Quantifying Baryonic Feedback on the Warm–Hot Circumgalactic Medium in CAMELS Simulations by Isabel Medlock, Chloe Neufeld, Daisuke Nagai, Daniel Anglés-Alcázar, Shy Genel, Benjamin D. Oppenheimer, Xavier Sims, Priyanka Singh, Francisco Villaescusa-Navarro

“…The parameters controlling the stellar feedback efficiency significantly impact AGN feedback, as seen in the suppression of black hole mass growth and delayed activation of AGN feedback to higher-mass halos with increasing stellar feedback efficiency in both simulations. Additionally, the AGN feedback efficiency parameters affect the CGM gas fraction at low halo masses in SIMBA, hinting at complex, nonlinear interactions between the AGN and supernova feedback modes. …”
