Surface density profiles of the O VI and C IV ions in the galactic outflow (R<30 kpc) for the CRMHD (left) and MHD (right) simulations. We show the median of the surface densities as thick lines and their 20th to 80th percentiles using shaded areas. Both metal ions trace the warm-hot component (T∼105−106 K) of the CGM. The different phase structures of both galactic winds lead to differences in the abundance of both ions.
