KODIAQ-Z: Metals and Baryons in the Cool Intergalactic and Circumgalactic Gas at 2.2<z<3.6

Nicolas Lehner, Claire Kopenhafer, John O'Meara +8

We present the KODIAQ-Z survey aimed to characterize the cool, photoionized gas at 2.2<z<3.6 in 202 HI-selected absorbers with 14.6<log N(HI)<20, i.e., the gaseous interface betwee…

Probing Hot Gas Components of Circumgalactic Medium in Cosmological Simulations with the Thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect

Junhan Kim, Sunil Golwala, James G. Bartlett +8

The thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (tSZ) effect is a powerful tool with the potential for constraining directly the properties of the hot gas that dominates dark matter halos because i…

The Impact of Cosmic Rays on the Kinematics of the Circumgalactic Medium

Iryna S. Butsky, Jessica K. Werk, Kirill Tchernyshyov +9

We use hydrodynamical simulations of two Milky Way-mass galaxies to demonstrate the impact of cosmic-ray pressure on the kinematics of cool and warm circumgalactic gas. Consistent…

Gas infall and radial transport in cosmological simulations of Milky Way-mass disks

Cameron Trapp, Dusan Keres, T. K. Chan +7

Observations indicate that a continuous supply of gas is needed to maintain observed star formation rates in large, disky galaxies. To fuel star formation, gas must reach the inner…

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…
