Cosmic Ray Feedback in Massive Halos: Implications for the Distribution of Baryons

We use order of magnitude estimates and observational constraints to argue that feedback from relativistic cosmic rays (CRs) produced by massive black holes is likely to have a particularly large effect at radii of order the virial radius and larger in group-mass halos. We show that for a range of p...
