We study the effect of a fluctuating active galactic nucleus (AGN) on the abundance of circumgalactic OVI in galaxies selected from the Evolution and Assembly of GaLaxies and their Environments simulations. We follow the time-variable OVI abundance i... Read More about Metals in the circumgalactic medium are out of ionization equilibrium due to fluctuating active galactic nuclei.
