We characterize the properties of the intergalactic medium (IGM) around a sample of galaxies extracted from state-of-the-art hydrodynamical simulations of structure formation in a cosmological volume of 25 Mpc comoving at $zsim 2$. The simulations are based on two different subresolution schemes for star formation and supernova feedback: the MUlti-Phase Particle Integrator (MUPPI) scheme and the Effective Model. We develop a quantitative and probabilistic analysis based on the apparent optical depth method of the properties of the absorbers as a function of impact parameter from their nearby galaxies: in such a way we probe different environments from circumgalactic medium to low-density filaments. Absorbers properties are then compared with a spectroscopic observational data set obtained from high-resolution quasar spectra. Our main focus is on the N$_{rm{ CIV}}$-N$_{rm { HI}}$ relation around simulated galaxies: the results obtained with MUPPI and the Effective model are remarkably similar, with small differences only confined to regions at impact parameters $b = [1-3] times r_{rm {vir}}$. Using $mbox{C IV}$ as a tracer of the metallicity, we obtain evidence that the observed metal absorption systems have the highest probability to be confined in a region of 150-400 kpc around galaxies. Near-filament environments have instead metallicities too low to be probed by present-day telescopes, but could be probed by future spectroscopical studies. Finally we compute $mbox{C IV}$ covering fractions which are in agreement with observational data.
Observed reddening in the circum-galactic medium (CGM) indicates a significant abundance of small grains, of which the origin is still to be clarified. We examine a possible path of small-grain production through shattering of pre-existing large grai
We investigate the properties of HI-rich galaxies detected in blind radio surveys within the hierarchical structure formation scenario using a semi-analytic model of galaxy formation. By drawing a detailed comparison between the properties of HI-sele
We present simulations of isolated disc galaxies in a realistic environment performed with the Tree-SPMHD-Code Gadget-3. Our simulations include a spherical circum-galactic medium (CGM) surrounding the galactic disc, motivated by observations and the
We explore the survival of cool clouds in multi-phase circum-galactic media. We revisit the cloud crushing problem in a large survey of simulations including radiative cooling, self-shielding, self-gravity, magnetic fields, and anisotropic Braginskii
Gas flows in and out of galaxies through their circumgalactic medium (CGM) are poorly constrained and direct observations of this faint, diffuse medium remain challenging. We use a sample of five $z$ $sim$ 1-2 galaxy counterparts to Damped Lyman-$alp
