198. The interaction between stars and the ISM on “cloud scales” unveiled by machine learning

Francesco Belfiore (INAF - Arcetri Astrophysical Observatory)

14/07/2025, 09:25

Supernova feedback & ISM

Talk

HII regions are fundamental units of the matter cycle in galaxies and their optical emission serves as the main lens through which we study star formation and chemical enrichment across the Universe. They are the sites where ionising radiation and stellar winds have their main impact, turbulence is injected, and heavy elements are dispersed into the interstellar medium. The sizes and internal...

208. The (Un)Changing ISM and the Impact of Feedback in FIRE Galaxies through Cosmic Time

Matt Orr (Flatiron Institute & Rutgers University)

14/07/2025, 09:45

Supernova feedback & ISM

Talk

In this talk I will present results from the FIRE cosmological zoom-in simulations exploring the (un)changing properties of the ISM through cosmic time, from redshift three to zero. I will highlight how on (sub)kiloparsec scales, several important properties of the ISM do not change as the galaxies grow and evolve from dispersion-supported, star-bursting objects to rotation-supported, smoothly...

Lise Ramambason (Heidelberg University)

14/07/2025, 10:05

Supernova feedback & ISM

Talk

Nearby galaxies observed at high spatial resolution with JWST, ALMA, and MUSE allow us to address fundamental questions related to the influence of young stars on their surrounding interstellar medium (ISM), from cloud to galactic scales: How far can ionizing photons travel, and what physical mechanisms favor their escape from HII regions? How do such processes shape the ISM and influence...

165. Unraveling the interplay of cosmic ray and stellar feedback in galaxy formation

Timon Thomas (Leibniz-Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam)

14/07/2025, 11:45

Cosmic rays & radiative feedback

Talk

The interstellar and circumgalactic media are the two important reservoirs that fuel star formation in galaxies. Their highly turbulent internal dynamics are shaped by feedback processes such as supernova (SN) explosions and subsequently accelerated cosmic rays (CRs). With recent advances in the hydrodynamical modeling of the interactions between CRs, magnetic fields, and their environment, it...

150. Probing cosmic-ray driven winds with deep radio observations

Allison Matthews (Carnegie Observatories)

14/07/2025, 12:05

Cosmic rays & radiative feedback

Talk

Modern computational advancements have brought about a resurgence in the consideration of cosmic-rays for driving galactic outflows. This is particularly important in normal galaxies whose thermal and radiation pressure alone is insufficient to expel gas and dust from the disk. Synchrotron radio emission is one of the only—and by far the most accessible—direct tracers of cosmic-rays in...

242. The formation of a meta-stable CR corona round Milky Way analogues

Francisco Rodriguez Montero (KICP, University of Chicago)

14/07/2025, 12:25

Cosmic rays & radiative feedback

Talk

Despite the many successes of cosmological galaxy formation and evolution simulations, they commonly implement baryonic feedback in a phenomenological manner by calibrating “boosting” parameters, which somewhat diminishes their predictive power and restricts their usefulness in interpreting observational data. An alternative approach is to improve the modelling of feedback processes from first...

24. Observing Neutral Outflows in High-Redshift Galaxies with JWST

Sirio Belli (Università di Bologna)

14/07/2025, 14:55

Observed properties and theory of galactic winds

Talk

Thanks to the unprecedented sensitivity of JWST/NIRSpec, we are now able to study neutral atomic outflows in massive galaxies at high redshift. By detecting optical resonant lines such as Na D and Ca K, which have long been inaccessible from the ground, we have characterized the velocity and mass outflow rate of the neutral phase for a representative sample of galaxies at z~2, finding that...

