) is essential to understanding the lifecycle of the Milky Way. Howev…

Cold Gas Subgrid Model (CGSM): A Two-Fluid Framework for Modeling Unresolved Cold Gas in Galaxy Simulations

Iryna S. Butsky, Cameron B. Hummels, Philip F. Hopkins +2

The cold () component of the circumgalactic medium (CGM) accounts for a significant fraction of all galactic baryons. However, using current galaxy-scale simu…

Hooks, Lines, and Sinkers: How AGN Feedback and Cosmic-Ray Transport shape the Far Infrared-Radio Correlation of Galaxies

Sam B. Ponnada, Rachel K. Cochrane, Philip F. Hopkins +7

The far-infrared (FIR) - radio correlation (FRC) is one of the most promising empirical constraints on the role of cosmic-rays (CRs) and magnetic fields (\textbf{B}) in galaxy form…
