Supersonic Motion in the Driving Region of M82

Skylar Grayson, Evan Scannapieco, Philipp Grete +5

The prototypical starburst galaxy M82 is host to an expansive, multiphase outflow whose driving mechanism is not fully understood. Longstanding models suggest that energy and mass…

A Fast, Hot Wind from a Nuclear Starburst

XRISM Collaboration, Marc Audard, Hisamitsu Awaki +137

Galaxies with intense star formation often host multiphase, galaxy-scale winds powered by supernovae and fast stellar winds. These are strong enough to disrupt the star-forming int…

Comparing XRISM cluster velocity dispersions with predictions from cosmological simulations: are feedback models too ejective?

XRISM Collaboration, Marc Audard, Hisamitsu Awaki +147

The dynamics of the intra-cluster medium (ICM), the hot plasma that fills galaxy clusters, are shaped by gravity-driven cluster mergers and feedback from supermassive black holes (…

Introducing RAFIKI: Refining AGN Feedback in Kinetic Implementations

Skylar Grayson, Evan Scannapieco, Romeel Davé +2

Modern cosmological simulations have now matured to the point of reproducing the evolution of realistic galaxy populations across cosmic time. These simulations rely on feedback fr…

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…

Distinguishing AGN Feedback Models with the Thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect

Skylar Grayson, Evan Scannapieco, Romeel Davé

Current models of galaxy formation require strong feedback from active galactic nuclei (AGN) to explain the observed lack of star formation in massive galaxies since z~2 but direct…