72. New Constraints on Molecular Gas Outflows in Massive SFGs at z = 0.5 − 2.6

Capucine Barfety (Max Planck Insitute for Extraterrestrial Physics)

14/07/2025, 15:15

Observed properties and theory of galactic winds

Talk

Feedback in the form of outflows is believed to be a key ingredient in galaxy evolution. In cosmic noon galaxies, outflows have mainly been detected - and extensively studied - in the ionised gas phase. However, it has been surmised that a large fraction of outflowing mass may be in molecular gas form, as suggested by results of luminous but rare AGNs and quasars. To gain insights into the...

248. Complex outflows lead to simple relations: how M-sigma emerges in a multiphase environment

Kastytis Zubovas (Center for Physical Sciences and Technology)

14/07/2025, 15:35

Observed properties and theory of galactic winds

Talk

Massive, large-scale galactic outflows are well known to be important to galaxy evolution. They shape the high-mass end of the mass function, enriching the circumgalactic and intergalactic medium, preventing the cooling catastrophe in galaxy clusters and so on. They also presumably establish the observed correlations between supermassive black holes and their host galaxies, such as the M-sigma...

Hsiang-Yi Karen Yang (National Tsing Hua University)

14/07/2025, 17:05

AGN jet & quasar feedback

Talk

Relativistic jets emanating from active galactic nuclei (AGNs) play a pivotal role as a feedback mechanism in the Universe, and the cosmic rays (CRs) carried by AGN jets can have profound influence on galaxy properties and the circumgalactic medium. Consequently, self-consistent modeling of CR propagation, spectral evolution, and emission mechanisms is imperative for understanding the thermal...

45. Global energetics and feedback as probed by AGN incidences

Zsofi Igo (Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics)

14/07/2025, 17:25

AGN jet & quasar feedback

Talk

In this talk, I will show how the study of AGN incidence distributions is a powerful tool to understand the global energetics of AGN feedback. We use the complete, spectroscopic GAMA09 survey (z<0.4) to measure the fraction of galaxies hosting radio and X-ray AGN, defined using LOFAR and eROSITA data, as functions of mass-scaled power indicators. We recover the previously found mass-invariant...

263. Multi-scale Simulations of Supermassive Black Hole Accretion and Feedback from Galactic to Event Horizon Scales

Miha Cernetic (The University of Chicago)

14/07/2025, 17:45

AGN jet & quasar feedback

Talk

The profound influence of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) on their host galaxies includes altering the orbits of stars, regulating star formation, modifying gas distribution, to name a few. To understand these processes we need to first understand how SMBHs grow through gas accretion and their associated feedback into the surrounding environment. These factors remain a current crucial...

38. Connecting the turbulent circumgalactic medium to star formation in galaxies

Hsiao-Wen Chen (The University of Chicago)

15/07/2025, 09:25

Circumgalactic medium and multiphase gas

Talk

The CGM and IGM contain fuel for future star formation and a record of past feedback. They are uniquely sensitive to the physics of baryonic flows. Diffuse, ionized plasmas such as the CGM are expected to be turbulent, because of the expected high Reynolds number. The presence and magnitude of this turbulence have profound implications for the sources that drive the thermal and dynamic...

192. The spatial variations of circum-galactic gas structures in high resolution simulations and in state-of-the-art IFU observations

Ramona Augustin (AIP)

15/07/2025, 09:45

Circumgalactic medium and multiphase gas

Talk

Gas flows in and out of galaxies are typically probed by quasar absorption lines which are usually limited to a single sightline through the halo, giving no information on the spatial structure of the gas probed in absorption. First studies using lensed, multiple or extended background objects have shown that there can be significant variation of absorber strengths on relatively small (~kpc...

35. Multiphase gas in cosmological galaxy formation simulations

Rainer Weinberger

15/07/2025, 10:05

Circumgalactic medium and multiphase gas

Talk

The gas cycle in and around galaxies is key to their evolution. Cosmological simulations have made enormous progress over the past decade in coming up with effective models for galaxy formation, unifying the Lambda cold dark matter cosmological model with the theory of galaxy formation. Yet, these simulations still struggle to accurately represent warm and cold gas and its cycling in space and...

