Title: Circumgalactic Media of Low-mass, Star-forming EAGLE Galaxies
Abstract: Advances in observational techniques have made it possible to analyze the circumgalactic medium (CGM) in previously inaccessible detail. Often defined as the elusive region outside of the disk but within the virial radius of galaxies, the CGM is thought to have a critical role in processes such as galaxy formation and evolution. With the EAGLE cosmological simulations we were able to analyze the CGM of low-mass, star-forming galaxies. In this talk I will present a few results from this study, namely the radial distribution of various ions in the CGM and the mock H I absorption spectra associated with these galaxies at high redshift.
