Incidence Rate of GRB-host-DLAs at High Redshift
Kentaro Nagamine, Bing Zhang, Lars Hernquist
We study the incidence rate of damped Ly-a systems associated with the host galaxies of gamma-ray bursts (GRB-host-DLAs) as functions of neutral hydrogen column density (N_HI) and…
Building Galaxies with Simulations
Romeel Davé, Kristian Finlator, Lars Hernquist +4
We present an overview of some of the issues surrounding current models of galaxy formation, highlighting recent insights obtained from cosmological hydrodynamic simulations. Detai…
The Evolution of the M-sigma Relation
Brant Robertson, Lars Hernquist, Thomas J. Cox +4
(Abridged) We examine the evolution of the black hole mass - stellar velocity dispersion (M-sigma) relation over cosmic time using simulations of galaxy mergers that include feedba…
Mapping the Cosmic Web with Ly-alpha Emission
Steven Furlanetto, Joop Schaye, Volker Springel +1
We use a high-resolution cosmological simulation to predict the distribution of HI Ly-alpha emission from the low-redshift (z<0.5) intergalactic medium (IGM). Our simulation can be…
Hubble Space Telescope Observations of NGC 6240: a Case Study of an Ultra-Luminous Infrared Galaxy with Obscured Activity
Joris Gerssen, Roeland P. van der Marel, David Axon +3
We present results from an HST study of the morphology and kinematics of NGC 6240. This merging galaxy with a double nucleus is one of the nearest and best-studied ultraluminous in…
Effects of Wandering on the Coalescence of Black Hole Binaries in Galactic Centers
Pinaki Chatterjee, Lars Hernquist, Abraham Loeb
We examine whether massive binary black holes in spherically symmetric bulges of galaxies can achieve coalescence through the emission of gravitational radiation under the action o…
