Unravelling the physics of multiphase AGN winds through emission line tracers
Alexander J. Richings, Claude-Andre Faucher-Giguere, Jonathan Stern
Observations of emission lines in Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) often find fast (~1000 km s^-1) outflows extending to kiloparsec scales, seen in ionised, neutral atomic and molecula…
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…
OVI Traces Photoionized Streams With Collisionally Ionized Boundaries in Cosmological Simulations of Massive Galaxies
Clayton Strawn, Santi Roca-Fàbrega, Nir Mandelker +6
We analyse the distribution and origin of OVI in the Circumgalactic Medium (CGM) of dark-matter haloes of M at in the VELA cosmological zoom-in simu…
The time-scales probed by star formation rate indicators for realistic, bursty star formation histories from the FIRE simulations
José A. Flores Velázquez, Alexander B. Gurvich, Claude-André Faucher-Giguère +10
Understanding the rate at which stars form is central to studies of galaxy formation. Observationally, the star formation rates (SFRs) of galaxies are measured using the luminosity…
Virialization of the inner CGM in the FIRE simulations and implications for galaxy discs, star formation and feedback
Jonathan Stern, Claude-André Faucher-Giguère, Drummond Fielding +13
We use the FIRE-2 cosmological simulations to study the formation of a quasi-static, virial-temperature gas phase in the circumgalactic medium (CGM) at redshifts 0<z<5, and how the…
