A multi-scale view of molecular gas and magnetic fields in the Antennae galaxies
Akhil Lasrado, Enrique Lopez-Rodriguez, Claudia Cicone +5
Major mergers are transformative events in galaxy evolution, dynamically reshaping the stellar and gas makeup of the hosts, as well as the galaxy-scale magnetic fields (B-fields) t…
Marvelous Metals: Surveying the Circumgalactic Medium of Simulated Dwarf Galaxies
Daniel R. Piacitelli, Alyson M. Brooks, Charlotte Christensen +7
Dwarf galaxies are uniquely sensitive to energetic feedback processes and are known to experience substantial mass and metal loss from their disk. Here, we investigate the circumga…
Constraining the physical properties of gas in high-z galaxies with far-infrared and submillimetre line ratios
Alice Schimek, Claudia Cicone, Sijing Shen +3
Optical emission line diagnostics, which are a common tool to constrain the properties of the interstellar medium (ISM) of galaxies, become progressively inaccessible at higher red…
Atacama Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope (AtLAST) Science: The hidden circumgalactic medium
Minju M. Lee, Alice Schimek, Claudia Cicone +29
Our knowledge of galaxy formation and evolution has incredibly progressed through multi-wavelength observational constraints of the interstellar medium (ISM) of galaxies at all cos…
The origin of cold gas in the Circumgalactic Medium
Davide Decataldo, Sijing Shen, Lucio Mayer +2
The presence of cold ( K) gas in the circumgalactic medium (CGM) of galaxies has been confirmed both in observations and high-resolution simulations, but its origi…
High resolution modeling of [CII], [CI], [OIII] and CO line emission from the ISM and CGM of a star forming galaxy at z ~ 6.5
Alice Schimek, Davide Decataldo, Sijing Shen +10
The circumgalactic medium (CGM) is a crucial component of galaxy evolution, but thus far its physical properties are highly unconstrained. As of yet, no cosmological simulation has…
Numerical dependencies of the galactic dynamo in isolated galaxies with SPH
Robert Wissing, Sijing Shen
Understanding the numerical dependencies that act on the galactic dynamo is a crucial step in determining what resolution and what conditions are required to properly capture the m…
The Dawn of Disk Formation in a Milky Way-sized Galaxy Halo: Thin Stellar Disks at
Tomas Tamfal, Lucio Mayer, Thomas R. Quinn +5
We present results from \textsc{GigaEris}, a cosmological, -body hydrodynamical "zoom-in" simulation of the formation of a Milky Way-sized galaxy halo with unprecedented resolut…
Magnetorotational instability with smoothed particle hydrodynamics
R. Wissing, S. Shen, J. Wadsley +1
We present a thorough numerical study on the MRI using the smoothed particle magnetohydrodynamics method (SPMHD) with the geometric density average force expression (GDSPH). We per…
The star formation history of Eridanus II: on the role of SNe feedback in the quenching of ultra-faint dwarf galaxies
C. Gallart, M. Monelli, T. Ruiz-Lara +17
Eridanus II (EriII) is an ultra-faint dwarf (UFD) galaxy (M_V=-7.1) located at a distance close to the Milky Way virial radius. Early shallow color-magnitude diagrams (CMD) indicat…
The baryon cycle of Seven Dwarfs with superbubble feedback
Mattia Mina, Sijing Shen, Benjamin Walter Keller +3
We present results from a high-resolution, cosmological, CDM simulation of a group of field dwarf galaxies with the "superbubble" model for clustered SN feedback, accounting for…

We present results from the "Mint" resolution DC Justice League suite of Milky Way-like zoom-in cosmological simulations, which extend our study of nearby galaxies down into the ul…
The hidden circumgalactic medium
Claudia Cicone, Carlos De Breuck, Chian-Chou Chen +15
The cycling of baryons in and out of galaxies is what ultimately drives galaxy formation and evolution. The circumgalactic medium (CGM) represents the interface between the interst…

We analyze the metal accumulation in dwarf and spiral galaxies by following the history of metal enrichment and outflows in a suite of twenty high-resolution simulated galaxies. Th…
Cosmological simulations of dwarfs: the need for ISM physics beyond SN feedback alone
