Constraining the mass density of free-floating black holes using razor-thin lensing arcs

Uddipan Banik, Frank C. van den Bosch, Michael Tremmel +5

Strong lensing of active galactic nuclei in the radio can result in razor-thin arcs, with a thickness of less than a milli-arcsecond, if observed at the resolution achievable with…

Not So Heavy Metals: Black Hole Feedback Enriches The Circumgalactic Medium

N. Nicole Sanchez, Jessica K. Werk, Michael Tremmel +4

We examine the effects of SMBH feedback on the CGM using a cosmological hydrodynamic simulation \citep[{\sc Romulus25};][]{Tremmel2017} and a set of four zoom-in `genetically modif…

The Accretion History of AGN I: Supermassive Black Hole Population Synthesis Model

Tonima Tasnim Ananna, Ezequiel Treister, Claudia Megan Urry +6

As matter accretes onto the central supermassive black holes in active galactic nuclei (AGN), X-rays are emitted. We present a population synthesis model that accounts for the summ…

Introducing RomulusC: A Cosmological Simulation of a Galaxy Cluster with Unprecedented Resolution

Michael Tremmel, Thomas R. Quinn, Angelo Ricarte +6

We present the first results from RomulusC, the highest resolution cosmological hydrodynamic simulation of a galaxy cluster run to date. RomulusC, a zoom-in simulation of a halo wi…

Multimessenger Signatures of Massive Black Holes in Dwarf Galaxies

Jillian Bellovary, Colleen Cleary, Ferah Munshi +4

Recent discoveries of massive black holes (MBHs) in dwarf galaxies suggest that they may have a more common presence than once thought. Systematic searches are revealing more candi…

Tangos: the agile numerical galaxy organization system

Andrew Pontzen, Michael Tremmel

We present Tangos, a Python framework and web interface for database-driven analysis of numerical structure formation simulations. To understand the role that such a tool can play,…

Wandering Supermassive Black Holes in Milky Way Mass Halos

Michael Tremmel, Fabio Governato, Marta Volonteri +2

We present a self-consistent prediction from a large-scale cosmological simulation for the population of `wandering' supermassive black holes (SMBHs) of mass greater than M$…
