Marvelous Metals: Surveying the Circumgalactic Medium of Simulated Dwarf Galaxies

Dwarf galaxies are uniquely sensitive to feedback processes and known to experience substantial mass and metal loss from their disks. Here, we investigate the circumgalactic medium (CGM) of 64 isolated dwarf galaxies ( 6.040% toward lower masses. Our findings highlight the CGM (particularly its warm phase) as a key reservoir of mass and metals for dwarf galaxies across stellar masses, underscoring its importance in understanding the baryon cycle in the low-mass regime. Finally, we provide individual simulated galaxy properties and quantify the fraction of UV-observable mass to support future observational programs aimed at performing a metal budget around dwarf galaxies.
