Which AGN Jets Quench Star Formation in Massive Galaxies?

Kung-Yi Su, Philip F. Hopkins, Greg L. Bryan +12

Without additional heating, radiative cooling of gas in the halos of massive galaxies (Milky Way and above) produces cold gas or stars in excess of that observed. Previous work sug…

First results from SMAUG: Uncovering the Origin of the Multiphase Circumgalactic Medium with a Comparative Analysis of Idealized and Cosmological Simulations

Drummond B. Fielding, Stephanie Tonnesen, Daniel DeFelippis +12

We examine the properties of the circumgalactic medium (CGM) at low redshift in a range of simulated Milky Way mass halos. The sample is comprised of seven idealized simulations, a…

Swirls of FIRE: Spatially Resolved Gas Velocity Dispersions and Star Formation Rates in FIRE-2 Disk Environments

Matthew E. Orr, Christopher C. Hayward, Anne M. Medling +6

We study the spatially resolved (sub-kpc) gas velocity dispersion ()--star formation rate (SFR) relation in the FIRE-2 (Feedback in Realistic Environments) cosmological simulati…

But What About... Cosmic Rays, Magnetic Fields, Conduction, & Viscosity in Galaxy Formation

Philip F. Hopkins, T. K. Chan, Shea Garrison-Kimmel +6

We present a suite of high-resolution cosmological simulations, using the FIRE-2 feedback physics together with explicit treatment of magnetic fields, anisotropic conduction and vi…

Cosmic Rays or Turbulence can Suppress Cooling Flows (Where Thermal Heating or Momentum Injection Fail)

Kung-Yi Su, Philip F. Hopkins, Christopher C. Hayward +6

The quenching `maintenance' and `cooling flow' problems are important from the Milky Way through massive cluster elliptical galaxies. Previous work has shown that some source of en…

Cosmic ray feedback in the FIRE simulations: constraining cosmic ray propagation with GeV gamma ray emission

T. K. Chan, D. Keres, P. F. Hopkins +4

We present the implementation and the first results of cosmic ray (CR) feedback in the Feedback In Realistic Environments (FIRE) simulations. We investigate CR feedback in non-cosm…
