Shining Light on the Hosts of the Nano-Hertz Gravitational Wave Sources: A Theoretical Perspective

Vida Saeedzadeh, Suvodip Mukherjee, Arif Babul +2

The formation of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in the Universe and its role in the properties of the galaxies is one of the open questions in astrophysics and cosmology. Though,…

Dynamics of supermassive black hole triples in the ROMULUS25 cosmological simulation

Hauke Koehn, Andreas Just, Peter Berczik +1

For a pair of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in the remnant of a dual galaxy merger, well-known models exist to describe their dynamical evolution until the final coalescence acc…

The Scatter Matters: Circumgalactic Metal Content in the Context of the Relation

N. Nicole Sanchez, Jessica K. Werk, Charlotte Christensen +6

The interaction between supermassive black hole (SMBH) feedback and the circumgalactic medium (CGM) continues to be an open question in galaxy evolution. In our study, we use SPH s…

Cool and gusty, with a chance of rain: Dynamics of multiphase CGM around massive galaxies in the Romulus simulations

Vida Saeedzadeh, S. Lyla Jung, Douglas Rennehan +8

Using high-resolution {\sc Romulus} simulations, we explore the origin and evolution of the circumgalactic medium (CGM) in the region 0.1 $\leq \mathrm{R}/\mathrm{R}_\mathrm{500} \…

The Role of Mass and Environment on Satellite distributions around Milky Way analogs in the Romulus25 simulation

Jordan Van Nest, Ferah Munshi, Charlotte Christensen +3

We study satellite counts and quenched fractions for satellites of Milky Way analogs in Romulus25, a large-volume cosmological hydrodynamic simulation. Depending on the definition…

High-redshift supermassive black hole mergers in simulations with dynamical friction modelling

Colin DeGraf, Nianyi Chen, Yueying Ni +4

In the near future, projects like LISA and Pulsar Timing Arrays are expected to detect gravitational waves from mergers between supermassive black holes, and it is crucial to preci…
