Properties of the Line-of-Sight Velocity Field in the Hot and X-ray Emitting Circumgalactic Medium of Nearby Simulated Disk Galaxies

J. A. ZuHone, G. Schellenberger, A. Ogorzalek +16

The hot, X-ray-emitting phase of the circumgalactic medium of massive galaxies is believed to be the reservoir of baryons from which gas flows onto the central galaxy and into whic…

Accretion onto disk galaxies via hot and rotating CGM inflows

Jonathan Stern, Drummond Fielding, Zachary Hafen +5

Observed accretion rates onto the Milky-Way and other local spirals fall short of that required to sustain star formation for cosmological timescales. A potential avenue for this u…

The imprint of bursty star formation on alpha-element abundance patterns in Milky Way-like galaxies

Hanna Parul, Jeremy Bailin, Andrew Wetzel +5

Milky Way-mass galaxies in the FIRE-2 simulations demonstrate two main modes of star formation. At high redshifts star formation occurs in a series of short and intense bursts, whi…

What Causes The Formation of Disks and End of Bursty Star Formation?

Philip F. Hopkins, Alexander B. Gurvich, Xuejian Shen +17

As they grow, galaxies can transition from irregular/spheroidal with 'bursty' star formation histories (SFHs), to disky with smooth SFHs. But even in simulations, the direct physic…

Arkenstone I: A Novel Method for Robustly Capturing High Specific Energy Outflows In Cosmological Simulations

Matthew C. Smith, Drummond B. Fielding, Greg L. Bryan +11

Arkenstone is a new model for multiphase, stellar feedback driven galactic winds designed for inclusion in coarse resolution cosmological simulations. In this first paper of a seri…
