The outer Galaxy presents an optimal setting for investigating molecular clouds and star formation in environments with low metallicity. A total of 72 Galactic edge clouds were surveyed using the CO\,(2--1) line with the IRAM\,30\,m…

We study gas mixing in a simulated Milky Way-mass galaxy's circumgalactic medium (CGM) using cosmological `zoom-in' simulations. We insert tracer dyes in the CGM with different gas flows (shearing, coherent, and static) and diverse physical…