Oleg Egorov (Heidelberg University)

15/07/2025, 11:45

Supernova feedback & ISM

Talk

Massive stars in star-forming regions inject huge amounts of energy and momentum into the ISM, producing ubiquitous superbubbles, turbulent gas motions and outflows. The coupling efficiency of mechanical stellar feedback and its dependence on metallicity remains uncertain in simulations. High angular resolution observations with integral-field spectrographs (e.g., MUSE), combined with the...

66. What regulates the star formation rates in galaxies?

Patrick Hennebelle

15/07/2025, 12:05

Supernova feedback & ISM

Talk

Understanding what regulates star formation in galaxies is a fundamental question in astrophysics. However, a simple estimate of the star formation rate (SFR) that a galaxy like ours should have overpredicts the observed SFR by nearly two orders of magnitude. Over the past 50 years, three main explanations have been proposed to account for these low observed SFRs: magnetic fields, turbulence,...

85. Modeling the multi-phase ISM shaped by star formation and feedback in the LMC

Xinyue Liang (Institute of Theoretical Astrophysics, University of Heidelberg)

15/07/2025, 12:25

Supernova feedback & ISM

Talk

The small-scale processes of star formation and feedback are tightly linked to galaxy evolution through a multi-scale matter cycle. During this cycle, stars form from the interstellar medium (ISM), and reshape it by injecting energy, momentum and metals, completing a feedback loop. The duration and the efficiency of the successive stages of this cycle vary across and within galaxies, but the...

141. Insights from High-Resolution QED Simulations- Metal transport and Outflow properties

Aditi Vijayan (Australian National University)

16/07/2025, 09:25

Observed properties and theory of galactic winds

Talk

Galactic-scale outflows, driven by supernova feedback in Milky Way-mass galaxies, play a crucial role in transporting metals from the disc to the circumgalactic medium (CGM). The distribution of these metals across different temperature phases within multiphase outflows is key to understanding CGM enrichment, as metal loading varies between phases. High-resolution, idealized simulations of...

162. Unveiling the Secrets of High-Velocity Outflows of the LMC's 30 Doradus Starburst

Suraj Poudel (Texas Christian University)

16/07/2025, 09:45

Observed properties and theory of galactic winds

Talk

Starburst regions in a galaxy are the primary source of stellar-driven winds, which contribute to regulating the star-formation cycle. We investigate the properties of the gas distribution, kinematics, and ionization conditions of the near-side outflow along eight sightlines that reside in the 30 Doradus region of the LMC using UV absorption-line and H I 21-cm radio emission-line observations....

HItesh Kishore Das (Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics, Garching)

16/07/2025, 11:45

Circumgalactic medium and multiphase gas

Talk

Galaxies interact with their surrounding circumgalactic medium (CGM) through complex feedback mechanisms that regulate their evolution. The CGM, like other astrophysical media, is a turbulent, magnetised environment where mixing processes and radiative cooling drive the formation of multiphase gas. Understanding this multiphase nature is crucial for understanding the baryon cycle, yet...

161. Cosmic Ray Feedback-Driven Evolution of Cold Gas in the Circumgalactic Medium

Matthias Weber

16/07/2025, 12:05

Circumgalactic medium and multiphase gas

Talk

The circumgalactic medium (CGM) is the nexus of galaxy formation. Fresh gas that fuels star formation must pass through the CGM to reach the interstellar medium, while material accelerated by feedback and expelled from galaxies builds up a gaseous reservoir in the CGM. Observations reveal vast amounts of cold gas in the CGM, yet the processes that shape its dynamics remain uncertain....

201. Finding the circumgalactic medium in the Lyman-alpha forest

Duarte Muñoz Santos (Laboratoire d'Astrophysique de Marseille)

16/07/2025, 12:25

Circumgalactic medium and multiphase gas

Talk

Studying the circumgalactic medium (CGM) is a challenge, particularly at the key epoch prior to Cosmic Noon ($z > 2$), where galaxies samples remain very small. However, there is an abundance of Lyman-alpha forest data that contain a wealth of information about the conditions present in this medium.

