Description

Studying the distribution and properties of hot gas around galaxies (hot CGM) helps constrain the galaxy evolution models but its observation is challenging. The first four SRG/eROSITA all-sky surveys (eRASS:4) allow us to detect the hot CGM by stacking a large sample of galaxies. In this talk, I will present the results we obtained about the difference of the hot CGM around star-forming and quiescent galaxies. We find either selected in stellar mass or halo mass, the star-forming galaxies do not host brighter stacked X-ray emission from the hot CGM than their quiescent counterparts at the same mass range. The result provides useful constraints on the extent of feedback's impacts as a mechanism for quenching star formation.
