On the Survival of Cool Clouds in the Circum-Galactic Medium
Zhihui Li, Philip F. Hopkins, Jonathan Squire +1
We explore the survival of cool clouds in multi-phase circum-galactic media. We revisit the "cloud crushing problem" in a large survey of simulations including radiative cooling, s…
Properties of the Circumgalactic Medium in Cosmic Ray-Dominated Galaxy Halos
Suoqing Ji, T. K. Chan, Cameron B. Hummels +6
We investigate the impact of cosmic rays (CRs) on the circumgalactic medium (CGM) in FIRE-2 simulations, for ultra-faint dwarf through Milky Way (MW)-mass halos hosting star-formin…
Astro2020 APC White Paper: Elevating the Role of Software as a Product of the Research Enterprise
Arfon M. Smith, Dara Norman, Kelle Cruz +42
Software is a critical part of modern research, and yet there are insufficient mechanisms in the scholarly ecosystem to acknowledge, cite, and measure the impact of research softwa…
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…
The Nature of Ionized Gas in the Milky Way Galactic Fountain
Jessica K. Werk, Kate H. R. Rubin, Hannah V. Bish +6
We address the spatial scale, ionization structure, mass and metal content of gas at the Milky Way disk-halo interface detected as absorption in the foreground of seven closely-spa…
Imprint of Drivers of Galaxy Formation in the Circumgalactic Medium
Benjamin D. Oppenheimer, Juna Kollmeier, Andrey Kravtsov +16
The majority of baryons reside beyond the optical extent of a galaxy in the circumgalactic and intergalactic media (CGM/IGM). Gaseous halos are inextricably linked to the appearanc…
Understanding the circumgalactic medium is critical for understanding galaxy evolution
Molly S. Peeples, Peter Behroozi, Rongmon Bordoloi +69
Galaxies evolve under the influence of gas flows between their interstellar medium and their surrounding gaseous halos known as the circumgalactic medium (CGM). The CGM is a major…
The Column Density, Kinematics, and Thermal State of Metal-Bearing Gas within the Virial Radius of z~2 Star-Forming Galaxies in the Keck Baryonic Structure Survey
Gwen C. Rudie, Charles C. Steidel, Max Pettini +5
We present results from the Keck Baryonic Structure Survey (KBSS) including the first detailed measurements of the column densities, kinematics, and internal energy of metal-bearin…
