Hooks, Lines, and Sinkers: How Active Galactic Nucleus Feedback and Cosmic-Ray Transport Shape the Far-infrared–Radio Correlation of Galaxies by Sam B. Ponnada, Rachel K. Cochrane, Philip F. Hopkins, Iryna S. Butsky, Sarah Wellons, N. Nicole Sanchez, Cameron Hummels, Yue Samuel Lu, Dušan Kereš, Christopher C. Hayward

“…We present the first reproduction of the z  ∼ 0 FRC using detailed synthetic observations of state-of-the-art cosmological zoom-in simulations from the Feedback in Realistic Environments (FIRE-3) suite with explicitly evolved CR proton and electron (CRe) spectra, for three models for CR transport and multichannel active galactic nucleus (AGN) feedback. In doing so, we generally verify the predictions of “calorimeter” theories at high FIR luminosities ( L _60 _μ _m  ≳ 10 ^9.5 L _⊙ ) and at low FIR luminosities ( L _60 _μ _m ≲ 10 ^9.5 L _⊙ ), the so-called “conspiracy” of increasing UV radiation escape in tandem with increasing CRe escape, and find that the global FRC is insensitive to orders-of-magnitude locally variable CR transport coefficients. …”
