Cover Story: We use the SIMBA-C cosmological simulation to map the metal distributions in an intragroup medium (IGrM). SIMBA-C combines the SIMBA galaxy formation model with an upgraded chemical enrichment model (Chem5) that has shown success in improving galaxy-scale properties. We study the IGrM abundance profiles of the selected metals and compare these results with X-ray observations. Overall, the SIMBA-C profiles are in good agreement with the observations, but low-mass groups are over-enriched in a few elements (eg O, Si, Fe), suggesting that, while a more realistic chemical enrichment model improves agreement with observations, other processes (e.g., stellar/AGN feedback, turbulent diffusion) need to be better modelled to reproduce the observed gaseous group environments in the galaxies-to-groups transition zone.

We study the Stueckelberg field in de Sitter space, which is a massive vector field with the gauge fixing (GF) term 12ζ(Aμ;μ)2. We obtain the vacuum stress tensor, which consists of the transverse, longitudinal, temporal, and GF parts, and...

On 25 February 2014 at around 00:39 UT, a major solar flare (code: SOL2014-02-25T00:39) erupted at sunspot region AR11990. Using the updated science quality data of GOES-15, it has been classified as an X7.13 solar flare. This gave rise to the electr...

It is always more evident that the kinematics of galaxies provide us with unique information on the Nature of the dark particles and on the properties of the galaxy Dark Matter (DM) halos. However, in investigating this topic, we have to be very care...

Thermal relics with masses in the GeV to TeV range remain possible candidates for the Universe’s dark matter (DM). These neutral particles are often assumed to have vanishing electric and magnetic dipole moments so that they do not interact wit...

13 February 2025

In the present work, we study cosmology in dilatonic f(R,T) gravity to address the inflationary phase of the early universe. As usual, in dilatonic gravity, the scalar potential assumes the exponential form. However, this potential is not good enough...

13 February 2025

Based on Newtonian mechanics, in this article, we present a heuristic derivation of the Friedmann equations, providing an intuitive foundation for these fundamental relations in cosmology. Additionally, using the first law of thermodynamics and Euler...
