We contrast the latest observations of the cosmic metal density in neutral gas ($\rho _{\rm {met,neu}}$) with three cosmological galaxy evolution simulations: L-Galaxies 2020, TNG100, and EAGLE. We find that the fraction of total metals that are in neutral gas is <40 per cent at 3 ≲ z ≲ 5 in these simulations, whereas observations of damped Lyman-α (DLA) systems suggest ≳ 85 per cent. In all three simulations, hot, low-density gas is also a major contributor to the cosmic metal budget, even…

The neutral atomic gas content of individual galaxies at large cosmological distances has until recently been difficult to measure due to the weakness of the hyperfine H i 21 cm transition. Here we…

Galaxies throughout the last 12 Gyr of cosmic time follow a single, universal fundamental plane that relates their star-formation rates (SFRs), stellar masses ( M (cid:63) ) and chemical abundances…
