We use adaptive mesh refinement cosmological simulations to study the spatial distribution and covering fraction of OVI absorption in the circumgalactic medium (CGM) as a function of projected virial radius and azimuthal angle. We compare these simulations to an observed sample of 53 galaxies from the Multiphase Galaxy Halos Survey. Using Mockspec, an absorption line analysis pipeline, we generate synthetic quasar absorption line observations of the simulated CGM. To best emulate observations, we studied the averaged properties of 15,000 mock samples each of 53 sightlines having a distribution of $D/R_{vir}$ and sightline orientation statistically consistent with the observations. We find that the OVI covering fraction obtained for the simulated galaxies agrees well with the observed value for the inner halo ($D/R_{vir} leq 0.375$) and is within $1.1sigma$ in the outer halo ($D/R_{vir} > 0.75$), but is underproduced within $0.375 < D/R_{vir} leq 0.75$. The observed bimodal distribution of OVI covering fraction with azimuthal angle, showing higher frequency of absorption along the projected major and minor axes of galaxies, is not reproduced in the simulations. Further analysis reveals the spatial-kinematic distribution of OVI absorbing gas is dominated by outflows in the inner halo mixed with a inflowing gas that originates from further out in the halo. Though the CGM of the individual simulated galaxies exhibit spatial structure, the flat azimuthal distribution occurs because the individual simulated galaxies do not develop a CGM structure that is universal from galaxy to galaxy.
Most of the baryonic mass in the circumgalactic medium (CGM) of a spiral galaxy is believed to be warm-hot, with temperature around $10^6$K. The narrow OVI absorption lines probe a somewhat cooler component at $log rm T(K)= 5.5$, but broad OVI absorb
The majority of galactic baryons reside outside of the galactic disk in the diffuse gas known as the circumgalactic medium (CGM). While state-of-the art simulations excel at reproducing galactic disk properties, many struggle to drive strong galactic
Traditional cosmological hydrodynamics simulations fail to spatially resolve the circumgalatic medium (CGM), the reservoir of tenuous gas surrounding a galaxy and extending to its virial radius. We introduce the technique of Enhanced Halo Resolution
We analyse the properties of circumgalactic gas around simulated galaxies in the redshift range z >= 3, utilising a new sample of cosmological zoom simulations. These simulations are intended to be representative of the observed samples of Lyman-alph
Galaxies are surrounded by extended atmospheres, which are often called the circumgalactic medium (CGM) and are the least understood part of galactic ecosystems. The CGM serves as a reservoir of both diffuse, metal-poor gas accreted from the intergal
