The Impact of Galactic Feedback on the Circumgalactic Medium

Understand

Galactic feedback strongly affects the way galactic environments are enriched.

• We examine this connection by performing a suite of cosmological hydrodynamic simulations, exploring a range of parameters based on the galaxy formation model developed in Vogelsberger et al.
• 2013 (henceforth V13).
• We examine the effects of AGN feedback, wind mass loading, wind specific energy, and wind metal-loading on the properties of the circumgalactic medium (CGM) of galaxies with $M_\text{halo} > 10^{11} M_\odot$.
