    New observatories and advanced simulations are revolutionising our understanding of the cycling of matter into, through, and out of galaxies. In this talk I will provide an overview of the normal matter in collapsed structures, their chemical make-up and dust content. I will present fresh clues of the cosmic evolution of cold gas with cosmic times as well as its spatial distribution around...

    I will present results from the FLAMINGO suite of large-volume cosmological hydrodynamical simulations on the impact of baryons on various large-scale structure observables and its implication for the 'S8 tension'. I will also discuss the crucial role that independent measurements of the intragroup medium play and I will examine the consistency between various data sets (particularly, X-ray,...

    The circumgalactic medium (CGM) plays a critical role in galaxy formation and evolution. The X-ray missions Chandra, XMM-Newton, and Suzaku opened a new window on CGM studies, allowing us to probe the warm-hot gas where most of the galactic baryons reside. In over two decades since the launch of Chandra and XMM-Newton, we have made great strides in understanding the CGM, but significant...

    We have certainly reached a consensus that galaxy evolution depends intricately on the cosmic baryon cycle. Inflows from the IGM meet outflows driven by feedback processes, creating the dynamic, multi-phase CGM. The physics of these gaseous halos, and the baryon cycle as a whole, are the key to understanding galaxy evolution. This is, however, a challenging regime for cosmological...

    The first all-sky maps of high ionization lines observed in X-rays by eROSITA will provide an excellent probe for the study of the hot phase (T ∼ 10^6 K) of the Milky Way (MW) circumgalactic medium (CGM). In this work we analyse the OVIII line detected in the eROSITA data. We fit sky maps made in narrow energy bins around the lines, with physical emission models embedded in a 3D geometry to...

The presentation will highlight recent insights from modeling cooling flows in galaxy-scale halos and the concept of outside-in virialization, in which the inner CGM is the last part of a halo to sustain a hot phase. Time permitting, I will summarize...

    A basic ansatz employed by studies of circumgalactic low/mid-ion absorbers is that they trace 'clouds' or 'mist' with minute filling fractions, embedded in a hot T ~ T_vir volume-filling medium. I will present evidence from cosmological and idealized simulations that this ansatz may be incorrect for absorbers with high equivalent widths (EW >~1 A). Such high EW absorbers instead trace a T <<...

    The circumgalactic medium (CGM) plays a pivotal role in every aspect of the formation and evolution of galaxies from the highest redshifts to the present day. While UV observations have made significant progress in mapping the warm gas around galaxies, the bulk of the baryons reside in the CGM in the form of tenuous, hot, X-ray-emitting gas. This hot gas can only be studied with X-ray...

    "Mapping the distribution of baryonic mass on large scales, specifically within group-sized halos, is vital to clarify how much of the missing baryons is locked up within halos and filaments.

    Low-mass galaxy groups are the most common environments for galaxies in the Universe, and they provide a crucial link between cosmology and galaxy evolution. However, their hot gas and baryon content are poorly constrained by current X-ray observations due to their low surface brightness.

    The CMB provides and clean and direct way to measure the gas distribution in the outskirts of galaxies and clusters, and therefore measure the effect of feedback. Combining pressure (from tSZ), density (from kSZ) and lensing data, we can reconstruct the full thermodynamic properties of the halo and test hydrodynamical simulations. Moreover, direct measurements of gas density are able to...

    The low redshift Lyman-α (Lyα) forest (z ≲ 2) presents a challenge for both observers and theorists. Observationally, it is difficult to collect data due to the need for high resolution space-based FUV spectrographs. The observational data we do have for the forest (which lies largely below z=0.5) challenges predictions from cosmological hydrodynamic simulations. In order to resolve theory and...
