Strong Evidence for Cosmic Ray-Supported L Galaxy Halos via X-ray \& tSZ Constraints

Sam B. Ponnada, Philip F. Hopkins, Yue Samuel Lu +3

Many state-of-the-art galaxy simulations featuring traditional feedback modes have significant challenges producing enough extended soft X-ray ( keV) emission at R $\si…

To Survive or to Shatter: The Impact of Cosmic Rays on the Fate of Stripped Cold Clouds

Manami Roy, Kung-Yi Su, Stephanie Tonnesen +3

Does cosmic ray (CR) pressure matter for the circumgalactic medium (CGM)? Despite growing interest, this remains a debated question, complicated by limited observational constraint…

Constraining cosmic ray transport models using circumgalactic medium properties and observables

Yue Samuel Lu, Dušan Kereš, Philip F. Hopkins +3

Cosmic rays (CRs) are a pivotal non-thermal component of galaxy formation and evolution. However, the intricacies of CR physics, particularly how they propagate in the circumgalact…

Modeling Cosmic Rays at AGN Jet-Driven Shock Fronts

Kung-Yi Su, Greg L. Bryan, Philip F. Hopkins +4

Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) feedback is a key physical mechanism proposed to regulate star formation, primarily in massive galaxies. In particular, cosmic rays associated with AGN…

Hooks, Lines, and Sinkers: How AGN Feedback and Cosmic-Ray Transport shape the Far Infrared-Radio Correlation of Galaxies

Sam B. Ponnada, Rachel K. Cochrane, Philip F. Hopkins +7

The far-infrared (FIR) - radio correlation (FRC) is one of the most promising empirical constraints on the role of cosmic-rays (CRs) and magnetic fields (\textbf{B}) in galaxy form…
