The role of magnetic fields in ram pressure stripping of satellite galaxies in the circumgalactic medium around massive galaxies
The presence of magnetic fields in galaxies and their haloes could have important consequences for satellite galaxies moving through the magnetised circumgalactic medium (CGM) of their host. We therefore study the effect of magnetic fields on ram pressure stripping of satellites in the CGM of massive galaxies. We use cosmological `zoom-in' simulations of three massive galaxy haloes ($M_{\rm{200c}} = 10^{12.5-13}$M$_\odot$), each simulated with and without magnetic fields. The fraction of gas re…

The day before the Winter Solstice, 2024 This post is about finally finding a book from one’s youth forty years later – and after nearly thirty years of searching. It is also a tale about gob…

As promised, the @… fundraising campaign seems to be storming ahead, so here's a new - and rather hastily edited - video from NW #Greenland fieldwork just up on @… Just in case anyone finds it interesting and fun. I made this in shotcut. At some point I'll work out how to annotate them properly I guess...
Enjoy!

I seem to be having a rush* of new followers on my occasional #peertube channel - no idea why? Bots?
Does this mean I should post more videos? Anyone else seeing more people arriving to peertube?
*Ok, "rush" is relative, but it's more than two hundred now

One of my favourite peertube channels btw is @… who in this inspiring video, explains how she makes all her vids on linux.
If I ever get more time, I will seriously follow some of these recommendations - I'm already a fan of @…
