We explore the circumgalactic metal content traced by commonly observed low ion absorbers, including C II, SiII, SiIII, SiIV, and MgII. We use a set of cosmological hydrodynamical zoom simulations run with the EAGLE model and including a non-equilibr...

Radiative cooling of swept-up gas in AGN-driven galactic winds and its implications for molecular outflows (2018)

We recently used hydrochemical simulations to demonstrate that molecular outflows observed in luminous quasars can be explained by molecule formation within the active galactic nucleus (AGN) wind. However, these simulations cover a limited parameter... Read More about Radiative cooling of swept-up gas in AGN-driven galactic winds and its implications for molecular outflows.