Morrison et al (2024) showed that a new class of CGM absorption should be studied: Strong...

Maria Werhahn

16/07/2025, 14:55

Cosmic rays & radiative feedback

Talk

Cosmic rays (CRs) are ubiquitous in the interstellar medium (ISM) of the Milky Way and nearby galaxies and are thought to play an essential role in governing their evolution. However, many of their properties remain poorly constrained. Since direct measurements of CRs are limited to our local environment, observations of radio and gamma-ray emission arising from CRs provide a powerful tool to...

89. How magnetic fields alter feedback and angular momentum transfer in MW-like galaxies

Joseph Whittingham (AIP)

16/07/2025, 15:15

Cosmic rays & radiative feedback

Talk

In previous work, we have shown that magnetic fields are fundamental to the evolution of MW-like galaxies. Specifically, in the Auriga model, magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations produce realistic galaxies with spiral arm structure and radially-extended discs, whilst their hydrodynamic counterparts are systematically smaller, and exhibit bar and stellar ring features not observed in nature....

250. Towards reliable simulations of magnetic fields in galaxies

Benedikt Diemer (University of Maryland)

16/07/2025, 15:35

Cosmic rays & radiative feedback

Talk

It is generally believed that the magnetic dynamo in galaxies is a key factor in amplifying small cosmic seed fields to the strengths observed today, both within galaxies and in the CGM/IGM. While simulations with MHD have generally shown modest changes of the overall star formation, magnetic fields are a key factor in the propagation of cosmic rays and their effect on the cloud-scale physics...

High-z galaxy formation & reionization

Talk

Large-scale cosmological simulations of galaxies like IllustrisTNG have been enormously useful at providing quantitative insights on galaxy evolution, especially after the end of Reionization. However, their limited numerical resolution and, crucially, their crude implementations of the physics of star formation, of stellar feedback, of cold gas and of the interstellar medium makes them less...

214. Galaxy assembly in the first billion years: Mini-quenching, lulling galaxies and more evidence for bursty SFHs driven by intense feedback

Tobias Looser (Harvard University)

17/07/2025, 09:45

High-z galaxy formation & reionization

Talk

Directly observing the first quenched galaxies and understanding the feedback mechanisms that shaped their star-formation histories (SFHs), quenching and baryon cycles is crucial for constraining galaxy formation models. Prior to JWST, quenched galaxies were only identified up to z < 4, and high-redshift (z > 3) quenched galaxies were exclusively massive (M⋆ > 10^10 M⊙). JWST has now pushed...

Nicholas Choustikov (University of Oxford)

17/07/2025, 10:05

High-z galaxy formation & reionization

Talk

Various solutions have been proposed to solve the high-redshift `bright galaxy problem', such as more efficient star formation, more bursty star formation, and top heavy initial mass functions. While equally interesting, each scenario must also differ in how these stellar populations couple to the interstellar medium (ISM) through stellar feedback. In this talk, I will present first results...

Feedback in galaxies since cosmic noon

Talk

The cool gaseous halos around galaxies hold some of the keys in understanding feedback and galactic winds. This cool halo gas can be best studied with background quasars, which are very sensitive probes of not only its presence, but also of its kinematics. With a sample of more than 100 galaxy-quasar pairs from the Megaflow survey, I will present the latest constraints on the metal...

Feedback in galaxies since cosmic noon

Talk

Many cosmological simulations typically rely on highly mass loaded, ejective winds, particularly for low mass galaxies, to regulate star formation. Recent hints from observations, analytical theory, and idealised simulations have pointed towards lower mass loadings, and a more preventative form of feedback. Using the Arkenstone winds framework, for the first time we model the impact of low...
