The birth of the intracluster medium: the evolution of multiphase gas and Lyman- haloes in a simulated protocluster

Jake S. Bennett, Aaron Smith, Fabrizio Arrigoni-Battaia +3

Galactic haloes host a complex, multiphase circumgalactic medium (CGM), and at high redshift are fed by cold, filamentary inflows. In contrast, mature galaxy clusters are dominated…

The imprint of AGN-driven outflows on the CGM: the case of Lyα nebulae around high-z quasars

Silvia C. Rueda-Vargas, Vincenzo Mainieri, Giulia Tozzi +5

Some cosmological hydrodynamical simulations predict that outflows driven by active galactic nuclei (AGN) play a key role in powering the Ly nebulae observed around high-redshif…

A deep X-ray look to the most obscured quasar at z~3.6 and its environment

I. Villani, L. Zappacosta, E. Piconcelli +17

The most luminous and obscured quasars (QSOs) detected in infrared all-sky surveys could represent a key co-evolutionary phase from nuclear to circum-galactic (CG) scales in the fo…

Scrutiny of a very young, metal-poor star-forming Lyα-emitter at z ~ 3.7

E. Iani, A. Zanella, J. Vernet +9

The origin of the Lyman- (Ly) emission in galaxies is a long-standing issue: despite several processes known to originate this line (e.g. AGN, star formation, cold accretion,…

Stellar feedback in a clumpy galaxy at 3.4

E. Iani, A. Zanella, J. Vernet +18

Giant star-forming regions (clumps) are widespread features of galaxies at . Theory predicts that they can play a crucial role in galaxy evolution if they survive to…

A cosmic web filament revealed in Lyman-alpha emission around a luminous high-redshift quasar

Sebastiano Cantalupo, Fabrizio Arrigoni-Battaia, J. Xavier Prochaska +2

Simulations of structure formation in the Universe predict that galaxies are embedded in a "cosmic web", where the majority of baryons reside as rarefied and highly ionized gas. Th…
