Which AGN Jets Quench Star Formation in Massive Galaxies?

Kung-Yi Su, Philip F. Hopkins, Greg L. Bryan +12

Without additional heating, radiative cooling of gas in the halos of massive galaxies (Milky Way and above) produces cold gas or stars in excess of that observed. Previous work sug…

Smoothed Particle Radiation Hydrodynamics: Two-Moment method with Local Eddington Tensor Closure

T. K. Chan, Tom Theuns, Richard Bower +1

We present a new radiative transfer method (SPH-M1RT) that is coupled dynamically with smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH). We implement it in the (task-based parallel) SWIFT gal…

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…

Pressure balance in the multiphase ISM of cosmologically simulated disk galaxies

Alexander B. Gurvich, Claude-André Faucher-Giguère, Alexander J. Richings +13

Pressure balance plays a central role in models of the interstellar medium (ISM), but whether and how pressure balance is realized in a realistic multiphase ISM is not yet well und…

A dark matter profile to model diverse feedback-induced core sizes of CDM haloes

Alexandres Lazar, James S. Bullock, Michael Boylan-Kolchin +11

We analyze the cold dark matter density profiles of 54 galaxy halos simulated with FIRE-2 galaxy formation physics, each resolved within of the halo virial radius. These ha…

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…
