The Young Supernova Experiment: Survey Goals, Overview, and Operations
D. O. Jones, R. J. Foley, G. Narayan +68
Time domain science has undergone a revolution over the past decade, with tens of thousands of new supernovae (SNe) discovered each year. However, several observational domains, in…
Tidal disruption events in the first billion years of a galaxy
Hugo Pfister, Jane Dai, Marta Volonteri +3
Accretion of stars on massive black holes (MBHs) can feed MBHs and generate tidal disruption events (TDEs). We introduce a new physically motivated model to self-consistently treat…
Black hole mergers from dwarf to massive galaxies with the NewHorizon and Horizon-AGN simulations
Marta Volonteri, Hugo Pfister, Ricarda S. Beckman +12
Massive black hole (MBH) coalescences are powerful sources of low-frequency gravitational waves. To study these events in the cosmological context we need to trace the large-scale…
Enhancement of the tidal disruption event rate in galaxies with a nuclear star cluster: from dwarfs to ellipticals
Hugo Pfister, Marta Volonteri, Jane Lixin Dai +1
We compute the tidal disruption event (TDE) rate around local massive black holes (MBHs) with masses as low as , thus probing the dwarf regime for the…
The Obelisk simulation: galaxies contribute more than AGN to HI reionization of protoclusters
Maxime Trebitsch, Yohan Dubois, Marta Volonteri +9
We present the Obelisk project, a cosmological radiation-hydrodynamics simulation following the assembly and reionization of a protocluster progenitor during the first two billions…
Real galaxy mergers from galaxy pair catalogs
Hugo Pfister, Massimo Dotti, Clothilde Laigle +2
Mergers of galaxies are extremely violent events shaping their evolution. Such events are thought to trigger starbursts and, possibly, black hole accretion. Nonetheless, it is stil…
