Rapid growth in a dual AGN during a gas-rich merger at z~4.5
Hyewon Suh, Roberto Decarli, Emanuele Paolo Farina +15
The late stages of galaxy mergers - when two supermassive black holes (SMBHs) reach kiloparsec-scale separations - represent a critical phase for understanding SMBH growth, galaxy…
Tracing the AGN-Merger Connection: insights from cosmological simulations and JWST mock observations
Hannah Jhee, Ena Choi, Rachel S. Somerville +6
Galaxy mergers have long been proposed as a mechanism for funneling gas toward galactic centres, potentially triggering accretion onto supermassive black holes (SMBHs) and igniting…
MISTRAL: a model for AGN winds from radiatively efficient accretion in cosmological simulations
Marion Farcy, Michaela Hirschmann, Rachel S. Somerville +11
Feedback from active galactic nuclei (AGN) is crucial for regulating galaxy evolution. Motivated by observations of broad absorption line winds from rapidly accreting supermassive…
Investigating the Impact of Supernova Feedback on Satellites in Elliptical Galaxies
Sumi Kim, Ena Choi, Amanda C. N. Quirk +4
We investigate the influence of supernova (SN) feedback on the satellites of elliptical host galaxies using hydrodynamic simulations. Utilizing a modified version of the GADGET-3 c…
