The Fates of the Circumgalactic Medium in the FIRE Simulations
Z. Hafen, C. -A. Faucher-Giguere, D. Angles-Alcazar +7
We analyze the different fates of the circumgalactic medium (CGM) in FIRE-2 cosmological simulations, focusing on the redshifts z=0.25 and z=2 representative of recent surveys. Our…
The maximum accretion rate of hot gas in dark matter halos
Jonathan Stern, Drummond Fielding, Claude-André Faucher-Giguère +1
We revisit the question of 'hot mode' versus 'cold mode' accretion onto galaxies using steady-state cooling flow solutions and idealized 3D hydrodynamic simulations. We demonstrate…
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…
Cooling flow solutions for the circumgalactic medium
Jonathan Stern, Drummond Fielding, Claude-André Faucher-Giguère +1
In several models of galaxy formation feedback occurs in cycles or mainly at high redshift. At times and in regions where feedback heating is ineffective, hot gas in the galaxy hal…
Ultraviolet Perspectives on Diffuse Gas in the Largest Cosmic Structures
Joseph N. Burchett, Daisuke Nagai, Iryna Butsky +31
The past decade has seen an explosion of discoveries and new insights into the diffuse gas within galaxies, galaxy clusters, and the filaments composing the Cosmic Web. A new decad…
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…
