The evolution of high-redshift massive black holes
Marta Volonteri, Melanie Habouzit, Fabio Pacucci +1
Massive black holes (MBHs) are nowadays recognized as integral parts of galaxy evolution. Both the approximate proportionality between MBH and galaxy mass, and the expected importa…
Off the Beaten Path: A New Approach to Realistically Model The Orbital Decay of Supermassive Black Holes in Galaxy Formation Simulations
Michael Tremmel, Fabio Governato, Marta Volonteri +1
We introduce a force correction term to better model the dynamical friction (DF) experienced by a supermassive black hole (SMBH) as it orbits within its host galaxy. This new appro…
All about baryons: revisiting SIDM predictions at small halo masses
A. Bastidas Fry, F. Governato, A. Pontzen +6
We use cosmological hydrodynamic simulations to consistently compare the assembly of dwarf galaxies in both dominated, Cold (CDM) and Self--Interacting (SIDM) dark matter model…
