Visualization of the distribution of clouds in a quadrant of our highest resolved GIBLE halo, a Milky Way-like galaxy at z = 0. The center of the galaxy is in the top right corner (main image). The image extends R200c from edge-to-edge, and ±R200c along the projection direction. The colors show mean mass-weighted gas temperatures in projection. The circles show the positions of the many hundred cold dense CGM gas clouds with masses greater than 105 M⊙. Our fiducial sample with Mcl ∼ 106 M⊙ is marked in gray. The inset, a highly zoomed-in region of the halo, shows a slice of the Voronoi mesh centered around a random cloud from our sample, with all member cells outlined by white lines. Despite their small sizes, the clouds (and their interface layers) were resolved with ∼3700 (2550) gas cells, which enabled the study of small-scale phenomena self-consistently evolved in a cosmological context.
