The Multi-Scale Multi-Phase Circumgalactic Medium: Observed and Simulated
read the original abstract
These are exciting times for studies of galaxy formation and the growth of structures. New observatories and advanced simulations are revolutionising our understanding of the cycling of matter into, through, and out of galaxies. This chapter first describes why baryons are essential for galaxy evolution, providing a key test of Lambda-Cold Dark Matter cosmological model. In particular, we describe a basic framework to convert measurements of the gas properties observed in absorption spectra into global estimates of the condensed (stars and cold gas) matter mass densities. We then review our current understanding of the cycling of baryons from global to galactic scales, in the so-called circumgalactic medium. The final sections are dedicated to future prospects, identifying new techniques and up-coming facilities as well as key open questions. This chapter is complemented with a series of hands-on exercises which provide a practical guide to using publicly available hydrodynamical cosmological simulations. Beyond providing a direct connection between new observations and advanced simulations, these exercises give the reader the necessary tools to make use of these theoretical models to address their own science questions. Ultimately, our increasingly accurate description of the circumgalactic medium reveals its crucial role in transforming the pristine early Universe into the rich and diverse Universe of the present day.

Cooler Phases of the Circumgalactic Medium Are More Centrally Concentrated: Constraints from Multiphase Absorption Lines
Multiphase CGM absorption in DESI data shows cooler ions (Ca II, Mg II) have steeper radial W profiles than C IV, with galaxy vs. quasar differences, consistent with simulations.

Cooler Phases of the Circumgalactic Medium Are More Centrally Concentrated: Constraints from Multiphase Absorption Lines
Cooler CGM phases traced by Ca II and Mg II exhibit steeper radial equivalent width profiles than the warmer C IV phase, with host-type differences and stellar-mass dependence.

Baryonic Ecosystem IN Galaxies (BEINGMgII) -- III. Cool gas reservoirs at $0.3 \le z \le 1.6$ in the Dark Energy Survey
New sample of 377 galaxies shows MgII absorber strength rising with redshift, positive correlations with stellar mass and SFR, clumpy CGM structure, and mostly bound gas consistent with galactic fountain recycling.

New constraints on stellar feedback through [O III] emission: interpreting ALMA and JWST observations with SPICE simulations
Simulations show that bursty supernova feedback produces fewer bright [OIII] emitters by z=5 than smooth feedback due to less effective metal enrichment, while [OIII] traces shock-heated and radiatively ionized gas.
