Invisible Accretion: Ionized Envelopes of TNG50 HVCs Can Sustain Star Formation

Galactic high-velocity clouds (HVCs) are known to be complex, multiphase systems consisting of neutral and/or ionized gas moving at high velocities relative to the rotation of the disk. In this work, we investigate Milky Way–like galaxies from the TNG50 simulation to characterize the properties, mor...
