Low-Redshift Lyman Limit Systems as Diagnostics of Cosmological Inflows and Outflows
Z. Hafen, C. -A. Faucher-Giguere, D. Angles-Alcazar +6
We use cosmological hydrodynamic simulations with stellar feedback from the FIRE project to study the physical nature of Lyman limit systems (LLSs) at z<1. At these low redshifts,…

A Stellar Feedback Origin for Neutral Hydrogen in High-Redshift Quasar-Mass Halos
C. -A. Faucher-Giguere, R. Feldmann, E. Quataert +3
Observations reveal that quasar host halos at z~2 have large covering fractions of cool dense gas (>~60% for Lyman limit systems within a projected virial radius). Most simulations…
