Multi-Phase Gas Physics in the CGM
MPA Special Seminar on Galaxy Formation
- Date: Aug 24, 2022
- Time: 02:00 PM - 03:00 PM (Local Time Germany)
- Speaker: S. Peng Oh
- Location: MPA
- Room: MPA, new seminar room E.0.11
- Host: MPA
I discuss small scale physical processes which affect the formation and survival of warm (T ~ 10^4 K) gas in the CGM, which is crucial for fueling star formation in the host galaxy. In particular, I will discuss thermal instability in the presence of magnetic fields and cosmic rays, and cold gas survival during infall onto the galaxy.
