The Angular Momentum of the Circumgalactic Medium in the TNG100 Simulation [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2020
Abstract We present an analysis of the angular momentum content of the circumgalactic medium (CGM) using TNG100, one of the flagship runs of the IllustrisTNG project. We focus on Milky Way–mass halos (∼1012 M ⊙) at z = 0 but also analyze other masses and redshifts up to z = 5.

The impact of star formation feedback on the circumgalactic medium [PDF]

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2016
We use idealized 3D hydrodynamic simulations to study the dynamics and thermal structure of the circumgalactic medium (CGM). Our simulations quantify the role of cooling, stellar feedback driven galactic winds and cosmological gas accretion in setting the properties of the CGM in dark matter haloes ranging from $10^{11}$ to $10^{12}$ M$_\odot$.

Gas Kinematics in the Multiphase Circumgalactic Medium

, 2016
We use high-resolution Keck, VLT, or Hubble Space Telescope spectra of background quasars to examine the kinematic properties of the multiphase, metal-enriched circumgalactic medium in the outskirts of galaxies at 0.08 < zgal < 1.0, focusing on the

Metal Enrichment in the Circumgalactic Medium and Lyα Halos around Quasars at z ∼ 3 [PDF]

, 2020
Deep observations have detected extended Lyα emission nebulae surrounding tens of quasars at redshift 2–6. However, the metallicity of such extended halos is still poorly understood. We perform a detailed analysis on a large sample of 80 quasars at z ∼ 3

The Panchromatic Circumgalactic Medium

, 2019
Galaxies are surrounded by extended atmospheres, which are often called the circumgalactic medium (CGM) and are the least understood part of galactic ecosystems. The CGM serves as a reservoir of both diffuse, metal-poor gas accreted from the intergalactic medium, and metal-rich gas that is either ejected from galaxies by energetic feedback or stripped ...

DUST IN THE CIRCUMGALACTIC MEDIUM OF LOW-REDSHIFT GALAXIES [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2015
Using spectroscopically selected galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey we present a detection of reddening due to dust in the circumgalactic medium of galaxies. We detect the mean change in the colors of "standard crayons" correlated with the presence of foreground galaxies at z ~0.05 as a function of angular separation.

The hidden circumgalactic medium

, 2019
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 interstellar medium and the cosmic web, hence its properties are directly shaped by the baryon cycle.

Probing extreme black‐hole outflows on short timescales via high spectral‐resolution x‐ray imagers

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 345, Issue 6-7, July-August 2024.
Abstract We investigate outflows and the physics of super‐Eddington versus sub‐Eddington regimes in black hole systems. Our focus is on prospective science using next‐generation high‐resolution soft x‐ray instruments. We highlight the properties of black hole ultraluminous x‐ray source (ULX) systems in particular. Owing to scale invariance in accreting

Galactic winds in cosmological simulations of the circumgalactic medium [PDF]

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2013
(Abridged) We explore new observationally-constrained sub-resolution models of galactic outflows and investigate their impact on the circumgalactic medium (CGM) over redshifts z = 2 - 4. We perform cosmological hydrodynamic simulations, including star formation, chemical enrichment, and four cases of SNe-driven outflows: no wind (NW), an energy-driven ...

Regulation of Star Formation by a Hot Circumgalactic Medium

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Galactic outflows driven by supernovae (SNe) are thought to be a powerful regulator of a galaxy’s star-forming efficiency. Mass, energy, and metal outflows ( η _M , η _E , and η _Z , here normalized by the star formation rate, the SNe energy, and metal ...
