Same galaxy, different CGM: how the metal loading of galactic winds regulates the baryon cycle in Milky Way-mass galaxies

Prachi Khatri, Freeke van de Voort, Rebekka Bieri +5

The circumgalactic medium (CGM) is both the reservoir of gas that fuels star formation and galaxy growth, and the repository for the mass, energy, and metals expelled through stell…

Where has all the -process gone? Timescales for GRB-Kilonovae to Enrich their Host Galaxies

Anya E. Nugent, Alexander P. Ji, Wen-fai Fong +2

Neutron star (NS) mergers are currently the only observed source of -process production in the Universe. Yet, it is unclear how much -process mass from these mergers is incor…

The Structure and Dynamics of Massive High- Cosmic-Web Filaments: Three Radial Zones in Filament Cross-Sections

Yue Samuel Lu, Nir Mandelker, S. Peng Oh +5

We analyse the internal structure and dynamics of cosmic-web filaments that connect massive high- haloes. Our analysis is based on a high-resolution AREPO cosmological simulatio…

ALMACAL X: Constraints on molecular gas in the low-redshift circumgalactic medium

Anne Klitsch, Timothy A. Davis, Aleksandra Hamanowicz +3

Despite its crucial role in galaxy evolution, the complex circumgalactic medium (CGM) remains underexplored. Although it is known to be multi-phase, the importance of the molecular…

Exploring the diversity and similarity of radially anisotropic Milky Way-like stellar haloes: implications for disrupted dwarf galaxy searches

Matthew D. A. Orkney, Chervin F. P. Laporte, Robert J. J. Grand +7

We investigate the properties of mergers comparable to the Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus (GSE) using cosmological hydrodynamical simulations of Milky Way-like galaxies. The merger progeni…

Bringing Stellar Evolution & Feedback Together: Summary of proposals from the Lorentz Center Workshop, 2022

Sam Geen, Poojan Agrawal, Paul A. Crowther +34

Stars strongly impact their environment, and shape structures on all scales throughout the universe, in a process known as ``feedback''. Due to the complexity of both stellar evolu…
