Revealing the Impact of Critical Stellar Central Density on Galaxy Quenching through Cosmic Time by Bingxiao Xu, Yingjie Peng

“…As the halo evolves from the cold to hot accretion phase at lower redshifts, the gas is shock-heated and becomes more vulnerable to the feedback processes from active galactic nucleus as predicted by theory. Meanwhile, angular momentum quenching also becomes more effective at low redshifts, which complements a lower level of integrated energy from the BH to quench.…”

Galaxy mergers moulding the circum-galactic medium – I. The impact of a major merger by Hani, Maan H, Sparre, Martin, Ellison, Sara L, Torrey, Paul A., Vogelsberger, Mark

“…While the merger increases the total metal covering fractions by factors of 2-3, the covering fractions of commonly observed UV ions decrease due to the hard ionizing radiation from the active galactic nucleus, which we model explicitly. Our study of the single simulated major merger presented in this work demonstrates the significant impact that a galaxy interaction can have on the size, metallicity, and observed column densities of the CGM.…”

Revealing a Highly Dynamic Cluster Core in Abell 1664 with Chandra by Calzadilla, Michael S, Russell, Helen R, McDonald, Michael A., Fabian, Andrew C, Baum, Stefi A, Combes, Françoise, Donahue, Megan, Edge, Alastair C, McNamara, Brian R, Nulsen, Paul EJ, O’Dea, Christopher P, Oonk, JB Raymond, Tremblay, Grant R, Vantyghem, Adrian N

“…Our results indicate that the core of A1664 is highly disturbed, as the global metallicity and cooling time flatten at small radii, implying mixing on a range of scales. The central active galactic nucleus (AGN) appears to have recently undergone a mechanical outburst, as evidenced by our detection of cavities. …”

Limits on Hot Galactic Halo Gas from X-ray Absorption Lines by Yao, Yangsen, Nowak, Michael A., Wang, Q. D., Schulz, Norbert S., Canizares, Claude R.

“…Attributing these line absorptions to the hot gas associated with the Galactic disk, we search for the gaseous halo around the Milky Way by comparing this sight line with more distant ones (toward the X-ray binary LMC X-3 and the active galactic nucleus Mrk 421). We find that all the line absorptions along the LMC X-3 and Mrk 421 sight lines are attributable to the hot gas in a thick Galactic disk, as traced by the absorption lines in the spectra of 4U 1957+11 after a Galactic latitude-dependent correction. …”
