Snapshots of the stratified box from the A1 (top) and A3 (bottom) simulations at t = 500 Myr with, from left to right: the gas density, CR proton energy density, vertical velocity of the gas, vertical magnetic field, and four CR 12C bins at middle-valued momentum values of p = 6.90 GeV c−1, p = 7.01 × 101 GeV c−1, p = 7.12 × 102 GeV c−1, and p = 7.24 × 103 GeV c−1. We observe a correlation between the magnetic field structure, outflows of gas, and outflows of CR protons and carbon. Carbon at relativistic energies is more spread in the vertical direction, showing the action of rigidity-dependent diffusion.
