Virial shocks are suppressed in cosmic ray-dominated galaxy halos

Suoqing Ji, Dušan Kereš, T. K. Chan +5

We study the impact of cosmic rays (CRs) on the structure of virial shocks, using a large suite of high-resolution cosmological FIRE-2 simulations accounting for CR injection by su…

Probing the CGM of Low-redshift Dwarf Galaxies Using FIRE Simulations

Fei Li, Mubdi Rahman, Norman Murray +7

Observations of UV metal absorption lines have provided insight into the structure and composition of the circumgalactic medium (CGM) around galaxies. We compare these observations…

The Impact of Cosmic Rays on Thermal Instability in the Circumgalactic Medium

Iryna S. Butsky, Drummond B. Fielding, Christopher C. Hayward +3

Large reservoirs of cold (~ 10^4 K) gas exist out to and beyond the virial radius in the circumgalactic medium (CGM) of all types of galaxies. Photoionization modeling suggests tha…

The Keck Baryonic Structure Survey: Using foreground/background galaxy pairs to trace the structure and kinematics of circumgalactic neutral hydrogen at

Yuguang Chen, Charles C. Steidel, Cameron B. Hummels +13

We present new measurements of the spatial distribution and kinematics of neutral hydrogen in the circumgalactic and intergalactic medium surrounding star-forming galaxies at z ~ 2…

Cosmic-Ray Driven Outflows to Mpc Scales from Galaxies

Philip F. Hopkins, T. K. Chan, Suoqing Ji +4

We study the effects of cosmic rays (CRs) on outflows from star-forming galaxies in the circum and inter-galactic medium (CGM/IGM), in high-resolution, fully-cosmological FIRE-2 si…
