Abstract
We study the disc-corona interaction in different galactic environments through parsec-resolution hydrodynamical simulations. We find that this interaction could trigger the condensation of a fraction of hot coronal gas but the efficiency of this phenomenon is significantly reduced at increasing coronal temperature. - takes place at the interface - cold metal-rich gas mixes with low-Z hot gas - the mixing can cause the cooling of the hot gas (Marinacci et al., 2010)

No condensation or evaporation

The higher the galaxy virial mass, the higher the coronal temperature the lower the coronal gas condensation.
