The Origins of the Circumgalactic Medium in the FIRE Simulations
Z. Hafen, C. -A. Faucher-Giguere, D. Angles-Alcazar +10
We use a particle tracking analysis to study the origins of the circumgalactic medium (CGM), separating it into (1) accretion from the intergalactic medium (IGM), (2) wind from the…

Does circumgalactic OVI trace low-pressure gas beyond the accretion shock? Clues from HI and low-ion absorption, line kinematics, and dust extinction
Jonathan Stern, Claude-André Faucher-Giguère, Joseph F. Hennawi +3
Large OVI columns are observed around star-forming, low-redshift ~L* galaxies, with a dependence on impact parameter indicating that most O^5+ particles reside beyond half the halo…
