To Survive or To Shatter: The Impact of Cosmic Rays on the Fate of Stripped Cold Clouds

Does cosmic-ray (CR) pressure matter for the circumgalactic medium (CGM)? While prior studies suggest that CRs influence the thermal and dynamical state of the CGM, their overall importance remains an open question due to limited observational constraints and the strong dependence of simulation pred...
