Black Hole Growth and Feedback in Isolated Romulus25 Dwarf Galaxies

Abstract

We investigate the effects of massive black hole growth on the structural evolution of dwarf galaxies within the Romulus25 cosmological hydrodynamical simulation. We study a sample of 228 central, isolated dwarf galaxies with stellar masses $M_{star}<10^{10}{M}_{\odot }$ and a central BH. We find that the local $M_{BH}-M_{star}$ relation exhibits a high degree of scatter below $M_{star}<10^{10}{M}_{\odot }$, which we use to classify BHs as overmassive or undermassive relative to their host $M_{star}$. Overmassive BHs grow through a mixture of BH mergers and relatively high average accretion rates, while undermassive BHs grow slowly through accretion. We find that isolated dwarf galaxies that host overmassive BHs also follow different evolutionary tracks relative to their undermassive BH counterparts, building up their stars and dark matter earlier and experiencing star formation suppression starting around $z=2$. By $z=0.05$, overmassive BH hosts above $M_{star}>10^9{M}_{\odot }$ are more likely to exhibit lower central stellar mass density, lower HI gas content, and lower star formation rates than their undermassive BH counterparts. Our results suggest that overmassive BHs in isolated galaxies above $M_{star}>10^9{M}_{\odot }$ are capable of driving feedback, in many cases suppressing and even quenching star formation by late times.
