The multiphase circumgalactic medium traced by low metal ions in EAGLE zoom simulations (2018)
Journal Article
Oppenheimer, B. D., Schaye, J., Crain, R. A., Werk, J. K., & Richings, A. J. (2018). The multiphase circumgalactic medium traced by low metal ions in EAGLE zoom simulations. Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 481(1), 835-859. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/sty2281

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)
Journal Article
Richings, A. J., & Faucher-Giguère, C. A. (2018). Radiative cooling of swept-up gas in AGN-driven galactic winds and its implications for molecular outflows. Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 478(3), 3100-3119. https://doi.org/10.1093/MNRAS/STY1285

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.
